I somehow agree with all of your points.

DevSix is right that punitive actions against the whole population of a town is counterproductive, unnecessairy and wrong. However there should be harsh punitive actions against terrorists.

For every murdered hostage we should execute first 5 captured terrorists, if they harm a second hostage we execute another 10 Terrorists, etc. This is an appropiate response.

Reading the war news of the recent days at least three times I read about captured terrorists getting medically treated by our troops. I understand the reasoning regarding intelligence gathering, however if you add this to the statements by General Petraues, who urged our troops to “fight fair” and the “catch and release” we’ve done during the last 3 years... and this gets really disturbing.

However there should be harsh punitive actions against terrorists.

There will be. As there has been 99% of the time in the past. Against specific individuals and their associated groups...be that in Iraq or Stan.

For every murdered hostage we should execute first 5 captured terrorists, if they harm a second hostage we execute another 10 Terrorists, etc. This is an appropriate response.

Yeah ... the Nazi's used these tactics in WWII. This might seem the proper response in the heat of the moment ... but it would bring down world wide condemnation. There are a lot hand wringing liberals out there just waiting for an opportunity to be outraged.
