#4 The problem with 'surgical' strikes or application of force is that they become in effect just another off shoot of primitive warfare. In modern parlance, PR wars. That is displays of force or dominance without serious and deep consequences for everyone involved. It is what leads to spiraling escalation by participants. Given that one side's only goal is the ultimate submission of the other, the other side can not assuage its need for self serving morality by seeking solutions other than the submission of the other opponent by any means available. It's either you or them. This man has already surrendered and he wants to take the rest of us with him.
