Bush was >just a slip of the tongue must think twice and be prepared for what's to >come. This article is one of the mad calls that prove that we need to be >prepared for the worst scenario." > >Koret said that the destruction of the World Trade Center complex and >the Pentagon are a "great danger", claiming it would become a >"precedent" for future outrages. > >"Within months or years, if not now, the fundamental Islamic states and >terror groups will have at their disposal nuclear weapons to complement >their existing stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons. As the >abomination in New York proves, they will not hesitate to use genocide >as a policy." > >Koret demanded "a new strategy of deterrence calculated to stop the >momentum of radical Islam that is threatening the free world. The >Islamic fanatics have declared jihad - [struggle] - against the West. An >appropriate and immediate response is imperative." > >"Next in line, if the Jihadists have their way, will be the White House, >the Statue of Liberty, the Golden Gate Bridge, Big Ben, the Eiffel >Tower, the Kremlin. All are at immediate risk, everyone knows it, and >the inspired followers of radical Islam have had their appetites >opened," claimed Koret. > >The West, says Koret, must find ways to deter the "Jihadist", that is >"by understanding and answering them in terms of their value system, not >ours. Will it do anyone any good to bomb the airport of Kabul, or the >military bases of the Taliban? Been there, done that. The concentrated >efforts of the Western World did not bring Saddam Hussein to his knees. >George Bush senior failed, and George Bush junior will be scorned at if >that is the main approach." > >Instead, Koret's suggestion is, "In Mecca there are two tall towers, >minarets that stand guard over a large black box that serves as the >object of worship for the faithful, the destination of their holy >pilgrimage. It is to this symbolic object to which all Moslems pray. > >"Americans, like Israelis, are distinguished among the nations in their >respect for innocent human life. We will not as a policy target >civilians, and if civilians are harmed as an unintended result of a >military action, they will be genuinely sorry. > >"But the Western World must first protect its own people, and that means >creating a deterrent policy that will make the next suicide bombers and >their masters think twice. Whether it is publicly announced or merely >communicated through quiet channels, the Jihadists must know with >absolute certainty that the next outrage against a Western target will >prompt an immediate and massive military strike against a prominent >symbol of Islam. > >"No one can doubt that the destruction of one or more of the sacred >symbols of Islam - even without harming a single civilian - would send >the Moslem world into an anti-Western frenzy." > >He added that the only solution is to attack Mecca, "The West must face >Mecca now, dealing directly with the threat that the cowards of Jihad >have forced us to confront, speaking to murderers in the only language >they understand." > >
