Was talking to someone who has spent a lot of time in the Middle East and he said many of them hate us, our way life, and want us wiped off the map. That if we kill a "soldier" (for lack of a better word) and that soldier has a son, that son will be told about his father's death and trained to use a gun at the earliest possible age in preparation for revenge. He said to truly win a war like the one we are raging against extremists, you have to take out their whole family. That no one will ever speak that in public, but that it's a reality, if the goal is to eradicate extremists.
Made me think about Ozmo's anti-baby-killing crusade. 
My point exactly!! You must know the nature of your enemy, in order to deal with him accordingly. I’m all for diplomacy and trying to reach some sort of mutual understanding and peaceful resolution to conflict. And, that’s a two-way street.
But, when you have foes whose deeds and words indicate, in no uncertain terms, that their goal is to destroy you and will do so the instant they obtain the means, the time for talk is over (whether it was the Amalekites then, or Muslim terrorists now).
