Sure, we have a real big hammer. And lots of resources. And like I said in an earlier post, with all our resources, we can't seem to stop this problem. Or even anticipate it.
<br>
<br>The reality is that we are dealing with a fanatic society, not individual fanatics. We liked to got our butts kicked in WWII by the Japanese Kamikazis (fanatics). Lucky for us, when we applied the big hammer, they didn't have the ability to respond, nor were they quite as fanatical, I think, as the Islamic guys are.
<br>
<br>We are now seeing that the Arab nations will stick together when it comes to it. (Surprise.) Collectively, that means they're a lot bigger than Japan.
<br>
<br>And don't forget that Pakistan has nukes and we damn well know it. But I'm more afraid of the nukes out there that we don't know about. And believe, there's a whole lot out there we don't know. If that wasn't so, there'd be a couple more skyscrapers in New York and a whole lot of folks wouldn't be grieving.
<br>
<br>But back to my original point. I just happen to believe that we are embarking on a course that will do nothing but win us less and less support (watch the news, you know that's happening right now). And I really don't give a damn for what the world thinks.
<br>
<br>My point is that I just do not believe these bombings are working nor are they going to work. All the shelling is doing is developing a culture of hatred amongst people who might have been impartial, or at least so oppressed by the government they would have revolted on their own. There's an opportunity for antiterrorism, huh? Don't for a moment believe the propaganda about how accurate the bombs are. In WWII they were saying the same thing, and my mother is eyewitness to the fact that it's just not true. They're better now, but the blasts are not confined, are they? Don't you people realise that these camps are next to residences? Hello?
<br>
<br>You have to get to the terrorists in the same way they operate on us. From the inside. Again, I say, learn from Israel, they're the best.... they've maintained in the face of horrendous odds... with far fewer resources than we have to bear on the situation.
<br>
<br>Be sneaky. It works for flies. The newest, most effective 'insecticides' are pheromones to trap them, and releases of sterile females, you get the analogy....
