See what we forget when we don't study history
Gen. "Black Jack" Pershing had the right idea back in 1911 or 1912. He captured 12 Muslim terrorists and made one watch while the other 11 were shot with bullets dipped in pork fat and blood and then buried with the hog carcasses. The remaining terrorist was released to spread the word. The MORO insurrection ended because the terrorists believed that such treatment would render them unclean and thus unable to enter paradise. Pershing effectively out-terrorized the terrorists. If you're going to fight a war, fight to WIN. If America's enemies want to use our system against us (think TSA), then we should certainly be willing to use their system against them, politically correct wishful thinking be DAMNED.
