That got me thinking.

In the movies or Rambo world. Muslim terrorists are tortured and spill their guts within minutes!

And in another movie, the American prisoners are tortured for years and never spill their guts! Some of them even die then tell their captors what they want to hear!

A guy once told me that he thought we should burn terrorists alive in Times Square, because that would ‘stop it dead’. No one would ever raise a hand to us again.

I did have to remind him that we’re talking about the sort of people who crash jetliners they are on into buildings, on purpose, and that perhaps fanaticism is not so easily quelled.

He said that was a new idea to him, interestingly, and agreed to think about it.
