    Of the many oppinions I have heard, I have yet to come across the understanding that the "Battle against terrorism" is a battle of will. Not just of staying power and "will" is sometimes mistaken to mean holding the morale high ground, no the true "way to win" is the absolute embrace of horrible things. Things taboo and grotesque. Our opponents have harnessed the media to show us their resolve. the obvious and only response is to show how we truely are "the great satan."
    The object of political violence is to affect change within a scociety. The evolution of this scociety is fundamental to allow it's survival through the trials of political violence. The trend in political violence is exactly that a trend. Beheading and mutilation; lack imagination on behalf of the target scocieties enemy. these tactics are older than the scociety that is under seige. To end the seige it is neccessary to understand what would demorilze and undermine the resolve of those laying the seige. this can be accomplished by stomaching the atrocities that would produce such an effect. If your enemy attacks destroy their way of life. not with conventional warfare, make those they care for cry out for them to end their campaign by any means neccessary unlimited by taboo or standards of the target scociety,but not death. the key is to cause suffering on a scale that the only recourse for the suffering, is to beg and plead for the curtailment of all actions by the aggressor. Fear is a means to surrender. It may generate sympathy, however, who will stand in the agressors place once they begged for the target scociety to end their onslaught?
    With this understanding what will it take for the target scociety to use those with in it with the resolution to affect change on the agressor.
