This piddling around, going after small (non-combatant) fish, isn't going to stop terrorism, not by a long shot.

I do agree here. But you can't go and attack a nation until you have support for the action. I think no matter what they do people will complain.

I should say I agree to an extent. But how do you distinguish anymore? Women and children strapping bombs to themselves, with the blessing of the men and other leaders or at least with them condoning it?

We know that these nutcases won't stop at any self destructive action to make their point. If we say we won' shoot X kind of people, they WILL USE them as shields.
