Well as the number of suicide bomb attacks doesn’t seem to have decreased at all, I’d say that is a fairly good indication.tbaldwin said:How do you know what difference its made ? are you omnipotent ?.
Precision punishemnt is always best. But not always that easy is it.
A lot of Geramns were killed in WW2 who didnt support Hitler etc..
Passepartout said:Suicide bombers may not care for their own lives... but even they still love their families. If the first response to the suicide bombers' attack is to deport their families -- down to the most distant relatives -- the next confused, disaffected, easily-manipulated teenagers coming down the suicide bomber assembly line might give second thought to their ghoulish plans.
It's not fair, but it would work.

When you say "Precision punishment is always best" what do you mean and do you think deporting bombers families is a good idea and do you think it would work?
So are you saying that the number of bombing not going down doesn’t show it has had little or no effect?tbaldwin said:1 I wouldnt ive got no idea whether its worked to be honest,its purely guess work.
2 Well innocent people are always caught up in any major conflict. If we could arrange for Osama to fight it out alone with GWB it would be good but life is not like that.
I have no idea whether deporting their families would work.

I got banned for a "shit" thread recently, and this pile of shite is still rolling on through this board. Get rid.
I bet if we deported the 72 virgins from heaven they would stop! They'd be like "wooohooo, we are in heaven. Yeah baby, bring in the virgins. Uuuuuh, where is everyone?"Richard White said:72 virgins, I bet! These zionist screwballs will believe anything....

correct.Epicurus said:So are you saying that the number of bombing not going down doesn’t show it has had little or no effect?

Pigeon said:Possibly he did this experiment: "Has demolishing the homes of suicide bombers' families eradicated the phenomenon of suicide bombing?"![]()
tbaldwin said:correct.

Pigeon said:If you chucked petrol on a fire expecting to put it out, the fact that it accelerated the blaze would hardly demostrate your action to have "little or no effect", surely?![]()
tbaldwin said:Your logical thinking has got me baffled.
Pigeon said:By the way, I'm still waiting for you to enlighten me with your insights into the "fact" that suicide bombers do it for their dear old mums and dads....

tbaldwin said:Pigeon we all know pouring petrol on fires is not a great idea. But none of us really know for sure what would happen if the israelis or whoever didnt retaliate in the way they do.
People who are so sure of themselves are very very sad.
) by bulldozing entire fucking streets?The palestinian popn as a whole, phew..Pigeon said:You seriously don't know if it's likely the Palestinian population as whole gets pissed off by the Israeli army "retaliating" against Palestinian agression () by bulldozing entire fucking streets?
Richard White said:That is quite possibly the dumbest idea I've heard in ages. Why not deport everyone whilst we're at it?

But that isn't true is it. People can, and have, looked at what affect collective punishment has had in Israel.tbaldwin said:Pigeon we all know pouring petrol on fires is not a great idea.

Random said:Because numerous organisations, including Israeli human rights organisations, have shown how the politics of collective punishment have immiserated masses of people, allways with the reason of increasing security. Do you have any reason to say that the policies have worked? You seem pretty fond of shooting your mouth off without evidence, so please be less snappy when other peoplestate opinions that do have reasonable backing.
