Nothing like a little escalation to keep them in their place... eh?
Clearly nothing I could say would ever change your mind that peace can be had from the end your gun. Clearly you would stand on your wall and shoot anyone who might cross you rather than change their minds about why they were angry with you in the first place.
On the contrary I think, as the editorial suggests, we need to be doing more than *just* killing people. We need to offer an alternative to what they already (rightly or wrongly) believe about us. Killing, en masse, those who would oppose us is *not* going to change any opinions. In the end, all that does is throw the tools of terror (the threat of death) back in their faces.
Short term solutions are not the answer. Never are.
