The best way to eradicate all terrorists is simply to drain their financial
resources. This would have a global support and and no human life would be
sacrificed. Imagine if Osama Ben ladin would wake up and find out that he
has $0 left. He wouldn't be able to finance any of his efforts. This would
expose him and all of his followers where they could be captured and brought
to justice (chaining to a building and firing a rocket comes to mind).
