It is probably the best strategy in fighting against terrorist groups. Often terrorism will not end until there is a political solution that makes the terrorist groups cease operating and enter a political system. The Peace Agreement in Northern Ireland is a good example of this.<br /><br />Note: If executing people who are terrorists/guerillas/freedom fighters and their supporters is a lasting solution to conflict, the British flag would still fly over all of Ireland and not just the six counties of Northern Ireland that have a Protestan majority.David Allnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-62747592176706619302011-10-23T23:17:39.843+02:002011-10-23T23:17:39.843+02:00What we should do is go straight for the head(s) -...What we should do is go straight for the head(s) - in this case Hamas leadership, wherever they are. Terrorize them for a change, like americans do now with al-Qaeda. Not likely though, unless we'll have Kahane Chai as government, but then, as you point out, they'll terrorize us too!Pisanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18234909.post-29711537628703978692011-10-23T21:22:20.152+02:002011-10-23T21:22:20.152+02:00Yes Gilad Shalit is more important than all one th...Yes Gilad Shalit is more important than all one thousand of those criminals put together. As for punishing terrorists, that is always a problem. Imprisoning them may well result in this situation where they are swapped for hostages their comrades take. While executing terrorists creates matyrs whose bodies are dead but whose spirit inspires others to follow them. Killing terrorists outside the judiciary process, by death squads creates a situation where the authorities may well up being a greater menace than the terrorists they fight against.
