BOUNTIES ON TERRORISTS

This has been a few days of extreme violence in Iraq, which was to be expected and it has given me an idea which I believe we should institute with extreme prejudice immediately. My idea is to expand the program of rewards by putting bounties on the heads of all of the insurgents, terrorists, whoever, not just Osama bin Laden.
We should make it the policy of America that we will pay for the head of a terrorist and I do mean the head, not just dead or alive, but however a person chooses to bring them in. We must make it as dangerous for the terrorists to walk the streets of Iraq as it is for the average citizens of that brave and besieged country. We must track these bastards down and kill every last man of them, so that they will never touch the hair of another innocent person again.
In fact, we must not only bounty these terrorists in Iraq, but in all parts of the world where terrorists are brazenly open about who and what they are. This is such a simple plan that it will work. I know that some tragic mistakes might be made, but overall I believe that putting terror on terrorists is a great idea and long overdue.
I can already hear the bleeding hearts who may get us all killed, saying we cannot to this type of activity because it makes us as bad as the terrorists. Oh well, for awhile it may seem a bit blood thirsty, but as they say "you have to break a few eggs to make an omelet".
On the plus side the Israelis and Palestinians may have broken the long time dispute that has caused the deaths of many on both sides throughout this conflict. I have always felt that the only way that the Palestinians can get some sovereignty is to realize the truth of their situation and the fact that their Arab brothers have left them out to dry for far too long. They and only they can deal with the Israelis on a one to one basis and as just people, not bitter enemies. For we watch as bombers kill Israelis and Israelis kill in retaliation, when they just need to sit down and understand that unless they all want to die through an endless cycle of violence they must get along at least enough to tolerate living as neighbors who have far more in common than they have in disagreement.
This new peace initiative could never have come about without the death of Yassar Arafat, a leader who could have done so much for his people if he had not only his own agenda to stay as the top leader in spite of the pain endured by his "people". This man was no martyr, but merely another corrupt politician who cared more for filling his pockets and his ego, than he did for what was best for his people.
Now with this new person we may see that if the extremes on both sides are ignored and the centerists listened too, that a meaningful peace can be achieved for all to benefit from and finally give the children of those too lands a chance at a brighter future. There will be violence of course, for the provocateurs cannot let peace bloom without putting up a fight. Have you ever noticed that in all of these places the people who kill and maim the innocents never have a plan other than to kill and maim. What a place it could be if they turned their swords into plow shares and assisted with making it a better place to live in.
Reality of course is that they will not and that is why we need a worldwide effort to hunt them down and exterminate ALL of them. I would be glad to give them a list of what to look for in a terrorist to make it ever more clear who they should be hunting down and killing. Perhaps one of these nights we shall list as many traits, ideas, etc., that need to be rooted out and destroyed for the betterment of all of mankind.
Peace can be found on this small planet, but a lot of blood shed will need to occur to bring it about.
