| #4 Mongol-style retaliation is way too indiscriminate. The traditional Afghan response is the blood feud. Meaning family members of the culprit are targeted, and perhaps even the tribe. Since the Taliban transcends tribal ties, targeting family members would seem to be the most effective method of deterring such attacks. |
