Hey Jim, I'm a pretty much a hard-liner too. No nonsense. Trust me I do not want to hurt innocent civilians either, but sometimes ya gotta do, what ya gotta do. In this day of modern warfare (terrorism), there is virtually no way to get at them without hurting others.
I truly feel that if countries like Lebanon, Syria, etc. are going to knowledgably harbor them, then they have to be willing to suffer the consequences. If I knowingly harbored bank robbers or rapists in my town or home, then well, too bad for me because I would be A PART OF IT and would have to take what comes.
So I say, let them have it. This ain't for the faint of heart and it's going to get much worse before it gets better. We have to play hardball and get rid of the sons of....
