Watch this and keep reminding yourself these are the people the Baker-Hamilton Commission said we should engage to solve various problems in the Middle East. While you are at it you might also remind yourself that carpetbombing is BAD. VERY VERY BAD.

a better choice is the 10K lb 'daisy cutters' that are dropped out the back of a C-130 on a pallet. There was a 25K lb version, but they were old and unstable.

Conventions when Clinton bombed civilians in Kosovo. It depends on the every changing and quite flexible definition of 'military target'. Indeed a legitimate target needs only to be close by where a bomb hits.

though created by Hannah and Barbara, started as an MGM 'toon. MGM was run, at the time, by Louis B. Mayer, who was Jewish and of Russian extraction. Bill Hanna was not Jewish, and he was incidentally born in Mexico. Joseph Barbara was also not Jewish. (It was their production company which put T&J on TV.)
Either way, none of anything to do with that Professor Bigoted Freak's theory. It was a strange one, albeit laced with evil, and what bothered me the most was his calm and professorial demeanor as he "explained" all this to his students. I mean, announcing that Tom and Jerry was a Disney shows the quality of his research.
"Little mice." I'd never heard that one used. These people are freaks, mutants.
I would also toss in that the protocols of the elders of zion was a document created by antisemites as propaganda.

Remind me again about the "problem" with carpet bombing. It slipped my mind about 45 seconds into the video.

Are you suggesting the way to deal with geoncidal leaders is to kill the people who suffer under them? Hmmmm........ do you really need to have what is wrong with that explained?
to a snarky comment in the original post. You people have no sense of snark. Everything you read is written to offend you or some group of lackluster victims of the month. Sheesh.
That said, and I'm being 100% serious here, no snark. I would have no problem waiting for a gathering of the leadership of Iran, hopefully the leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas and Sadr could be cajoled to attend as well, and bombing the living daylights out of the meeting place with every piece of ordinance we can lay our hands on. I wouldn't approve of a nuke, but a highly targeted arc-light raid would meet with my instant approval and a daisy cutter would also be very effective because they tend to collapse tunnel and bunker systems where rats hide.
Get enough of the "leadership" together and you don't have to kill very many of the "innocents". There would certainly be some collateral damage. I would accept that.
Bottom line, the best way to deal with genocidal leaders is to kill them.

if many of the people who suffer under the genocidal leaders also hate us and want us dead or enslaved (forcibly converted to Islam), they should be killed as well. By carpetbombing, nuclear weapons, or whatever means is necessary.
We need to return to the way we used to fight wars, which is how we took this continent in the first place: mercilessly and without concern for "collateral damage."
you're not just being a moby, the US has never fought its wars that way. At our worst, we weren't always delicate in distinguishing combatants from noncombatants in the Indian Wars, the US was hard on CS civilian property though not so much on CS civilians, and some WWII bombing was fairly indiscriminate. To the degree that war can be civilized, the US has, often to its detriment, striven to conduct itself civilily.

down in the Land of Moonlight and Magnolias, got in the Daytona 500 along the way. Sunny Florida was NOT supposed to be COLD; spent a fortune on sweatshirts!

I know the difference! Good song, though. I'd hate like Hell to know I had to, but I could survive. BTW, Spartanburg is pretty close to "country." Anymore, my idea of roughing it is the microwave on my boat crapping out.
I must say that it sure did feel good to walk under those Georgia pines along the same property lines that my gg/grandfathers walked. Couldn't help myself; had to pee on the corner posts! Hired a surveyor while I was down there to reset all the corner posts, all the old deeds are on meets and bounds and in today's world, that's pretty much the Lawyers' Relief Act if you get into any dispute. Only in The South would a property boundary be described as "along the run of the branch between the property of Mr. ____ and Mr. ____ to the run of Yam Grandy Creek." Spent a whole day with the surveyor finding old fence posts and "fence line" trees to try to give him reference points. The original deed dates to 1795.
And I can call myself - or you - a Redneck; we earned it. I'd fight anyone else who did.

other than that we agree!

would be for them to overthrow their genocidal leaders, instead of buying into Tom and Jerry theories.
He is using the old New York Times trick. If you want to put out your own point of view, without flat-out saying it is your own personal point of view, you say something like, "Some would say..." or "Many people say..."
Not that this nut would particularly care to admit that it is his beleif, but by couching in these terms, he makes it appear that many others hold this same belief.
Old trick. This allows you to postulate the most far-out position as though it is widely believed. "Some would say..." indeed. 
If this doesn't convince anyone that the Nazi Germany playbook isn't being used in the Islamic World, I don't know what will. This is a very scary video. Julius Streicher would be thrilled.
These times are interesting in that we have the opportunity to do what the World failed to do in the 1930's. It is 1936 again. What do you do? Preempt World War II by preemptively deposing Hitler and destroy the Nazis, or refuse to stand up to evil until compelled to do so? It's interesting to consider that the same arguments that would have dissuaded the World to do after Hitler are being used today.

if we send to their universities some Mighty Mouse cartoons.
Thinking that Tom and Jerry was the gateway drug to Bugs Bunny. Actually it's funny to see this because cartoons like T&J and Bugs Bunny and many of the other old-line favorites have fallen out of favor because of their blatant violence and internal references that are racist, classist and homophobic. There will never be a cartoon character like "Foghorn Leghorn" again...not with his habit for calling smaller creatures "boy" with a Southern accent. And what about "The Road Runner?" Is the Roadrunner Jewish? He moves all over the place at hyperkinetic speed, kind of like the diaspora and the stupid Coyote (who considers himself to be a genius) is always trying to catch him but winds up blown up, burned up, running off of cliffs, flattened by huge boulders, etc., etc., and the Road Runner always emerges unscathed.
Instead we have new hit series like "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" and ... Ren and Stimpy. I'd like to see our professor friend here do a disquisition on whether Ren or Stimpy is the Dirty Jew.
just wow. its not just professors in America that are crackpots.
btw, isn't Tom and Jerry a Hanna-Barbera cartoon though? (unless they're Jewish too. if so, I guess I have no evidence against such a brilliant theory, alas).
