Maybe we need the Enola Gay back:

Sergeant Robert H. Shumard, Assistant Flight Engineer:

Robert Shumard assisted flight engineer Wyatt Duzenbury in keeping the Enola Gay running. In this 1960 interview, Shumard said he didn’t feel honored to do what they did, but he felt honored to be selected for the mission. And given the circumstances, he would do it again.

“Nobody actually wants to cause the destruction we caused,” he said. “But it was through a necessity rather than a wanton type of destruction. It was something that had to be done. As much as a man has gangrene in his leg, and they have to cut it off. It’s something that has to be done. It was a cancer in the world situation that had to be removed, that’s all.”

There’s a new cancer in the world…

And I can’t help but wonder… if we vaporized Mecca, would they worship the hole where the rock had been?

And one more for Muhammad’s bones, just to make our point.
