I'm not sure about that, John. These people are already dead. This obviously
didn't deter them from doing it. I'm certainly not making any accusation,
but think of all the suicide bombers in Palestine. Those people are
desperate. Even if you could retrieve those that, like president Bush said,
"harbored" terrorism, you would still facing a lot of others ready to take
the helm. It's like trying to eradicate ants. The more you kill them, the
more they seem to be coming back.
Just my $0.02. I'm obviously not in my usual mood right now, so maybe I'm
off...
