Default Re: OT: Big Daddy Amin Dead at 80

I don't know the answer to that question - who does? However few or many, whether all at once or one at a time, the ultimate question in my mind is, "Is this what is necessary to defend against WMD terrorism?" For that is the ultimate issue, and the problem won't be wished away or ignored any longer. And the US is not the only country that is at risk. Anybody who is perceived as the enemy by these people is a legitimate target for them. It's either conVersion to Islam (as they interpret it), or jihad to the death. There have been movements like this in the past (the Assassins of the 13th century, the Anarchists/Nihilists of the late 19th century), but all they had was knives and poison, dynamite and pistols. Nowadays the stakes are exponentially higher.
