I can't believe that it comes to thinking like this but, how does one deter one willing to die?

The only thing that I can think of is to attack the families of those that carry out this sort of attack. That is not something that the western governments can do, but the Soviets did that sort of thing when they arrested the whole family...


Though the bomber is gonna get 70 virgins, the thought of the rest of his family at the minimum spending life in Jail, and preferably dieing would be a better deterrent. Alas it is most likely something we could never implement.

I think the Isreali's probably have it right, kill any terrorist whereever you find them.
