Sound like but with different motives and originating intentions. My motive is to eliminate a threat to global peace and security. My originating intention is their actions as terrorists and resolve to never quite until all of my friends and family are dead. See, there is a very big difference between them and me, or people like me. We don't "want" to kill them, as they do us, we "have" to kill them, because if we don't they will do everything they can to kill us. In addition they will pass on that attitude to others who might be gullible enough to believe them. As we thin their numbers, it is my hope that more people who are exposed to their rhetoric will understand that they are wrong and we are right.
The apparent growth of support for Hezbollah in Lebbonon since Isreal’s bombing campaign would suggest that either they didn’t “thin their numbers” enough or that the policy of bombing people into agreement doesn’t work.
The other suggestion by Lurker (see post 17) would seem to be carpet bombing the Middle East until there are no pockets of defiance. Given the financial cost of such a campaign it would have to be done using nuclear weapons and I doubt Israel would thank anyone for the subsequent radiation.
Judge that for yourself, but I remain unconvinced.
