they should be tortured like the way they tortuted millions of somalis. Death sentense is too easy. Id like to see them suffer a little more before they die.

Though I do not condone terrorism combating terrorist violence with draconian policy has historically exasperated the problem. It creates a sympathetic framework for the target group transforming them into rebels, even a symbol of freedom. In place of overt ruthless violence prominent Al Shabaab members should be captured and put to trial, while a covert military operation targets and swiftly seizes main bases. Captured members would be given the option to either abandon their cause and seek professional help, or to die for it.

Most members of terrorist groups are cajoled into joining. They are young and impressionable and the illusion of honor gives them a sense of purpose. Instead of killing the misguided why not help them? I truly believe the Somali government would benefit from investing in anti-terrorist rehabilitation centers.
