Yet another urban legend.
No evidence Pershing ever did that, and any schoolchild knows that there weren't '42 years without a Muslim extemist attack anywhere in the world.'
How gullible are people?

Whether Pershing did it or not I still think it's a good idea.

I don't think my feelings have anything to do with nationality, and I can aprreciate the feelings of the invaded. However, I believe that my bloodthirsthy view is the most viable and honest way forward and ultimately will cost less loss of life on all sides.
The people I have spoken with in Italy have very mixed feelings about Quatrocchi. All are sorry that it happened, all respect the courage with which he faced death and died but many point out that he was there for the money he was paid as a freelance guard which costs him a little sympathy.
I am still waiting for alternate approaches. Bear in mind that any weakness may lead to a jihad later. I believe a lesson needs to be given that Islamic or other terrorists will not dare to attack the west again.
