BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY :

Wahhabis in the Old Dominion : What the federal raids in Northern Virginia uncovered. (Stephen Schwartz, 04/08/2002, Weekly Standard)

The [Saudi] kingdom pledged $400 million last year for the support of "martyrs' families," according to the Saudi Embassy website. At $5,300 per "martyr," that works out to about 75,000 martyrs, suggesting the Saudi princes anticipate a lot more suicide bombings than Israel has yet suffered.

The thought occurs--while listening to NPRistas talk about how these Palestinians become suicide bombers in part because their families get money--that one of the ways to deter the bombings is for Israel to execute the families of the bombers. Surely this would provide some disincentive, however slight, to counterbalance the Saudi and Iraqi blood money. Posted by Orrin Judd at April 2, 2002 6:32 PM
