First of all, I’m for combating terrorism aggressively and protecting America. I fly a lot all over the world so I’ve got a personal interest as well. This post is not intended to be racists or to incite a posting riot. Just want people to think is all.
Often hear people say or read the comment, “we should just kill them all”, or “we should nuke them”. What would that entail?
Scenario 1:
Well assuming “them all” means all muslims and therefore “killing them all” means to kill all Muslims, here we go…
1. Round up all muslims in the USA into extermination camps. Some type of mass killing and body disposal system for each camp would need to be developed. Many such camps would need to be created across the USA. We would have to develop some type of internal military force to round up everyone and chase down folks in hiding. Suppose such a group would get started by seizing the membership records of all mosques in the USA.
2. Noteworthy muslim populations exist in other western countries. For example, Canada would either have to be severely intimidated or invaded so that all muslims in Canada could be exterminated. The same would apply to the likes of England, Germany, and France as well as other European countries.
3. Simultaneously on the hit list, and this is often heard as well, would be a nuclear strike against all major muslim countries. Strike all major population centers over lets say 10,000 people? The USA would certainly have to boost up nuke production because it would take thousands. As a comparison, consider what it would take to nuke all population centers in Texas over 10,000 inhabitants. Just some of the countries would include (in no particular order):
- Chad, Senegal, Ethiopia, Qatar, Guinea, Somalia, Syria, Niger, Afghanistan, Libya, Central African Republic, Mauritania, Jordan, Turkey, Malaysia, Bangladesh, Kuwait, Mali, Morocco, Albania, Algeria, Oman, Yemen, Togo, Guinea-Bissau, United Arab Emirates, Lebanon, Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Bahrain, Maldives, Cameroon, Pakistan, Tunisia, Egypt, and Indonesia.
The environmental impact from such a substantial number of nuclear detonations is bound to have substantial worldwide consequences. The global economic impact would be devastating. Times would be extremely difficult for the USA given we are a member of a global economy. Look around your house and se how many things you have manufactured in other countries.
Scenario 2:
Assuming the “kill them all” phrase means all countries associated with or sponsoring terrorism, as well as individual religious groups promoting radical islam….here we go…
1. The USA would have to set a definition level of “radical islam”. All muslim people in the USA identified within such a category would be rounded up and put into re-education camps. Those not surrendering would be imprisoned or executed.
2. The USA would have to apply substantial pressure to other western nations to do the same as in number 1. Another alternative would be to send groups of covert hit teams would need to be created and sent to countries to take out specific radical targets or target groups in western countries. Such would likely be difficult to remain covert. There would be many targets, maybe hundreds.
3. Launch a nuclear strike against all significant population centers in muslim countries associated with terrorism. Probably several hundred nuclear devices would be required. Some of the countries would likely include (in no particular order):
- Iran, Syria, Sudan, and maybe Pakistan, Somalia, and North Korea (designated sponsor of terrorism). Cuba is on the sponsor list but they don’t have much history with radical muslim terrorists. Consider engaging Cuba with conventional forces. Libya is currently off the list but should be evaluated.
The environmental impact from such a number of nuclear detonations would have a substantial impact on neighboring countries and possibly worldwide.
The execution of Scenario 2 would likely generate such a backlash in the worldwide muslim community that we would be back to Scenario 1 eventually. It would likely create hundreds of thousands of jihad Johnnies.
Imagine the human impact as well. Would you want a job in the extermination camps? What type of society would we become? Throw the whole US Constitution out the window. The USA would become the largest mass exterminator of people in history.
Japan and the Soviet Union were clear targets. The major problem with combating terrorism is there is no definitive target. With radical Islamic terrorism, they believe in an afterlife reward by being martyred. How can such be combated using the threat of death?
The USA could target the leadership, the Mulas and such, but another would be there to step up and fill the void. It's somewhat difficult to kill a belief.
Anyhow, the next time “kill them all” pops into the conversation, just think of the consequences.
