Perhaps it is really so that their "blowing things" functions. I'd say that
it is definitely so that if functions - for _limited periods of time_: the
problem is only that too many people - on both sides - were stating the same
like Robert or you already several millions of times, ever since 1929. So, I
guess, this "blowing things" doesn't function, and it could be so that
involved parties - as well as people like Robert - should meanwhile learn
from this fact, and try something else.

The problem is that when you kill a few terrorists, then follow the
advice of people who tell you to *not* kill terrorists, you just give
them a chance to train up a bit and plan their next run. The trick is
to keep going after the real bad guys, and not try to follow a "roadmap"
that the bad guys have bragged about not following.

Note, for example, the lack of direct attacks on targets on American
soil in the last year or so. Following the "violence begets" theory,
there should be *dozens* of bombs and such happening here, instead of
the, well, none.
