Get real, Eric. We have plenty of evidence of what happens when boys
with toys start talking about vaporizing terrorists. If, as they
are, the terrorists are like Maoist guerrillas, concealed in a
civilian population whose members are inclined to vendetta, every
new example of "collateral damage" recruits new members to their
cause. The Israelis have been trying to be civilized about it for
decades on the West Bank and in Gaza. The U.S. is now learning the
same lessons in Iraq. If you are even remotely serious about the
approach you recommend, you have to think Rome and Carthage, Genghiz
Khan or Tamerlane. There are now at least 1.6 billion Muslims in the
world. Killing them all? Yes, that's about half the world.
or like... um.. a quarter
