lorne: The issue is, "what constitutes an effective set of actions?" Terrorists need supporters, followers, and money. I would go after the money first, the supporters second and try not to increase the supply of followers in the process. Revenge, in the narrow sense of killing, won't work. It increases the number of followers without doing much to discourage the supporters or cutting off the money. Bin Laden is a CIA trained operative -- he needs alot of money to do what he does. Shut down "Bin Laden incorporated" -- every last cent -- and he can do far less. Then begin to shut down the finances of his supporters, every last cent -- and they will rethink their support. IMO, killing, if that is the primary action, only makes martyrs out of the dead. Feeding the cycle of hatred and death does not solve our problem or help us to obtain national security. Bin Laden is counting on us taking the path of killing and hatred -- that is what he needs us to do to help him win by creating a "holy war".
