That way, in addition to fighting them head-on for the immediate victory, we can also work towards there being no resources for this cancer later.
And just for the record, there was a lot of resistance fighting against the Nazis. It's just hard when you're a poor east European Jew to argue with the SS officer who has a gun pointed at you telling you to get on the train.

I understand where you are coming from. but believe if we are to rid ourselves of a cancer we must eliminate the tumor. Nadik Hasan was described by his cousin as "a good American who was being discriminated against". Calling a mass murderer a good American makes no sense to me but it appears to make sense to Muslim radicals (at least I hope they are radical and not Islamic mainstream)
The terrorists are here. We need to root them out unless we are willing to put up the murder of those who dare disagree. The recent murder of a Muslim girl by her father for, "being too America" demonstrates this as clearly as the actions of Nadik Hasan.
