We're just about reached the point of admitting (publicly) that the enemy is Islamic fanatics. Everyone has known this for years, but PC is difficult to overcome in public pronouncements.
It will take quite a while longer to reach Step 2 and publicly admit that their motivation is religious, not political, not "hatred of our freedoms", etc.
Once we are willing to admit that religion is the underlying motivating factor, the achille's heel of Islam becomes obvious: Pork. Islamic fanatics believe that they are guaranteed paradise for their crimes unless they are "contaminated" by pork. It doesn't matter how silly it seems to us. The only thing that matters is what the would-be homicide bomber believes. Exploit that belief.
Admit this and the solution is both obvious nad surprisingly economical: Pigskin leather seats in all aircraft. Ham sandwiches provided on all airline flights. Bacon-sented room fresheners in public places. And of course, mnadatory pig contamination before execution of any captured terrorist. No need to torture for information either. Just contaminate and then refuse to allow ablution before confession. Again, exploit their beliefs and phobias, not what "makes sense" to the layman.
Brilliant!
