I agree that we should "concentrate on the formative years of these people". But the thing is, it comes with the disclaimer that, it will take 15 or more years

I agree that we should "concentrate on the formative years of these people". But the thing is, it comes with the disclaimer that, it will take 15 or more years to work, and we don't really know that it will work at all. And nobody will get elected on the 15-year promise when there is a boatload of other candidates that promise an easy fix. Anyways, my point is, that government official has this, damned if you do, and damned if you don't, position. It is not clear at all what he (rather, we) should do.

> But the thing is, it comes with the disclaimer that, it will take 15 or more years to work, and we don't really know that it will work at all. It's the best plan I have, and I'm not even in a position to put that one into practice but most of the other stuff I hear seems to mostly revolve around either killing people or nabbing them on the way to the venue and those don't stand a chance. Hence my assertion that we'll see a lot more of this before we can put an actual stop to it. Even stopgap measures are going to be very hard to come by.
