This is a policy of pre-emption because deterrence no longer works. Deterrence is based on the assumption that people are unwilling to die. Deterrence will not work when people have been so conditioned by a culture of hatred and religious fanaticism that they will commit suicide in order to kill innocent civilians. The only way to deal with this new phenomenon of suicide bombers, and make it clear this will not work, is to go after them before they get us. But this strategy of pre-emption against suicide and terrorism will have to replace a strategy of deterrence for the United States and for Israel.

This is why there will never be real peace there..When people hold life with no value..what is there to preserve than a principle? In this case an insane principle.

These are a primitive pagan people that sacrifice their children

I am glad to see a mainstream publication taking this position. Mayhap others will follow.

Compare the more healthy position of US News and World Report over the years with the liberal bias in Time Magazine. The latter has engaged in dummying down to correspondingly appeal to the growing ignorance of the American public.

This week's Time did an expose on the homocidal bombers, pictures of each along with the "why do they do it" crap. A federal prosecutor friend pointed this out to me. This friend also remarked that a great deal was being kept from the public as to how out of control our fight against homeland terrorism is, giving credence to what S. Emerson and Pipes have been railing about and the Oprahized ostriches in the media refuse to print. Due to "Ongoing investigations", my friend would say no more.
