ozbiggles,

You say "If appeasement isn't applicable (ie people who murder kids/blow up planes) then something that goes bang might be needed."

Would you support using such a doctrine consistently? Against all nations that murder kids and blow up planes? Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, Russia, Rwanda, China, Israel, Egypt, etc. Against the west's newest friend, Libya? Or against the US for downing an Iranian airliner?

Our "defence" forces would be awfully busy.
