What a wimpish, bleeding-heart solution!  We'd better go farther
than that to show 'em we mean business.  We should tell 'em they're
*ALL* dead meat, but if they release the hostages--and I mean *RIGHT
NOW*--we'll kill 'em quickly.  Otherwise it'll be slow torture, and
we'll force them to watch it, too.  Ahh, the Fuehrer would be proud...

Actually, the most ingenious solution (as opposed to the final one)
I've heard is for the US Gov't. to insist that Israel release all its
Shi'ite prisoners--to the US Marines.
