Two symptoms of the same disease. Two tumors of the same cancer. The theory was, that if you show you're serious about shutting down bad guys, only the first couple of dominoes need to be pushed and then the rest will fall.
If your kids gets bitten by a scorpion in the backyard, do you go find that single scorpion that bit the kid, or do you hire an exterminator and make the yard inhospitable for scorpions?
The theory was a good one. The problem was in not following the Powell Doctrine.
