well if you had shot them all then they would not be a problem. I know it's
harsh and it sucks and you know what, life sucks in a lot of ways.
The problem with taking the high road all the time is that you are up there
for everyone to shoot at.
Just think how much power the IRA would have if in the beginning GB had
killed hundreds for even being suspected... I know I'd be very leery to join
up. And just think how many terrorists cells will be less likely to mess
with the US if we take them and the country harboring them out. How many
countries are likely to continue harboring these fiends?
The saying is "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction",
not "For every action we will take the high road and be better people" while
our friends and family are killed at will by people who don't really care
if they are sinking to a lower level.

I don't think you understand. GB did try and put away all the terrorists at
the start by introducing emergency powers and internment. They basically
went out and imprisoned hundreds of people without trial.
Guess what happened?
A some of those folks weren't terrorists at all
B Because of A, it just galvanised the nationalist community and people
joined the IRA in droves.
That sort of solution isn't fighting fire with fire, it's poring gas on the
fire.
Good job the GB didn't just round em into a field and shoot them. God knows
what would have happened then.

No they're the reason that something like this happens so infrquently here
and the rest of the world is terrorized so often. You think our airports
became unsecure in the last few months. This could have happenned at any
time for years now, but no one has been organized or gutsy enough to pull it
off, now they have and the US needs to make it clear to the world that we
won't put up with it the way GB puts up with the IRA. If you hunted down the
IRA and got done with the whole thing you wouldn't have to be afraid of
bombs each day going off. Clearly the ignore it and it will go away approach
is not the right one.

Jeez, listen to yourself? Your opinion(s) are why acts like these are aimed
at the US! Do we in GB decide to carpet bomb Ireland after the IRA or its
breakaway groups explose a bomb in London or in the UK?
