The method stopped terrorism cold in the Phillipines about 50 years ago.

I think it is the restriction on this method that is spreading terrorism nowadays.

It only is when you believe that you can fight back, let's face it.

And it is not in our bourgeois comfortable arm chairs making fun of others' methods that we are going to gear ourselves up courrageously against terror.

Many have no idea what it takes to wage warfare in earnest, because they're cowards and they do not belong.

Yup.

Cooper notes seven aspects to successful defense: alertness, decisiveness, aggressiveness, speed, coolness, ruthlessness and surprise. The USA is powerful because on the whole we've achieved six of those points. Our weakness is: ruthlessness. We are not committed to the holistic destruction of individual enemies. We can overwhelm enemy forces in combat, but when we have an individual enemy - wholly devoted to our destruction & seething with rage (not just the typical soldier/grunt) - in our grasp, we put him in Club Fed and snivel about what to do with this poor helpless little terrorist.
