>In this case, if what I expect to happen does indeed happen, we will relentlessly pursue each and every one of these people and take them out. Now, if I could have my way a single bullet inserted in their frontal lobe would suffice if this were doable without harming one other human being. I don't think that's rational or reasonable. So, we work towards that end and accept the collateral damage. Besides, how many people immediately around one of these terrorists is really an innocent unless they hide among innocents to use tham as shields? That only adds to the reason to take them out.

>Please do not confuse resolve with irrational behavior.

I agree completely!
