Quote:If you pursue this method, you will fight them forever. It is happening now, they grow in number as you diminish. As you say, easier to destroy than create, and you will end up being the destroyers until finally you are exhausted, and they will still hate you. What began as an irrational, fanatical minority would become the enraged majority, made hopeless and angry by ceaseless, senseless violence.Actually, there is evidence to the contrary. I think if competent measures were made to prevent terrorists from having mobility and safe harbor, that the strategy of eliminating or neutralizing them would work. It worked for the British in Malaysia.
