You want a thousand more carbombs? Carpet-bomb Pakistan. It’s simply not a smart use of American force, and the blowback is tremendous. The bomb in Times Square is probably b/c some guys are pissed off about civilians killed in predator drone strikes. There will always be vengeful survivors and family, unless you plan on genocide.

I think the smarter answer is intelligence services and wet-work. Kill as many of the bad guys as you need to - just don’t make it so flippin’ obvious that it’s the US that did it. (They’ll blame us anyway, but they won’t have obvious proof.)

Nope, you are so wrong it isn't even funny. People do not become suicide bombers or even homicide bombers because someone in their family or friends got killed. People become terrorists because they get conditioned into it by their society. If what you said is true, then we should still be getting terrorized by the Germans and the Japanese, but we don't because they are, were, and will most likely continue to be, civilized societies.

The Taliban is a cult of death and ignorance of which the people of NW Pakistan are part of. The only reason they started this war (and it is a WAR they started and are continuing) was due to their cult of death. The only way to end it is to destroy it. Trying to take out a leader here or a leader there only creates more "martyrs" for their cause. Only when the cult has suffered so much that they lose their will to fight will there be peace.

Anyway, I find it a waste of time to banter with you, you seem to live in some weird fantasy realm not based on reality. And I still think you sound like a lib.
