#1 Death has shown remarkable success in deterring second [or third, or fourth...] offenses.

#2 Remember when the tiger at the San Francisco zoo had enough of the pestering and taunting by the intoxicated young men? Well one of those young men was attacked by the tiger and is now pushing up daisies and no one blames the tiger. Disproportionate Force.

#4 Disproportionate force would be 1000 Caterpillar D-11s lined up blade-to-blade along the NE border, & rolling SW, pushing all before them into Egypt. At full speed, ~2 hours, but some structures might need to be hit at less than full speed. Since I don't believe there ARE 1000 D-11s, I guess they'd have to substitute some D-9s and put some blades on their Merkavas.

#5 The US responded with "disproportionate force" to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor -- thank God. The way to stop aggression is to defeat it, not to give it time to inflict more harm.

#6 The left wing is all about disproportionate.

Hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) of women in Islamdom suffer genital mutilation each year. Thousands suffer honor killings. Tepid response.

One woman gets denied back pay for a sexual harassment suit brought after the statutory deadline. Protests all over the place.
