Good point. IMO, the only thing that will change this calculus of death and self-destruction, is doubt about their mission, from:

A) peace talk from Mullahs
Little is forthcoming to any degree, perhaps due to fear of retribution

B) constant defeat in battle
INCLUDING DEFEATING THEIR ATTEMPTS HERE IN THE HOMELAND
the longer we hold out in relative safety, the less chance they have
The office of Homeland Defense is critical to our success on the battlefield
Funding for the office, and Tom Ridge needs to be replaced

C) lack of support from their benefactors
