["You're under arrest for resisting arrest!"]

First, can we drop the term "terrorist?" As I understand the word, it means
somebody who kills or destroys things just to frighten and dishearten people.
The Shi'ite hijackers are obviously political extortionists, since they're
using threats.

Everybody knows that it's hard to hit a moving target.  Countries are
sitting ducks, because they're _fixed_ political organizations.
They're so fixed that in most of the world they even have geographical
borderlines.

In the computer age, fixity is the ultimate liability, and countries
are obsolete.  As soon as we develop dynamic political alignments to
replace countries, the international extortionists will have nothing to
aim at.
