How To Kill a Starfish?

Ankesh,

Thanks for adding.

Ages ago I wrote that terrorists were like the Hydra Monster. Cut of a head and others grow back to replace it. The only way to kill it is physically kill the whole. To do that militarily is difficult (impossible). Which leaves Financial as the way.

how can we replace their faulty beliefs and ideologies?

We cannot. They have been brainwashed. ALL organized religions use brainwashing techniques. Islam - as practiced over there - users more of them and with more potency.

The only way to unbrainwash someone is to remove them from the brainwashing and not allow re-exposure. But good luck on that one.

how can we dry their revenue sources?

We cannot. There is always a vested interest in having useful idiots to do your work. There is always someone sympathetic to the cause. And, when you have the United Nincompoops (U.N.) giving Millions of dollars a month to Palestine (much of it coming from America's Purse), then you're in a situation where you're funding them and fighting them.

Also, as has proven time and time and time again, the idea/notion of a Sanction to Coerce someone into your way, Never works. Those you want to coerce are uneffected while the ordinary people suffer. - Iraq, Zimbabwe, North Korea.

You need to understand their Value System to understand what you're really up against...

You're fighting someone who has no sense of Future Value, who thinks it glorious to die fighting infidels, who has scant value for life and who thinks the Attrition Method always wins in the end - and - who Twists a clobbering military slaughter followed by a troop withdrawal as their attrition system winning in the end and causing the withdrawal.

I'll be back later with some more...
