Getting
Beyond
the Impasse
.
Obviously
what
is needed is a compromise to get beyond this impasse.
As
an alternative to
the present, defense-only position -- as a alternative to
expecting and waiting for the next disaster to happen,
suppose that
"any person who
openly vows to support or participate in the random killing
of people who do
not believe in his religion" simply forfeits his rights under Western law
and is, instead, treated by his own laws.
Here's a workable, functional
solution:
* The Goal is to raise the price of
terrorism to a level where the terrorists, themselves
decide to stop the killing. They will
stop killing when and only when the price has become so
high that they become unwilling to pay the price.
(See the page titled: Self
Interest.°)
* Suppose a separate organization was formed
composed of members from at least three
nations. For the purpose of this discussion,
we'll call this group ELCO
(ELimination COmmission) Forming
this outside group would allow the adamant no-deviation
believers to say, OK, we are not
breaking the rules. It also follows an historical
precedence set by Winston Churchill.`
* Suppose ELCO were given a ten-year
contract.
* Suppose ELCO's job was to eliminate
people who openly proposed violence in the name of
God. Suppose everyone on the ELCO
elimination list were offered an opportunity to
privately renounce violence, to stop publicly proposing
violence, and to stop supporting or associating with those who
proposed or conducted violent activities and thus be off
the list and safe from
elimination. Suppose those who violated
their renouncement or were found to be still supporting
or associating with those
who proposed or conducted violent activities were not
given a second chance.
* Suppose the activities of ELCO were
conducted with complete autonomy and were outside the
jurisdiction of any existing government agencies or
structures. Suppose ELCO set up several
several teams each with decentralized authority and each
freedom of movement enabling it's officers with
flexibility and with the authority to initiate actions as
in-the-moment situations and circumstances
warranted. Suppose the activities of ELCO teams
were conducted under the rules set up and used by the
terrorists, themselves -- no trials, no hearing, no
mercy, take no prisoners.
* Suppose the activities of ELCO
were focused on eliminating males who have exhibited
one or more of the following
characteristics: 1) Men known to be or
strongly suspected to be participants in or supporters of
terrorist plots, 2) Men who
have publicly proposed violence in the name of
God, 2) Men who have been known to be
participants in and/or supporters of religious
violence, 3) Men who have been seen
marching in the streets shouting support for
religious violence. 4) Men who
associate with or who follow the directions of men
who fit any of the above
categories.
One has to understand that males committed to Islamic
jihad are committed to murdering non-Muslims at every
opportunity and they will respond to absolutely nothing
except violence. One cannot reason with
them. They make no compromises.
They are completely driven by their beliefs about God --
beliefs which have been repeatedly and steadily programmed into
their minds since birth --
beliefs that are, daily, being reinforced by outspoken
Islamic jihad leaders.
* Suppose men who fit into the above
categories simply started disappearing. Suppose
every time there was a terrorist attack, fifty times as
many militant, violence-supporting,
jihad-supporting males disappear as the number of
people killed or injured in the attack.
Suppose the bodies were quietly disposed of.
Suppose that the mass-murder promoters were quietly
informed that violence against non-Muslims would simple
no longer be tolerated and the price of violence
would be measured in terms of militant,
violence-supporting males disappearing in
ever-increasing numbers.
* Suppose the word went out that all the
terrorism supporters who disappeared were killed and buried
wrapped in pigskin. (See the section on Pig
Soup.)
* Suppose that the mass-murder promoters were also
informed that they, too, would would get the pig soup
treatment and disappear at the first
opportunity. Airplanes
might disappeared over open ocean.
Diplomatic immunity would cease to be a fool-proof,
protective shield. Outspoken
people might have unfortunate accidents or simply
disappear never to be heard from again. Et
cetera. Et cetera.
It doesn't take a great deal of imagination to create
enough fatalities and disappearances to get the
attention of those promoting murder in the name of
God. Suppose these leaders were told quietly
and in no uncertain terms that the price of another mass
murder or other destructive or disruptive activity
would stager their imagination. Suppose the media
outlets that promote violence were told to stop
promoting violence or face the pig soup consequence.
* Regarding suicide bombers who actually
blew themselves up, suppose the bomber's seven closest male
relatives between the ages of sixteen and sixty were
added to the elimination list and eliminated at the
earliest opportunity. These men would NOT be
given an option to get off the list. Their
suicide bomber relative sentenced them to death.
Period!
* Suppose
all members of ELCO were immune from prosecution for
any and all activities carried out as part of the
ELCO group. Suppose members of ELCO
could be removed from ELCO by those running ELCO if their
activities were found to be too excessive. For
those so-removed, their immunity from prosecution
would remained in tact. They would simple
be removed.
* Suppose
ELCO had access to all the presently-available
information-gathering
sources.
* Suppose
that when ELCO called for military back up, such as
in the example A
lesson in Absurdity°,
1) Authority and responsibility was completely and
totally shifted
to ELCO,
2) The action was
immediately implemented without the need for further
authority or approval, and
3) All participants in
the action were under ELCO immunity for the action.
* Suppose
when ELCO functioned in nations that would allow
ELCO activity within their boarders, that the
officials of those governments either offered vital information or simply
stepped out of the way. Suppose a
special ID were used by ELCO and the police were
instructed not to interfere with their activities.
* Suppose all those who publicly
opposed the implementation of ELCO were asked if
they believed in "the rapture."
Why? Because if they are expecting the world to
end any day now, they are not going to care about what
the terrorist do. They may even be secret
supporters of death and destruction because they believe
that's how
God is going to end the world and bring them safely to
heaven.

terrorism, see paragraphs (8-1, 8-2, 8-3) relating
to: The
Rapture.
