So your recommended course of action would be to hang around the
hive,
identify and separate out the few bees that actually did the
stinging,
and
relocate these bees for punishment?

Now you've taken the analogy too far.
I was simply pointing out that we are undertaking an impractical
response
with
our determination to militarily subdue any and all countries where a
terrorist
is reputed to live.

What would be your response? Would you wait until the next attack to
see
if
the terrorists really meant to harm us?

Spend some time reflecting on "The Troubles" in Ireland!
After considerable effort, it was learned that naked force was not the
correct answer.
The lessons learned *can* be applied to the middle east.

Get the stinking English out of Ireland!


Bertie,

Let's break this down slowly.

I asked you to consider how the lessons learned in Ireland can be applied
to the middle east.
Your reply was for the aggressor to leave the occupied lands.
Can I take this to mean that you think that the US and UK should pull out of
the middle east?
Lest we forget, the British are involved in both conflicts, and there *are*
questions of terrorism and domestic security in both cases.
