There are no easy solutions.

The Nazis used a similar policy against people that they felt were
terrorists, exterminating entire villages for the acts of a few.

If we descend to the level of terrorists, we are terrorists.

It is so easy to expound righteous patriotic fervor, but nothing will
be accomplished by sending Rambo to Beirut. Besides, there are really
quite a few shiits in this world, distributed across quite a few
national boundaries, exactly how do you'll propose do do them all in?

After Munich, the Israeli's quietly and patiently identified and executed
every member of the gang involved in that operation.
