I don't see "hunting them down and killing them" as either feasible or
effective. For every one you kill, there are 10,000 more waiting to take his place with greater fervor and comittment. Well, Lee, I understand that the POTENTIAL for terrorism will always be with us. That is a sad fact of life. However, I will argue that the reality of terrorism can be crushed to a large degree. Madrid is a wonderful case in point -- did you see the demonstrations today? Millions of Spaniards have now come to hate and despise the terrorists worse than ever before -- a reaction that is diametrically opposed to what the terrorists sought. When it becomes obvious that their barbaric tactics have accomplished precisely nothing -- AND they are picked off, one by one, and are jailed or dead -- then (and only then) will terrorism cease to be a significant threat. To think otherwise plays completely into the terrorist's hands. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination" |
