Should we temporarily suspend our notions of decency and human sanctity to deal with them at their level?
If we wish to survive where other great societies failed, then yes, we'd better do what it takes.
I'm not convinced that dropping a nuke is necessary yet. Though we'd be well advised to fight fire with fire in the event that a despotic regime begins to gain nukes regardless of the ability to deliver.

Yep.
We'd better prepare for it to get a LOT uglier, because it IS going to do so.
All of this current "cease fire" business in Israel and Lebanon is nothing more than a convenient "time out" to allow Hezhollah to regroup and re-arm. I can't believe Israel's leadership and military fell for it and agreed to it.
And don't fool yourself... WE are not far below the Israelis on Hezbollah's list of "infidels to kill".
This IS a matter of "survival of the fittest", and we'd BETTER prepare to play by THEIR brutal, show-no-mercy rules... because our enemy has shown beyond any doubt that they certainly are NOT going to play by ours.
