    John, You can't be suggesting the use of "weapons of mass destruction" ? So I suppose that would mean the end of Israel, Lebanon, Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Iraw, Iran, Syria, Palestine etc. But that would create new problems - industry dying through lack of oil which would give rise to the conditions enjoyed during earlier epoch that is displayed by so many Hollywood Sci-Fi films.

    Yeah, yeah, blah blah - millions of people die - blah blah. Truth: Nobody's gonna miss a few million religious zealots fighting over an acre of sand. Silver lining: The news media can focus on other parts of the world, our presidents can find other much more entertaining (and interesting) ways to sabotage their own political careers, and we'd all be forced to find an alternative fuel because the entire middle east will be a wasteland for a billion years.

      I'm joking (mostly) in case you couldn't tell. I am serious when I say that the Middle East is in desperate need of a conclusionary (just made that word up) war to put an end to its constant barrage of mini-strifes.

        You might have to do that sooner rather than later if the doom-merchants of global warming are right, anyhow, isn't oil supposed to run out in the not too distant future?

                The solution is to turn the entire middle east into a glass parking lot...

                Right. Do you understand that this would put us at war with the rest of the world? Do you know how nervous a first strike on any country would make Russia and China, both with nukes and the missiles to deliver them? Do you think the leader who gives that order will go down in history as the person who brought peace to the Middle East, or the greatest mass murderer the world has ever known? Have you considered how global weather patterns would disperse the fallout? Any ideas how neighboring, non-Islamic countries might feel about a significant number of nukes detonated next door? Have you considered that we would then have to deal with hundreds of millions of now entirely justifiably pissed-off Muslims who are not currently living in the Middle East? Are you ready to be drafted and spend the rest of your life in the military, either securing the oil fields, or guarding our borders? Just off the top of my head, I can think of about a dozen more reasons why your "plan" royally sucks. Hope you design code better than you design peace.

                      I'm too old to be drafted, and bsides, I've already spent time in the military - long before you were even born.

                          When is saig "agree" this is what I was agreeing to "put an end to its constant barrage of mini-strifes" preferably by peaceful means, but by war if need be, but without interference (nor support (militarily or intelligence or finance etc)) from any external country (such as USA, UK, Russia, France, Germany etc). Any interference I suspect would inflame the situation even more. How that would resolve remains to be seen.

                            Run out of what? I personally wish they'd find a viable alternative. $110 per week for gas (two vehicles) is too goddamn much money.

                              You should consider changing your name to Richard. It would be funny in some small way to see your redneck trolling attributed to Richard Simmons (related?), and it would give people yet another reason to call you Dick.

                                You should consider changing your name to Richard. It would be funny in some small way to see your redneck trolling attributed to Richard Simmons (related?), and it would give people yet another reason to call you Dick.

                                  If you're going to participate, you need to come up with longer responses. Right now, you're just fishing for something at witch to lash out.

                                      Run out of what? I personally wish they'd find a viable alternative. $110 per week for gas (two vehicles) is too goddamn much money.

                                        We *were* spending about $60/week for the same vehicles (even that was too much). How's that for quantification?

                                          Expect to pay very much more stupidly expensive prices if "middle east into a glass parking lot" to quote John Simmons, happens.
