How to Stop Suicide Bombers?

Many of you have been asking me a question about suicide bombers and how to stop them. It seems Israel routinely arrests Hamas and Jihad terrorists strolling about with packets of explosives. It did so yesterday. In some cases as they are planting their goodwill parcels. Israel sometimes holds them for a while, till the next goodwill gesture (after all they do not have "blood on their hands" because they failed in their attempts and so get released) or just lets them go right away.

Anyways, many of you have been asking why Israel does not deal with the Hamas and Jihad by taking these captured terrorists, cuffing them, strapping on the explosives, and then dropping them out of choppers or drones over downtown Ramallah or over Hamas rallies and then detonating them just before they reach the ground.

And as so often happens these days, I do not have a good answer for your questions.

Meanwhile, for a great peace plan and way to deal with the PLO, I suggest taking a look at the 149th Psalm.
