    That would be ALL of them, if they'd thought the issue through carefully.

    Well, as long as you raise the subject, this is how you deal with terrorists, if you want to win the war, and not just the battles:

    I think many of us have underestimated South Africa.  They apparently share some of the same problems as we have in Memphis but have already arrived at a solution.  I just got the following story from a friend at Bloomberg but have no idea what the news service is where he gets this stuff and I'm embarrassed to write and ask about it since I have watched his show in several weeks:


    Robber shot dead at a funeral parlour in S.Africa: police
    2010-09-29 17:06:23.838 GMT


         Sept. 29 (AFP) -- A South African robber was shot dead as
    he attempted to steal a bag containing money at a funeral
    parlour east of Johannesburg police said Wednesday.
         Police spokesman Cobus Holloway said the incident happened
    when an old lady with her son were followed by four armed men
    in a stolen car after they withdrew substantial amount from a
    bank to take to a funeral parlour.
         "The old lady saw that they being followed and when she
    got inside she swapped her bag with another lady... one robber
    grabbed the bag but it was the wrong one," said Holloway.
         Meanwhile the son fought with the robbers who snatched his
    mother's bag "but he (the robber) managed to run away with the
    bag."
         As they fled towards their getaway car the son then took
    out his registered firearm and shot at the robbers killing one
    of them just outside the building, said Holloway.
         The others sped away in the stolen car but police gave
    chase and arrested two of them. Police shot one of the alleged
    robbers in the arm but he managed to run away.
