Ways NOT to fight Terrorists

The following things WILL NOT, I repeat WILL NOT, help you win in a war against terrorists.

1. Torture
2. Total Warfare
3. Occupations
4. Use of Weapons of Mass Destruction
5. Turning your enemies into Martyrs
6. Making your enemies look like the Good Guys to certain people compared to you
7. Giving out Contracts to Corporations that are based in your Country IF you are occupying another country
8. Photo-Ops won't help either, Chimpy.

2. These won't either

arresting "ethnics" of the suspect country of origin and and throwing them into Immigration custody

taking over natural resources, such as oil, located in a country you are occupying

treating your enemies like animals and insulting their religious beliefs, symbols and books.

3. other things that backfire...

Indiscriminately murdering family and friends of terrorists.
Using 'Crusade' as if by mistake to refer to our war of liberation.
Killing more civilians than Saddam did.
Selecting Karen Hughes to be ambassador of U.S. fuzzy love hugs.
Letting insipid duty dodger president taunt them with "Bring it On" statements.
Flushing Holy Koran in toilet to somehow 'break their spirit.'
Lastly...thinking somehow this can be won if we just keep on killing.
