It's like when you tell a kid not to eat the rine of a watermellon. You tell them it tastes bad but they bite it anyway because they have to taste it first hand. They take a bite and spit it out.
The pali state question is the same. They think it is very sweet but they won't believe it until they take a bite.
If we never let them take a bite they will always think it is sweet and the bombing will never stop! No, getting tough and killing the so called terrorists will never end the bombings because they produce them like clones.
They have to take a bite of the rine and taste it first hand !
