i think the problem is that you have to fight them at their level. these terrorists think its noble to die. yet deep down they are all cowards. the more you blow them up the more terrorist's will come out of the woodwork.

in order to win this fight you have to capture them, keep them alive, and give them a steady dose of torture. keep doing it and terrorism from these fanatics will die down. if you blow them up they become hero's.

political correctness and conventional war does not get it in this game.

This is one area where countries like the UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Belgium and now Spain will get hurt. They are getting hit in the pocketbook as these places are too dangerous to visit.

That was actually a joke. I was calling back to another Spain related thread from years back.

How wrong can you be?

UK tourism soars 20% as weak pound sterling makes Britain more attractive despite terror attacks

More people made trips to the UK between April and June than in any other quarter since records began in 1980
