So, in your book, which of the many terrorist cities need blowing up first?
I’m thinking some serious nation-unbuilding might just be a pretty good deterrent to terrorism.
I think that history shows those willing to read a history book that America, more than any country in the world, can get pissed off enough to flatten ENEMY cities with no regard for civilian casualties.
Cities that come to mind are Berlin, Dresden and Tokyo.
So, a long term plan for residents of Tehran, Mecca and Riyadh might be to move.
