See my post before this one regarding measuring the utility and results of the big stick versus our goal of stopping terrorist attacks on us and our allies. It reminds me of the Eisenhower doctrine of massive retaliation that proved useless when the groups it was supposed to deter showed no interest in the threat. A group of US-born Muslims could duplicate the London bombings in a major US city tomorrow with little effort and few hurdles to cross to achieve their aims if they chose.
