If you overlook violent solutions when looking at a problem, you're cheating yourself out of possible solutions based on some misguided notion that you can always exist in a peaceful state.

OKay, we bomb Afghanistan, I think anyone knew that was going to happen. If this sounds harsh, I'm sorry, but it's true, it was always going to happen.
But what would I like to know is what happens with the sleeper cells around the world in the U.S and Britain. Because they will remain loyal to their ideals.

In short you can't bomb an idea
