In honor of Canada Day
Jul. 1st, 2006 09:58 pmI bring you the latest batshit nutty rantings from Canada's own Adam Yoshida:
It may not be a popular or politically correct thing to say – though I’ve never courted popularity or embraced political correctness – but the editors and reporters at the New York Times ought to go to be put to death for their crimes against this country.
But wait, it gets better...
In the long term, there is only one way to win a war: to physically destroy the capability of the enemy to wage war and, at the same time, to defeat and humiliate the enemy so thoroughly that it will be generations before they even think of challenging you again. That is how you win wars. Not through “precision” bombing and efforts to limit civilian casualties. While in many cases there is no reason to deliberately cause civilian casualties, efforts to avoid them typically end up being counter-productive in the long run.
[...]
Forget trials. Forget evidence. By mere fact of association, they’re all guilty. Anyone who serves with al-Qaeda or any other terrorist group in any way, shape, or form deserves to die – they’ve forfeited any right to life they may have had. Just kill them all.
How to do it? After all, shooting them might be difficult – it might lead to mass violence in the camps and, without a doubt, would be rather messy. Hangings or any other process of phased execution would, likewise, be problematic. Luckily, there’s an obvious solution: poison them.
It would be fairly easy – after all, the Americans have been feeding them for years. Few, if any, of them would have time to react once they realized what had happened and those who did – who refused to eat or proved resistant to the poison – could simply be shot.
Of course, there are other alternatives. One might be to make the whole thing an exercise in civic participation. If you held a lottery to give individuals a chance to execute a terrorist personally, I imagine there would be plenty of applicants. Personally, there are few things on this Earth that I would like more than to kill Omar Khadr, the Canadian-born Jihadist who treacherously killed an American medic with a grenade.
I think Brad R. sums it up nicely with this:
What makes this worse is that you know Adam was masturbating while he typed this.
*shudder*
Yes, sadly, I'd put money on that. Poor Adam, had he only been about 70 years earlier in Germany he'd have undoubtedly achieved a position of authority with which to carry out his own particular brand of sadistic, genocidal tendencies. Instead he's reduced to posting from his mom's basement between reruns of Star Trek the Original Series...
