Ya know I've been advocating that for quite some time. Exactly the idea. Publish a list of cities and towns, and, say, next terrorist attack, one of those on the list goes up in smoke. At random. The bigger the attack, the bigger the city. Call it 'proportional'. After the first one or two, they'd probably figure out we mean business and it'd all be over.
"Publish a list of cities and towns, and, say, next terrorist attack, one of those on the list goes up in smoke."
Exactly....and we should start with Tehran. You're absolutely right. Time to play hard ball.
