If you are truly serious about employing any means necessary as a deterent, then take a page from Israel's book from a few years back when they would bulldoze the homes of suicide bombers and just take it further. Go after their families without mercy, specifically the women.

The only way to fight back is to become more ruthless than they are. We need to toughen up as individuals and as a nation to leave no doubt in the minds of would-be jihadists that they are up against a superior power. Otherwise we are forever at their mercy. I really didn't want Israel to be our model for the future, but we are in a pickle now leaving us essentially no choice.
