#2 Nothing will change in the Muslim world until we show this bunch of rag-tag ragamuffin mullahs just how mean, evil, wicked, bad, nasty, cruel and heartless we can be. Striking a half-dozen targets in the Tribal Areas with a dozen B-52s each, fully armed with a mix of high explosives, napalm, and cluster munitions, would go a long way toward getting that message across. The United States will not succeed against "terrorism" until we can prove to the people living there that we can be more of a danger to them than the terrorists are.

Word, OP. Disproportionate retaliation is the only answer to terrorism.
Permit me to elaborate:

We can be more of a danger to them than the terrorists are to us.
