I can't speak for all pacifists, fatalists and revolutionary defeatists, but 
I would recommend simply investigating this global network to get better 
evidence on who's responsible for what, then taking appropriate police, not 
military, action.  I would not recommend carpet bombing 50 nations to root 
out these people, however many there are and however hellbent on our 
destruction they may be.
