(A little flaming but I think that makes my point.  Not something we want to become.)

Seriously while this would probably be quite satisfying we would do
two things to ourselves:

1) We would martyrize the offending nation to like nations with
similar ideas.  Can you say Jihad?

2) We would most likely alienate the more pacifistic elements of our
foreign allies.  Not something you want to do if you want to _stop_
terrorism in your country as pacifists forced to fight are often
_more_ fierce than the "normal" warriors.  Cornered animal syndrome.

What we need is state approved assassinations of anyone even remotely
related to the incident.  Much as I don't approve it would need to be
done men, women, children, and friends style to have the desired effect.

You can't leave anyone alive to continue the chain of evil.
Unfortunately you often become the evil you sought to remove.
