Who would you kill? Would you conduct a thorough and just investigation and target only those you knew to be guilty? If so, how?



Look at Japan as a result of world war 2, WE HELPED THEM! An Japan is prospering even today...
Yeah, they lost a hundred thousand innocents in the world's only nuclear strike, then they were occupied by soldiers who dramatically increased the nation's crime rate. They then wrote their own pacifist constitution and decided to refrain from armed conflict, for the benefit of their own people and future. Totally because of America, of course.
Well at least this is proof that Iraq has Al-Qaiada connections.
There are, of course, Al Qaeda operatives in Iraq; there may have been in the past, too - but that has nothing whatsoever to do with the country having "Al Qaeda connections". Event the US intelligence agencies knew there was no actual link between Hussein's regime and Al Qaeda terrorists. If mere presence equates to "connections", then we'd better get on with targetting Spain, France, the UK and the US - not to mention practically every Middle Eastern nation, since there are Al Qaeda operatives present in all of those locations, and more besides.[q=Shadow Nexus]The problem, Big D, is how do you desintegrate the whole group. It's very easy to say it, but every time you get one, two more join. It's like a cancer.

The ideal thing would be to find peace between our OBVIOUSLY SUPERIOR (:rolleyes2) culture and theirs. How to do that....uh... Habermas wrote a book about it, I think. I should read it.[/q]Yes, demolishing the entire network in a single action would be extremely difficult; it'd take a lot of intensive planning, and while it was being planned, there'd be no nice "victories for freedom" to splash across TV screens. A true settlement to hostilities would be good; however, the current 'batch' of terrorist groups are simply beyond reason. Addressing the idealogical and factual causes that promted their actions would be effective for the future, but it'd do nothing about the current fanatics and their determination to destroy. Negotiation cannot work with them; but localised and destructive wars won't do the job either. One of the only plausible solutions is to remove the threat, then change things to ensure that no-one feels a similar need to fight in the future.
