Fantasizing about killing mass-murderers is 'inappropriate?'
@#$%ing Talibanish thought-police...
Let's see... Rambo, Chuck Norris's character from "Invasion USA", Arnie's character in "Commando" and Charles Bronson's character in "Death Wish."
The Predators would have a field day in rough terrain filled with armed loonies.
The Chestburster Aliens would have no moral qualms about targeting civilians.
Godzilla would be bored in about half an hour.
Jason Voorhies and Freddy Krueger could provide them with many fun-filled nights.
Hulk Smash!

You really want to piss them off? Here's how.
Special Forces wipes out the camps. A few days, later, we send photos taken of the impromptu burial procedures performed to various Islamic fundamentalist groups with a small note which effectively states, "This could be you."
The series of photos depict the Special Forces team members sliding a slice of ham or bacon into the mouths of each corpse before interrment.
Of course, this would piss of the at-home Muslim population to no end....or would it?

Well, realisticly, it would instantly polarize the whole of the Muslim world against the United States, rather than a relatively small group of extremists. A full scale religious war is likely to result, the outcome of which could be a new dark age, following the destruction of modern institutions such as "liberal democracy" and "personal freedom". Some knowledge from the so-called Golden Age might survive in hardened storage formats.
But I didn't get the impression that this was supposed to be a realistic thread, so my vote is the Borg.

Yes. It would also piss off pretty much any person who isn't sick.
-------------------- Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Look, I'm all for a thread about what realistic military measures should be taken.
But somehow, using fictional creations to create a "dream team" to wipe these people out seems ... well, sorry ... innappropriate. Espcially since they don't exist.
And I don't see why anyone didn't say, "The Defiant should go into orbit and obliterate whatever country harbored the fuckers!"
Head Terrorist Killer Dude: Billy from the X-Files finale. No emotion, no worries, no muss, no fuss. Just a lot of dead terrorists, efficiently eliminated.
Assistant #1: Fireball from The Running Man. Yeah, he didn't do a whole lot to Arnold, but I've got faith in him. Gas him up again and send him into a terrorist camp. Let those bastards feel their flesh singe off.
Assistant #2: Charles Manson, because its only proper that a bunch of sick, baby killing pigs certain of their own self-righteousness be terminated by one of theirown.
Assistant #3: Farmer John, so he can do what Shik suggested. Hey, don't laugh, he has his own pig slaughterhouse! He comes cheap!
Assistant #4: Jeffrey Daumer. Why? Once we jumpstart his ashes, he's lean, mean, and HUNGRY!
I'll think of more in due course. Am I a sicko? Yes, most likely. But, I'm a sicko enraged by the acts of cowards. And yes, I do want them dead. Dead, dead, dead. And their goats. And their falafel. And do you know what? I make no apologies about it.

That's not sick. That's just weird.

Susan Ivanova... just for her "GOD sent me!" speech.
The Punisher, Deadpool, Sabretooth, and Wolverine.
Ah, Emma Frost, the White Queen... just because it'd be a WOMAN boiling their brainstems.

You want a Star Trek solution, well here's one:
Voyager exits the Borg Transwarp conduit to end up on Sept. 14, 2001 and they find out that it was a few days after the WTC bombing. Janeway in her infinate goodness has Seven deploy chroniton particles so the ship could go back the day of the tragedy. When it happens, the ship goes on high orbit and locates the first jetliner about to hit the tower, so Janeway beams everyone off and blows it up. The passengers are beamed to LAX and hijackers are beamed directly onto the White House lawn where they are shot. Voyager repeats this with all four planes and then breaks orbit to head for Mars.
Would that be more plausable than the other things posted here?

On what level is anyone finding this thread appropriate? I have no problems with using humour to lighten a grim situation, but this is just, well, offensive.

Don't tell me you've never pretended you were smacking somebody around while engaged in some strenuous activity, or vented anger by hitting something you couldn't hurt. This is identical. More, it's no more offensive than playing one of those 'anti-terrorist' or '007' video games and feeling the slightest bit of satisfaction when you blow the baddies up.
Except that we're using words and imagination, rather than virtual guns and knives, which is better for your mental faculties.
