A lesson in how to defeat terrorism

From Jim Malone and Eliot Ness:

Malone: You said you wanted to get Capone. Do you really wanna get him? You see what I'm saying is, what are you prepared to do?

Eliot Ness: Anything and everything in my power.

Malone: And THEN what are you prepared to do? If you open the can on these worms you must be prepared to go all the way because they're not gonna give up the fight until one of you is dead.

Eliot Ness: How do you do it then?

Malone: You wanna know how you do it? Here's how, they pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send on of his to the morgue! That's the Chicago way, and that's how you get Capone! Now do you want to do that? Are you ready to do that?

They attack your cities?

You destroy their governments, and replace them with friendly ones.

They kill your people?

You kill their leaders.

Al Qaeda understands the war we are fighting.

And they also understand that they are losing it.
