If I may be permitted to quote from Mr. Peters, "Identify the type of terrorists you face, and know your enemy as well as you possibly can. Apocalyptic terrorists, no matter their rhetoric, seek your destruction and must be killed to the last man. The apt metaphor is cancer: you cannot hope for success if you only cut out part of the tumor. For the apocalyptic terrorist, evading your efforts can easily be turned into a public triumph. Our bloodiest successes will create far fewer terrorists and sympathizers than our failures."
The problem is that we as a people don't have the stomach for it. The Ted Kennedys Dick Turbins Nancy Pelosis and John Kerrys would never allow that to go unnoticed. What an opportunity to accuse us and this admin of atrocities, war crimes, crimes against humanity, everything short of passing gas in public.
