This is essential but even better would be taking prisoners and extracting every last bit of information about where othewrs were before disposing of them. It is certainly more difficult but there are some very interesting new toys that could facilitate this.
Prisoners yeild intel. Intel will be what wins this part of the war.
The terrorists/government sponsors will, however, react and we will still have the weeping Arab women pictures shown around the Arab Street. Psy-ops will also be very important. We need to make these people seem to be anti-Muslim.
Also useful will be taking a prisoner and releasing that prisoner after a couple days in good shape with extra cash. Then we get the people that hunted that prisoner down because they thought him a traitor.
I still think it will escalate but in the interim this is a strategy that may prevent that.,P>Stay well - Stay safe - Stay armed - Yorktown
