It's a shame there isn't a suitable island somewhere really.

I'd prefer to see Islamist trouble makers deported to a Muslim country rather
than locked up.

These people do not depend on single-action events. It does
not appear that they're organized that way. Their strategy (or do
I mean tactic?) is to make as many random messes as possible.
So, physically tailing one person will only track his mess
making activities...maybe. Unless you can follow him directly
into the mosque where assignments are made and supplies handed
out, they will gleefully keep your cops busy following false
trails while the real work is going on elsewhere.

But it's not the most productive. If it is known that he is
a target, he will be used as a false trail. Even I, who knows
nothing about this stuff, can figure how to use somebody
under surveillance as part of an overall plan.

Which you haven't seen. These people are using emails and comm;

His transactions may be watched. It isn't the forward flows of money

They came within a few days of making a mess. I don't call that
effective. I call that lucky. You can't depend on luck 100%
of the time.

You allowed them to continue to make messes for almost a century.
The US has no patience for that. We are used to identifying a job
and getting it done to completion and then going on to the next
job.

Right. So the way to prevent these kinds of terrorists from making
their messes is for their community to take care of this radical
thinking when it begins to grow. Ignoring this behaviour until
it is too big to contain within a local neighborhood, creates
bigger messes. The longer this mindset is ignored, the bigger
the mess the world will eventually had to deal with.

I am trying to determine the key bit that needs to be fixed before
the real problem can be addressed. I think I've fingered it
out. Now the real work can begin.

No, it doesn't. That's why the US has military in countries
other than its own.

We don't intend to prevent 100% of those attacks. The goal is
to redirect those energies to making money and building stuff
and inventing stuff. This category of activity is usually called capitalism.

Do you feel a nation, which is at war with a nation which is not a signatory
to the Convention is bound by the terms of the convention?

So in reality, when Truman went to the UN to request support and a UNSCR to
justify the conflict, this was actually an unnamed European nation
requesting US help?

Instead of saying what you plan to talk about, why not identify which
European nations requested US assistance in Korea?

This may be of interest to you: (The wonders of wiki)

"The North's start of an all-out civil war came as a surprise to the Western
powers. The U.S. did not have an emergency response force ready, but it did
have a large military and reserves, and a cadre of highly experienced
officers and sergeants. President Harry S Truman ordered U.S. naval and air
forces to stem the North Korean advance, but they were not allowed to attack
north of the 38th parallel, and especially not into Chinese or Russian
territory.
The initial units sent in were drawn from the U.S. occupation forces in
Japan under the command of General Douglas MacArthur. Truman ordered
MacArthur to transfer munitions to the South Korean Army and to use air
cover to protect the evacuation of American citizens. Truman also ordered
the Seventh Fleet to protect the island of Taiwan. Although the Chinese
Nationalists offered to participate in the war, the Americans declined
because they were poorly equipped and trained, and politically, there was a
risk that Nationalist participation would encourage overt intervention by
the Chinese communists. The first significant American combat unit to arrive
in South Korea was Task Force Smith, part of the U.S. Army 24th Infantry
Division based in Japan. On July 5, it engaged in the first North
Korean-American clash of the war at Osan.

The United Nations immediately acted, ordering the invaders to withdraw and
calling all members to support South Korea. A UN command was established
under the control of the United States. Britain, Australia and other Western
powers quickly showed support and volunteered to aid in the effort."

When I was in Turkey, I took a picture. It had a car, camel and
donkey parked under one tree. It struck me that, no matter
what happens in the rest of the world, these people had the
infrastructure to cope with all possible events, other than
complete local destruction.

I suggest you get rid of your arrogance and begin to think.

Some countries won't honor an extradition request for murderers
if the punishment might be the death penalty. So why
are there such things as extradition treaties?
