Is the way to deal with terrorists? At least it's effective: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2006/06/putins_license_to_kill.html
===================== Pretty much the same shining points as General Douglas MacAuthor; in war there is no substitute for victory Dont know if i spelled his name right, spell checker has problems with names also; he is a hero.
Sure it will work, but not on the suicidal, of course. And it won't work if it just makes the conflict a feud, ie. tit for tat. Still, it's probably not too much a waste of resources to spend at least some effort on hacking at the branches, as well as chopping at the root.
It's also interesting to read about different cultural values and also note how our country has changed...
