Earlier today, in response to this post, commenter A asked:
Detectives now believe all four London bombers were British citizens.
Do you support bombing British neighborhoods in retaliation?
In addition to the link A posted, we now have this later report:
London bombers 'were all British'
Detectives now believe the London bombings were carried out by four British-born men in what were possibly the country's first suicide attacks.Security sources said it was likely at least three of the men, said to be of Pakistani descent, are dead, after belongings were found at the scenes.
Clearly it's unsuitable for a country to be bombing territory on its own soil. However, in many ways deportation would have a similar effect.
The British have already begun to identify the centers of the society, that literally gave birth to these terrorists and encouraged them to commit these acts of war upon their own country:
I would recommend that the British consider a large-scale deportation of people involved in the mosque to which this cleric belonged, as well as of those connected with any other centers which can be identified, of the society that spawned these terrorists.THE London bombings occurred exactly six months after an extremist cleric based in the capital declared that Islam was at war with Britain.
On those who are not deported, deportation would have a substantial effect. They would fear for their lives, in the sense of the continuing of their current lives in England. Theywould see that the consequences of supporting terrorists are real and very serious. So not only would deportation rid England of poisonous killers who have abused England's generosity; it would also show those who remain that terrorism doesn't work.
#2In your original analysis, neighborhoods that produce terrorists should be considered enemies and therefore legitimate targets.
Yes, but that doesn't mean you have to bomb them. If they're on your own soil, you have other options, including arrest and deportation, that are preferable.
Why is unsuitable? In your original analysis, neighborhoods that produce terrorists should be considered enemies and therefore legitimate targets. If that analysis is correct, it can be applied to "enemies" on British soil, and therefore these enemies can be bombed as if Britain were engaged in a civil war. We burned whole American cities to the ground in the American civil war, after all....
