8. Or, perhaps a refusal to go after terror by killing the terrorists would result in more terrorism.

You are really mixing in two arguments. One is the reasonable argument that perhaps the war in Afghanistan (and certainly the war in Iraq) are not the solution.

The other is the entirely unreasonable (and fortunately always-ignored) argument that targeted killings of terrorists somehow increases terrorism (relative to not doing so) rather than reduces it.
