Is that enough?

We killed about 60 Vietnamese for every American in that
war, and it didn't stop them... it was just barely enough to
convince them to give us a little breathing room to declare
victory and go home.

In order to win very convincingly... convincingly enough
that none will dare attack us... I would be willing to kill
100:1 or more, but of course it only works if you kill the
right people. Invading a country that was not involved in
any way with the attacks is not going to accomplish much no
matter how many of it's people you kill.

I am opposed to torture no matter who does it to whom.
Torture is inherently evil. The act of torture corrupts the
torturer and I do not want my gov't involved in it. I also
find it extremely bizarre that an administration which calls
itself "conservative" and claims higher moral standards will
defend it's torturing of people it will not even identify or
bring charges against.
