Should we respond with massive force against any country that threatens our destruction?

Question

Every time some nation or its leader says they will attack & destroy the US why don't we just pulverize them back to the stone age & put an end to it right then & there eg: Syria, Iran, No. Korea, Somalia , Yemen, etc.

Answer 1

Because we are politically correct. We have more, so it then becomes as though the smaller, less affluent nations, are like street gangs roaming in a rich liberal neighborhood. People go into shock, and feel that these darlings are misunderstood. In reality, a shotgun blast in the face, would straighten out a gangbanger, a similar strike against a petty tyrant would end that threat as well.

Answer 2

Well most of those countrys you mention ARE of the stone age already!..Political and religious mouth frothing is perfectly normal behavior!..Gamel Abdul Camel from Nutastan screams "Kill all Americans and slaughter the infidels!" And is overthrown in a coup next day and replaced Ali Ben Dover, who howls and wails away and says the same thing!..Its "strong man" syndrome they have to show their people that they are strong and have control, mind you they also slaughter a few thousand of their own people th demonstrate their strength..Their people accept this as perfectly normal behavior because its been that way for thousands of years anyway!..So why bother going 'bang' at them, its not going to stop anything!
