I Feel Sorry For His Patients
Atrios points to another brilliant letter to the editor, this time from a doctor in Tuscson,
Executions would halt killingsWe can stop the murders of American soldiers in Iraq by those who seek revenge or to regain their power. Whenever there is an assassination or another atrocity we should proceed to the closest mosque and execute five of the first Muslims we encounter.
After all this is a “Holy War” and although such a procedure is not fair or just, it might end the horror.
Machiavelli was correct. In war it is more effective to be feared than loved and the end result would be a more equitable solution for both giving us a chance to build a better Iraq for the Iraqis.

It might end the horror? How about escalating the horror to unimaginable heights?

That’s exactly what the fascist armies in Europe tried to do in the coutries they occupied. It didn’t stop the partisan resistance one little bit. Back then the partisans were motivated by the noble cause of anti-fascism and retained a sense of honour about their armed resistance. And the Nazis lost.
Against fundanazi Islamists? It would unleash carnage on an unimaginable scale. They would not be bound in the least by a sense of humanity, that is the nature of their creed. I am sure that the majority of Iraqis do not want an Iraq ruled by theofascists and to kill them for the crimes of the fundanazis would be the most depraved and abhorrent of actions. It would be almost certain to drive them into the arms of the militias - after all, what would they have to lose?.
We need to show the Iraqi people that we are decent and civilised human beings, something that the occupation armies are failing to do. We can do this best by continuing to demand and take action to end to the slaughter perpetrated by both the occupation forces and the fundanazis against innocents, whoever and wherever they are.
