Mr. Tancredo's solution

How do you define extremism? Republican Congressman Tom Tancredo of Colorado said that if a terrorist attack were to occur in the US by Muslim extremists, then the US response should be to bomb Mecca. Okay, let us get this straight: Does that mean if an Irish Catholic radical group goes off the deep end and hurts Americans, then the US should level the Vatican?

Yes, we think Mr. Tancredo was suggesting exactly that.

Does Mr. Tancredo's country want to punish a small group of extremists by doing something so off-the-wall extreme that it would horribly kill millions of innocent people?

Is this the thinking ability of a US Congressman? I guess he needs some sort of training as a politician. If training doesn't work, he should receive medical treatment.
