"Again, there is no serious alternative policy being proposed." Sorry, but Mr. Friedman's own words show his 3 points are insufficient as a serious alternative policy...... "And their home societies, in too many cases, have not stigmatized their acts as "shameful." In too many cases, their spiritual leaders have provided them with religious cover, and their local charities have provided them with money. That is why suicide bombing is spreading. We cannot change other societies and cultures on our own. But we also can't just do nothing in the face of this mounting threat." Yup, add one critical element to your list Mr. Friedman & it will be a workable policy; (1) Improve our intelligence to deter and capture terrorists before they act. (2) Learn to live with more risk, while maintaining our open society. (3) Most important, find ways to get the societies where these Islamists come from to deter them first. <font size=4> (4) While waiting years for the first three to have any effect, drain the swamp. <font size=3> siliconinvestor.com
