The first situation allows terrorism to exist. The second one goes to the root of the support of terrorism, and will soon exterminate it.
Nah ...disagree .. terriorism out here(middle east) is a family affair ...ok get that sorted now ...take it on board ..
You kill one , you are going to have 2 more in his footsteps ...it is considered the highest honour to die fighting us ........The palastinian mothers did not send thier kids out to throw stones at the israli soldiers to make sure the israli's got a bruise...it was to make sure the dead kids got picked up on our tv...more sympathy that way

But then you have the other method. The terrorist is hiding in a building. We drop a 5k pound bomb, and take out several city blocks. Several city blocks no longer exist for merely being near the guy.

No, the second one is terrorism.

And that is why YOU will never win a war.

Terrorism needs to be punished so heavily that the mere distance between you and the terrorist becomes dangerous. The terrorists are being paid thousands of dollars to kill themselves with promises of virgins in the afterlife. Sympathy and bagels will not win them over.

Pure violent retribution will show them the error of their ways. Or at least whipe their stock from the face of the earth.

Terrorism will become so unthinkable, when not only you will be punished for your actions, but your family, your friends, and even your dog, Fluffy.

Take a look at every war in the history of the world. Each time someone tried to approach it like a pansy wearing ballerina slippers, they lost. The same thing has happened to us since the Korean war. We haven't really won a war since WW2, the last time we waged Total War.

Because instead of hitting them hard, without relent and without mercy, we engage in the practice of 'apologetic aggression'. We treat them like friends who just need to see the light of day, instead of an enemy that needs to be pounded into unconditional submission, at whatever cost to them that is required.

As for becoming like them, whatever... War is war. War is terror. Those who engage in it should become realistic to the notion that there is no soft and humane way to carry it out. As of now, we haven't matched their willingness to kill us yet.

Like Laser said, if we'd treated them like we did the Japanese (who were no less fanatical during WWII), our results may have been different.

You cannot make peace with people who have no desire for peace. The ONLY reason there was peace after World War II is because Germany and Japan were completely destroyed and the people, at least the vast majority of them, wanted peace. And even then there were plenty among them who had no desire for peace, even if the only alternative was death.

Terrorism exists because there are those who have no desire for peace, even if the only alternative is death.

Not to sound like a broken record, but Hawkins, Sagan and co really nailed it. It's high time sapiens smelled the roses and got off this tiny speck of dirt. Unfortunately the majority of people want to complain about what's 'wrong with the world', but not commit the effort to fix it and take it all in stride in the mean time.

This is beginning to be a matter of different opinions on terrorism so, anyway, to get back on the topic, is there a video of this, i'd like to see the boom;)

A vacuum bomb? By Electrolux? Peddled door to door, or in vans festooned with balloons at low-rent street corners?
