Thanks to Victor Davis Hansen for this idea.

If some group or country came to the US and said, "We demand in tribut ehte lives of at least 30 of your people every year, or we will kill a lot more," we'd laugh at them and tellthem to go stick it where the sun don't shine. Why then do we allow all the radical Islamic fascists to do this to us? Think about it. Ever since the formation of groups like Hezbolah, Americans have been murdered by Islamic terrorist groups pretty much every year for something like 25 years, and we've just let them keep doing it. It's high time we tell them to stop. And if they don't, we stop them. Here's the deal. Make a huge announcement in the press, call it the Second Bush Doctrine, and say, "Every time American citizens are killed by Muslim terrorists, we WILL kill an equal number of Muslims, terrorists or not." I know it's not particularly realistic in the world we live in, but wouldn't it be nice if we could stop taking the high road and just take care of business?
