It must be solved diplomatically simply because there
is an endless supply of willing to die terrorists and you can never
shoot them all!


I know I shouldn't ask this, but...

Why not?

Hell, if people had thought like you during the 1940s, we'd have never
beaten the Japanese. After all, they had an "endless supply" of kamikaze
pilots (** Note: Necessary aviation content **) willing to die for their
cause, and they were EVERYWHERE in the Pacific.

I guess we should have capitulated at that point, and just let them keep
China and the Philippines, eh? No sense in fighting a concept like that...

It's like George Patton said: "Your duty is not to die for your country.
Your duty is to make the OTHER dumb sumbitch die for HIS country..."
Substitute "religion" or "culture" for "country" -- and you can pretty well
sum up our war on terrorism.

Personally, it's not one I care to lose.
