To ‘send a message’ you have to send it to the leaders.
Leaders are important. If they weren’t there would be no need for them. If you kill them, then someone else becomes the leader.
So.. you ‘send a message’ to the leaders.
I USED TO think you just kill them- chop off the head and the body dies.
But one of the most brilliant things I ever heard was from a VietNam vet who was asked what he would do to Moammar Khaddafi (when Reagan was president).
He said “Moamar should go to bed one night and find a grenade under his pillow, with the pin still in it, with a note that says ‘Moammar, please be reasonable- first warning’.”
That was brilliant. Reagan did almost that- he blew up his castle while he was sleeping in a tent on the front lawn . And we never heard a peep out of him again. Because they did not even see our planes coming.
That ‘sent a message’ to their leader- who kept his people in line- until dumbass hilLIARy and Oshitforbrains had him killed to let the muslim brotherhood take over Libya.
