Basically, what you're saying is that one armed person in a crowd of a hundred needs to be killed no matter what happens to the lives of the other 99? Give me a break, we're not living in the 1800's anymore, we want to STOP wars, not create them!
Tell that to the person on the recieving of the terrorist bullets/ gernades. The idea is have a very simple policy about terrorism/guerilla warfare/ lone kooks shooting shit up. They will be eliminated. No other changes will be made. No midnight house to house searchs, no pograms, no concentration camps, justa simple rule. You shoot at armed people you will die (remember this was in the context of terrorist attacks against military and harder targets). It is done _immediately_ if not sooner. Possibly it would have the side effect that people in a crowd would take down the guy next to them that was pulling the gun becasue they know what will happen if they don't. i Petro, Christopher C. petro@suba.com <prefered for any non-list stuff> snow@crash.suba.com
