I think it’s time we dispense with this fiction:

I think that [Drum’s] reference to “casual genocide” as the preferred strategy of pro-war people is pretty clear, and pretty absurd. Yeah, you see that kind of thing in blog comments sometime, but I think most people support current U.S. military efforts because they fear that ignoring the problem is likely to produce more death and violence over the long term, not less.

In the wake of J-Pod’s suggestion that we just didn’t kill enough Sunni men to intimidate the rest, and Rush Limbaugh’s Bin Laden-esque justification of the slaughter of civilians, we’re way past the point at which exterminationist sentiment could be blamed on a few commenters. With the twin disasters of Iraq and Lebanon and the deterioration of the situation in Afghanistan, “Exterminate the Brutes” seems like the only thing the 101st Fighting Keyboarders have left.

Also read Dan on why a “kill ’em all” strategy is likely to fail today, assuming that it could ever be relied upon.
