God told me to do it

As long as the Muslims claim God told me to do it, or yell God is great as they kills thousands and themselves, there is no hope for man or woman kind.
Now, the leaders of Iran are threatening to blow up the world with nuclear weapons--and when they do, just before the second that no one any longer lives on this earth, they will no doubt yell "God is great" as everything disappears.
Of course some may say the Iranian leaders are not threatening to do that, but that must come. They are threatening everything else. They will have to reach that point, too.

Do you really need B-52s, F-16 to bomb mud huts? How about making a video game to do it!

Now and again I read reports of a B-52 flying over some mountain stronghold in Iraq or Afghanistan and then sending some very sophisticated (and EXPENSIVE) bomb to kill a half a dozen insurgents. Or, I hear of a F-16 swooping in to drop bombs or send in a laser guided something for similar reasons.
I have a better idea. Have Microsoft and Google team up to develop the ultimate war game for the best video game people in the US. Then give them the responsibilities for launching drones from bases in Iraq and Afghanistan (with the video game people working from their own computers in their own homes), finding the enemy and bombing or killing them. Heck, as much as some people like video games, you probably wouldn't even have to pay them. You'd probably have people paying to play the ultimate game!
Just give them a time (they'd probably have to reserve a time for all who'd want to play) they could "play," give them an area of responsibility, the weapons they'd need, and just think, they'd probably have all the insurgents taken care of in a few weeks. They'd probably have found Osama Ben Laden months ago. And, putting every vidoe game ace in the country on the project could probably be done for less money than one B-52 strike or certainly two or three.
In fact, the US probably wouldn't need all those air craft carriers over there--except to keep Iran straight. The drones could do whatever those planes flying from aircraft carriers do in Iraq or Afghanistan for pennies compared to what it cost to keep those big ships and all their sailors there.
Well, you could take this a long way--video game experts vs. B-52s. But, it certanly would make more sense than sending some huge expensive airplane to bomb a handful of idiots in mud huts. And, I'll bet those video game experts would be better than the B-52 crews!

Iraq and Vietnam? Like wars?

Yes, they are alike in the sense of the American involvement. In both cases, the purpose of the American involvement was/is to allow the people to form their own government. In both cases, there are/were people who do not want that at all. Rather they want/wanted to install their own views--and their ways of doing things that were/are the same: kill anyone who disagrees with them.
Bombs or ballot boxes? What will win in Iraq?
Only the Iraqis can really decide that, but it will probably take a lot more killings---all to the cry "God is Great"--before they ever get to that. All the current wave of hate and killing will really decide is who is left.
