"boom-and-it-ends"

If people were better observers, they would realize: "boom-and-it-DOESN'T-end", would be more accurate.

Even if we were to assume that EVERY terrorist unfriendly
to us could be put in a (large) room and shot, it should be pretty obvious that such an event would (in itself) not be without its repercussions.

However, if the current process brings us closer to an understanding of what the real underlying issues are, and a better approach to that is found, then that would be positive...

Namaste!

Jim
