I see your fantasy scenario and raise you...

Flak armor? Screw that, I'm going to man my orbital solarpumped geosynchronous laser beam facility with the special atmospheric distortion compensation attachment (special this week only!) and work in air-conditioned comfort.

You might notice the little drones buzzing all over the West Bank lately, taking photos, dropping tracers. Me and the computers have a pretty good bead on all the major figures in this war, and pretty soon I'm gonna start Operation Bullseye again.

Remember how well that worked with Saddam? Every now and then--not all the time--when he or his vehicle got out under the open sky, a blast from space would punch down and draw a fifty-foot molten circle thirty inches deep around his position. That's it. Didn't touch him.

I understand he's almost bald now, that he stays in large crowds, and that it's a capital offense to take a flash picture of him. Should be almost ready to negotiate.

Should work just as well on anyone else.
