I'm totally aware of that, and that's basically what I'm saying. Is that not what happened in World War 2? We had no choice but to end things the way we did, it would never have stopped. The harshness of reality is that these situations exist, and we, as a nation who seeks to promote freedom and prosperity, along with our allies, are the ones who must be at the forefront of production and development of new and more powerful weapons, remaining ever vigilant so that these types of people know that they won't win. Even if they are willing to die themselves with a nuke strapped to their backs, running into a US or UK city, it won't happen if they know the cost will be the annihilation of their cause. It is that cause which gives them their pseudo-religious furvor, thats why they give their lives to it, they want to protect it with their lives, not destroy it. It is an endless game of checkmate, and we always have to have the upper hand. In this fashion, it will stay in checkmate, and we won't have to drop a bomb to take their last piece. With enough time, if we all remain vigilant, and allow no quarter to these types of people and acts of terrorism, they will become subjugated to the point that things will become easier. Never gone, but it will dissipate.
