Internment does not work, torture does not work , as the British Government found out with the IRA, it only hardens the resolve of the
'terrorist'. Diplock Courts Long Kesh, The Maze did not deter the IRA, it just fueled their resolve. Put them on trial or let them go, your CIA machine should be capable of finding them, after all they always get their man, or so were lead to believe.  |
Always get their man? Wasn't that the RCMP (Royal
Canadian Mounted Police)? Oh, well......
You raise some good points. Perhaps I can simplify. When you treat people with disrespect, when you treat them as less than fully human, it doesn't work. Deciding that you won't talk to other countries doesn't work, either - witness the recent war of words with Iran, or the 40-year-plus attempt by the USA to bring down Fidel Castro. While the Cuban economy is a wreck, Castro is still in power and likely to remain so for life. Treat a a person or country with scorn and it is likely you will get the same in return. Same goes for respect!
