The Taleban leaders are doubtless very worried. Let's not pretend, though, that killing the Taleban leaders, or getting rid of the Taleban altogether, is going to eliminate terrorism.
Weaponry, of course, must be used. My preferred weapon in this conflict is a nondescript, untraceable, short-barreled revolver of modest caliber. My preferred deployment is in the hands of an unmemorable looking individual, who walks up behind an identified target on a busy street places the chosen weapon one inch from the back of the target's head, fires one shot, drops the gun, and fades back into the crowd.
A few hundred such deployments will do more to stop terrorism than all the cruise missiles in our arsenal. |
