But that was decades ago. The Israeli terror problem is worse now than it was then. So? It was effective AT THAT TIME, and sent the message that if you committed a terrorist act (which they were doing BEFORE the Israelis started hunting them down), they would face the ultimate price and live their lives forever having to look over their shoulders and NEVER have a peaceful moment. One MUST target those powerful political figures who incite their people into carrying out acts of terror on their behald. Arafat is MORE than willing to have the Palestinians die for HIM and his cause, but certainly not willing to sacrifice his own children for such a purpose. I would apply the example of Khaddafi, were US attacks took the life of his son. We hardly heard a whimper out of him for years after than and it broke the back of his prestige amongst Arab terrorists. Do the same for some of Al Quaida's terrorist leadership, and I think we'd see a more moderate view. These "powerful" leaders believe they are "untouchable", and that is a myth that must be destroyed. And I hardly see the European model as appropriate. They essentially sign a pact with the devil in exchange for not interrupting the growth of Muslim terrorist networks on their territory. And now they have to watch what they say in order to avoid being targeted themselves. Hawk
