See, it's the simple lessons we forget. But, you can't tell this to Europe. OBL knows they'd rather talk and negotiate a problem to death rather than get off their namby pamby asses and actually do something.

[/QB][/QUOTE]Oh dear Timber. History teaches us that you always have to negotiate with terrorists or their representatives eventually. Gerry Adams, Martin McGuinness, Menachem Begin, Nelson Mandela, Archbishop Makarios.

Can you give me an example of a case where terrorists have been beaten by might alone?

That doesn't mean you have to negotiate with Osama bin Laden of course.
