I don't fully agree. No more terrorists=no more terrorist acts. Somehow, these
fanatics need to understand 'Don't mess with us, or we'll take you down
permanently'. Right now, we're a laughing stock in Iraq because Saddam is still
doing as he pleases. Is this fair or right? Nope. Think about the last time he
stepped out of line. Some amount of violence is needed to keep the fanatics of
the world in check.
