Sadly, we may have to kill them all.

Courtesy of James Wolcott:

A choice example of the faux-agonized tone of some of the sicker neocons, easily parodied: As painful and difficult and contrary as it is and always will be to our Western mores, we may, with heavy heart, be forced to reluctantly dust off our extremely powerful network of ICBM's and use them to, sadly, exterminate every Muslim man, woman, and child on the face of the earth; not that we enjoy this one little bit, but heavy lies the weight of true responsibility as the only civilized nation on earth (etc., etc.)

If that makes you sick, here's another offering, the best that can be said of which is that it's somewhat more honest and straighforward. It closes with this advice:
Your Curmudgeon exhorts you all:

Learn all you can about Islam. Read the Qur'an, and at least one of the authoritative hadith. Make use of the learning of Robert Spencer, Dainel Pipes, Bat Ye'or, and Steven Emerson. Familiarize yourselves with the travails of Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Wafa Sultan, and other apostates from Islam. Familiarize yourselves with the lives of Muslims in Islamic states, and with the sufferings of non-Muslims in lands such as Pakistan and the Philippines where Muslims are a militant force. Don't allow the just-another-harmless-Abrahamic-faith propaganda to condition you to inertia.

Arm yourselves as heavily as you can. If yours is a right-to-carry state, get a concealed-carry permit and buy a handgun. No matter where you live, stock at least one long arm for every adult member of your household. Instruct your children in firearms discipline, and invite them along when you go to the range. Try to interest your neighbors as well; shooting sports are a way to build both the sense of community and the sense of obligation to community defense. And make sure everyone you know is familiar with the citizen's obligation, as a militiaman, to defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

You know it’s just human nature to always look for the most extreme examples of rhetoric from those with whom we disagree. We’re all guilty of it. That’s why it’s such a pleasure for me to have discovered your blog! Talk about a Loose Bolt!
