Yes, that means genocide.
An opinion poll organized by the press department at the Najah University in Nablus yesterday revealed that majority of the Palestinian people supported martyrdom operations against Zionist occupiers.
This is the same 'university' that gloats over the pizza parlor bombing (see post 17). I have no doubt Isreal must and will put its big foot down hard in the territories, but as soon as the inhabitants sense they are completely defeated militarily, there will suddenly emerge a lot of 'moderates' willing to make real peace. Their brand of viciousness is not based on deeply held principles, but on the the perception that they really are powerful, encouraged by their fanatical leaders and abetted by sypathetic world opinion. Get rid of these 'leaders' and I am betting we will find a very tractable population. The German people, and the Japanese too, became good friends with us once there cause was lost. The Italians hung Mussolini from his heals. This too will happen in the territories, and hopefully, in many other places.
Of course, if I am being over-optimistic, there are more stringent remedies.
Yes, that means genocide.
Genocide means murdering all of them: the deluded, the innocent, the friendly and the guilty. Not something the U.S. should do and if with the development of smart weaponry not something that is even necessary.
During the Cold War, Soviet cities were held hostage until during the Reagan administration, when the target list was changed (thanks to more precise warheads and clearer heads than McNamara's) to simply wipe out the Communist party, period (still remember the Time magazine comment that targeting some Communists was OK, but the whole party was simply unacceptable).
Using even better conventional weaponry, a related strategy can be implemented today. Start with the problem ruler and his party and work your way down to the local block chief and his informants.
