Perhaps they would like to promote world war and instability but I do not see how an overpowering show of brute force which eliminates known terrorists and terrorist orgainizations plays right into their hands. Perhaps they are not afraid to die but I believe given their druthers they'd prefer to stay alive to wreak more havoc.


Saddam Hussein wants to stay in power. Khadafy wants to stay in power. The Taliban want to stay in power. When it is clear they either cooperate or they are permanently removed from power (once a few governments are made an example of) you'd be surprised what kinbd of cooperation the US can extract.
