If at first you don’t succeed

 

1. "They analyze risk very carefully, and when the risk is too high they are going to step back.”

   How about we crank up the risk, so suddenly and so intensely that they don’t have TIME to “step back”?

   Kinda like Drew’s picture.  Yup.  Works for me!

2. How about

   every time they put a boat in the water, it gets sunk with all hands lost?

   Risk probability = 1.

   We’re probably going to have to lose some hostages to solve this. Sorry. The world has had more than a year to figure out another way, and they haven’t.

3. Seeing those pics of cannons reminded me of this......

   As well as hanging mutineers, the British had some “blown from cannon"-- an old Mughal punishment adopted many years before in India. A method of execution midway between firing squad and hanging but more demonstrative, sentenced rebels were set before the mouth of cannons and blown to pieces.

   As Voltaire remarked “pour encourager les autres”
