What would make you different from any other terrorist group that feels justified in its actions?

Because terroist are killing innocents while we would be killing the terrorist attacking the innocents.
It really is not that hard to understand and I am surprised how few people grasp this simple concept.

They hide amongst the general population. How you will you sort the lambs from the goats? Especially when many of the lambs are giving support to the goats?
Do you kill those who are giving them aid as well?
How do you distinguish between people who knowlingly donate to terrorist organizations and those who give to their Mosque or local charity and it finds its way into terrorist coffers?
If it were a simple concept, then there wouldn't be any terrorists, they would have been stamped out ages ago.
The fact that you think its a simple concept worries me just a bit. To an extremist the world is very simple. They see things as black and white, good and evil. Real life is seldom that simple.
The truth is the only solutions that will stamp out terrorism are not palatable to us. We would need to do the same thing to the Arabic people's that we did to the Native Americans. Destroy their economic base and leave them starving and beaten, so fearful of our retaliation that they wouldn't dare to attack us again. Instituting a system of collective responsibility will work, if you have the will to push it through and don't balk at killing innocent men, women, and children. The effect it would have on our soldiers and our nation would be catastrophic imo.
Its not going to happen in this day and age, and I can't say I'm too sorry about that.
