Yes this seems to be the standard response. "Duuuh bomb dem and dey will nart be ables to do a terrorist to us!".

But even if you put all morals aside and agree to wipe out the entire population of "maybe terror folks" - it is logistically impossible to actually do it. The more bombs you drop, the more terror attacks there will be. Simple as that. So really what it comes down to is this: people are angry and incredulous that innocent people are the victims of terror attacks. And rightly so. But is indignation and foot stomping, even if it's justified, WORTH IT if the end result is actually more deaths of innocents rather than less?

Striking back in anger (back at who, anyway? Drop bombs where?) is never going to be the answer to this no matter how tempting an option it might seem. When people start getting their heads around that, we might actually stand some sort of chance in making some progress. Until then, you are part of the problem, not the solution. Every angry voice advocating further and more aggressive military action is contributing to future deaths in our own country. That might sound harsh but it's the absolute truth.
