A TEST OF INTELLECT

Answering the question "how USA should respond if terrorists struck several U.S. cities with nuclear weapons", Colerado congerssman Tom Tancredo said:

: Well, what if you said something like -- if this happens in the United States, and we determine that it is the result of extremist, fundamentalist Muslims, you know, you could take out their holy sites.

: You're talking about bombing Mecca?

: Yeah.

That is the stupidest thing I have heard in recent times.

Now the question is can we understand our stupidity? This is a test of intellect, not of character.
