I understand your anger; I gave into anger myself two days ago. Fortunately, I grew up. Whoever did this, and whoever is harboring them knowingly, deserves swift justice. But only them.
You are calling for the elimination of millions of people based on their religion. Sound familiar? You mentioned a country that tried to do that and needed a "cultural change". Maybe that was different because it wasn't "us"?
There are over 25 million people in Afghanistan - a large percentage of them are women, who are not allowed to go to school, earn money or own property. They have no choice at all in their lives and will never have a choice. They have done nothing to you, or the US. Yet, you call for their deaths.
I want to see the people responsible receive justice as much as you. I do not want it at the expense of our nations soul.

Normally, I am one for respecting others religions, but I heard this retaliation mentioned,
and thought that it might work.
If this turns out to be the work of Muslim terrorists (it may not be, and we all need to keep that in mind.):
Take and occupy Mecca. Give all the Muslim countries 48 hours to turn over the terrorists; if they don't, remove every stone, bit of dirt, etc. from Mecca, cover the ground with pork products, ship the buildings to the US and rebuild as a pork processing plant.
