Hmmm. I wonder if that would be the most effective response...
Just look at how the attack on the World Trade Center (in some eyes, the seat of the "religion" of capitalism) pacified the United States.
If 4000 years of endless war in the Middle East have taught us nothing else, it is that more violence only leads to more violence. We're not dealing with a surly teen-ager here, who will go into his room and come out later to apologize to Mom and Dad for being such a jerk.
So let's suppose that some crazed president decides to follow your scheme. The memory of that act would burn with a passion that would make our remembrance of 9/11 look like an adult's memory of a childhood skinned knee. Basically, unless he plans to follow up by killing everybody on earth, it won't work. Someone, somewhere will begin plotting revenge. Millions will die.
