We can all curse and shake our fists, but unfortunately our perfumed, white gloved Western culture is incapable of properly responding to the barbarians at its gates, except by instituting politically correct searches of little old ladies at airport checkpoints. Too far gone we are. too civilized, too naively persuaded of the noble nature of mankind and so on. Or maybe I'm all wrong.

You make some interesting points. A few months ago Fox News had on a terrorist expert (an Israeli) who was talking about how to defeat terrorists. He basically said you fight fire with fire. If they kill one of yours then you don't go after them immediately. You go after their family. You kill them and dump their bodies on said terrorists doorstep. Then you kill the terrorist. I have no idea if this would actually work. Just reporting what I heard.

And you are correct in saying that America, nor our allies, have the stomach to do that.

No - our leaders are, for now. But once a current of hatred gets started, it grows. And the evil ones who committed this murder are nurturing such a current.

Japan started with Pearl Harbor and the Bataan death march. They reaped Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I suspect it will (eventually) be the same again.

No you are correct, unfortunately. The only way to stop terror is with horror but we'll allow the socialists in this country and elsewhere to tie our hands while all of our collective heads are cut off.
