#1 No war has been won by deploying minimum force the quantum that liberals concede when the terrorist leaves them no option but to allow that something just has to be done. Wars are won by overpowering the opponent with overwhelming force.

And so it must be in the case of terrorism, and of the states that sponsor it: not an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth; for an eye, both eyes, for a tooth, the whole jaw.

Hat off Mr Shourie. Drop dead Jawid.

#2 Odd that he defines "barbarism" as meaning "not communist".

#3 Hobsbawm is a good read concerning the topic of "social banditry" and its resistance to the state's monopoly on "violence". Yes he is a Marxist, but one with some interesting ideas.
