You ask a lot of questions....do you have any answers?
How are targets of terrorist attacks - to defeat their attackers?
I would be interested to hear your opinion on this problem...
My own personal opinion - is that terrorism can only be defeated by making the cost too high... Terrorize the terrorist... Make it too painful to continue.. Defeat them.
Terrorists that "hide" within the civilian community, are hypocrites to complain when "innocents" are killed in the process of getting to the terrorists....
There has been no war in history -- where "innocent" civilians were spared.... civilians are always slaughtered in large numbers.....
That is why the "innocent civilians" should take greater care and action against the lunatics they permit to operate in their neighborhoods... If they permit them, they are part of the problem..
One should never choose violence to resolve disagreements or impose one's will upon another -- unless one is prepared to receive violent unrestrained responses.
