Drop a couple of small Nukes if we have to. Are you seriously suggesting that launching a nuclear attack on a neutral country where it is possible that some citizens might have been involved in planning these atrocities would be a good idea? Would make things better? Would stop the (obviously large) organisation now within the US? Would stop the terrorists from gaining a few million new recruits? Would make you less of a target? Would be even remotely justifiable? And the deaths of the unrelated tens of thousands would be... what was that phrase? Collateral damage? BTW, the IRA gets (or used to get) substantial funds, backing and even munitions from the US. Care to apply the same logic here? The only way to stop terrorism is to look at the demands - on both sides: see what the terrorists want, and why they're prepared to fight and die for it: and try and reach a compromise that will satisfy the majority of their backing, but not at the expense of too many others... Well, I suppose genocide - the extermination of a complete race and all its sympathisers - might work as an alternative. As a 'Final Solution', so to speak. That's not the path for me.
