No, I prefer a quota system with a magnatude increase per event... Here is how it works...
Country stages a 9/11 type event, 3,000 people die, we go over to their country and kill 30,000 male adults then promptly leave. Factor = 10x.
Country retailiates and stages another 9/11 event, kills 500 people. We go over there and kill 50,000 adult males then leave. Factor = 100X.
Country is dumb as hell and again decides to come over here and kill 700 more people. We go back and kill 700,000 adult males and again promptly leave. Factor = 1,000X.
Eventually they will either run out of adult males or they will be taken over by their hopefully smarter neighbors becasue they ran out of adult males to protect their country.
Each time you increase the retaliation factor by a magatude per event, 10x, 100X, 1,000X, 10,000X, 100,000X etc.... Until the other country runs out of adult males....
While i supported Bush at the time i thought i understood what Afghanistan and Iraq we’re all about. I was wrong. I believed that we went to Afghanistan to destroy the Taliban and hopefully catch Bin Laden, and Iraq to put a force powerful enough on Iran’s eastern and western border to surround them and contain them and foment insurrection and when the time was right invade and kill the ayatollahs. All of that was wishful thinking!!! It’s clear we have leaders in both parties who’s only concerns are personal and not the far reaching goals of a peaceful world. Ideas can be dangerous things, especially religious ideas that foment barbarous, murderous beliefs of moral superiority.
Ok, but why go to all that trouble? Why not just glass them the first time and be done with it?
