Clearly, we just need to send the terrorists and dictators of the world flowers and chocolates and little notes where the "i"s are dotted with hearts. If we're just *EXTRA* nice to them, they'll realize that we can all just live in one happy world.

This is clearly the best course of action. All of you people wanting to coerce other people to stop killing innocents via the use or threat of force are barbaric cretins!!! LET'S JUST BE NICE!!! WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG???
