After years of bloody battle on multiple fronts, thousands of military deaths, many thousands of civilian deaths, and almost countless horrible injuries, Rep. Tom Tancredo (R, Colodaro) has determined how the bring the War on Terror to an end.

Speaking Friday on WFLA-AM in Orlando, Representative Tancredo called for the destruction of Muslim Holy sites in the event that the U.S. was subjected to a nuclear attack by Islamic Extremists.

Sissy Democrats and Liberals have agued that these kind of unbelievably ignorant comments only cause more difficulties with already difficult relations between the U.S. and Muslims around the world and that purposeful destruction of Muslim holy sites would destroy relations and likely not only bolster the Extremist Muslims, but lead to a sharp increase in recruiting as moderate Muslims become insensed and join directly with the extremists lead to an all-out holy war.

Proving that sissy Democrats and Liberals don't know what they are talking about, Extremist Muslims responded to Tancredo's comments by saying that the destruction of their holiest sites would indeed dissuade them from any further violence. Moderate Muslims around the world suggested that such destruction would be understandable and that they would just have to find new holy places or, more likely, just convert to Christianity since its holy sites were still intact.

Let me start off by saying that I don't mean to diminish the tragedy of the London bombings in any way. It was a horrible crime perpertated by heinous and ignorant people that believe violence can solve problems.

The AP (via Yahoo) reports that the death toll from the London Bombings has risen to 52 dead. Indisputably a horrible thing. The British are our longtime allies and these were innocent civilians murdered by violent terrorists.

The Washington Post's Foreign Service (again, via Yahoo) reports that violence in Iraq on Sunday has left 45 dead. Also a horrible thing. The Iraqis are also our allies and these were also inncoent civilians who were also murdered by violent terrorists.

So, the question is, why does the American media not devote bottom-of-the-screen, miniute-by-minute ticker tape coverage of the aftermath of the *daily* bombings in Iraq? Why are we not asking about the loved ones in Iraq with missing and murdered family members? Why don't we see stories on the Iraqis returning to work after the terror? Why no Lessons From Baghdad in Time Magazine?
