Just be aware that reps tend to be plated very thinly and the gold will quickly wear and become damaged. Gold reps are not suitable for daily wear.

I feel for the Syrian people, I truly do. However, the mid-east does not welcome western interference. Why are the Saudi's doing nothing?

So, based on what you know and what we don't know, what's the answer to this mess? Stay the course? If you can't beat 'em, join 'em?

Ken --- It's pretty clear you aren't taking the time to actually read and understand what most of us are saying. Very few posts have advocated nuking or carpet bombing anyone.....

I stand by my comments...... Western Europeans and North Americans will NEVER win this fight by target bombing ISIS, Al Qaeda or whatever the next terrorist group will call themselves. They are all Muslim extremists at this point. In my view, silence is acceptance. If those billions of peace loving Muslims fail to act against the extremist factions, this "war" will go on for centuries, or until someone loses their mind and pushes "the button". "Aariz" who lives next door may not be the answer, but the leadership of the Muslim faith most certainly would be.

The world has changed a lot since 2005........ Not sure of your point and how it relates to the world TODAY.

If 98% of the world's 1.5 billion Muslims are truly peace loving, only they can take back control of their religion and eradicate the extremists. We (all non-Muslim countries) need to exit the middle east and determine what to do to protect Israel, even if it means relocating the entire country. Just remember though...... 2% of 1.5 billion is still 30 million! Hopefully, that 2% is very much exaggerated.....

What do the terrorist organizations want? That will determine the strategy to defeat them. Are they after world domination? Or, are they wanting the rest of the world to get out of the middle-east and leave them to themselves? While I'm no middle east expert by any means, I'm guessing the latter is the right answer. My solution would be clear and to the point....... Pull out of the region completely. Make it crystal clear that once we are out, if we are attacked, the country where attack originates from will be obliterated within 3 days. Then we need to be ready to do it. Then make it crystal clear that a second attack will result in the obliteration of Mecca. And, we need to be ready to do it. The threat against Mecca will get the attention of the entire Muslim world, especially the Saudis. They will reel in the terrorists in short order, once they know the rest of the world is serious and has had enough. Unfortunately, this kind of response is the only one that extremists understand. Negotiation is not part of their cultural make-up. Now, will any of that ever happen? IMO, NEVER........... Correct in that all Muslims are not terrorists. However, virtually all terrorists are Muslims. The rest of the world is not going to put a stop to this mess we are in. Muslims themselves, need to rise up against the terrorist organizations and squash them, themselves. A number of Parisian Muslims spoke out against the attacks in France over the past few days, but that's not enough. They need to rise up and take back control of their religion. The rest of the world cannot do it without massive attacks that no one has the stomach for.

War is ugly and winning a war requires more ugliness than most people can imagine. With the instant media coverage of every event in today's world, the general public will be privy to the reality of war and that's why nobody has the balls to make it happen. Every time a single bomb drops, we see video of bleeding women and children on the internet, 6:00 news, Youtube, CNN, etc., etc., etc....... WWII had both sides carpet bombing entire cities and towns. The general public was never allowed to see the results of that effort on the civilian population of those areas. The collateral damage and casualties were most certainly enormous, but in the end it was either them or us and the military did what had to be done to win the war. The nuclear attacks on Japan that ended WWII were as horrific as it gets. Once photos of the results were shown, it quickly became apparent just how horrific. However, at that time the Japanese were ready to fight on for years and to the death. In the end, the decision likely saved many millions of lives and casualties, but that still was the beginning of the end of warfare as we knew it. These radical extremists have the advantage, in that they have no problem with collateral damage. In fact they encourage it as a way to get attention! They also know that by living among innocent civilians, they are effectively shielding themselves from harm in today's world. I'm not sure it would ever be possible to totally black out the media from the details of war, but that is the only way for the military to be effective, without causing an uproar around the world.

Fresh from the post office via a MTM deal! Not sure I can pull this one off. Will give it a few days. Comfy on the wrist though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
