The model for effectively dealing with terrorism was establish by the Soviet Union in Beirut back in the early 1980's.

At that time, Palestinians in Beirut were kidnapping foreigners and holding them for very long periods of time - years in some cases. The practice was commonplace. One day a group of Palestinians made the mistake of kidnapping a mid-level Soviet embassy employee. The Soviets quickly determined the identity of the kidnappers, kidnapped the leader of their group, detached his head and sent it to the kidnappers in a box,along with a note demanding that their diplomat be released forthwith. He was. Immediately thereafter the Soviets killed every kidnapper, and every living relative of every kidnapper. Although the kidnappings in Beirut continued for a number of years, no Soviet citizen was ever again bothered.

...and so it should be today.

The only way to deal with savages is with savegery. The leaders of the civilized world should get together and issue our own "Fatwah", based on the Soviet model, that applies to any and all people who would committ an act of terror. On the day the Fatwah is issued, several thousand of the madrassas that preach savagery should be bombed out of existence, regardless of the colateral damage, and thousands of those radical imams who preach in the madrassas should be asassinated, again: regardless of the colateral damage. This slaughter will let them know that we are serious. After that, if someone committs an act of terror, they are identified and their entire family is slaughtered. Radical imams, just as a matter of course, would be asassinated on a regular basis.

Western civilization needs to get off our collective politically correct asses and face this beast before it is too late.
