I hope you at least agree that $400 million per dead American is way, way, WAY too much to be spending.
Our approach to terrorism should be do nothing overt until the responsible parties and their enablers are found, and then assassinate them. Pure and simple. Whether that's accomplished with a poisoned umbrella or an ICBM is irrelevant. I find it hard to believe that even Saddam Hussein couldn't have been taken out this way.
I could say the same about mass-shootings, by the way. If the cure for mass shootings is dramatically worse than the problem, then a different approach is needed. Infringing on the rights of 320 million law-abiding Americans because a few dozen people are murdered each year is, if you'll pardon the pun, overkill. (And it's no solution anyway since the problem is that too many Americans have no respect for human life.)
