Bureaucracy
I should have become a bureaucrat. There is no better way to inflict pain on the world than to force them to deal with a bureaucracy. It's our greatest weapon, and it's truly being under-utilized. If the US were to force all enemies to fill out and file an "Enemy of the US" form in triplicate, signed, sealed and delivered... we would surely beat any foe who came up against us. Kill them with long lines, endless paperwork, and deadlines.
"I'm sorry, it appears our computers are down today, you'll have to some back next month. We only process that form every Tuesday and Thursday of the third week of months beginning with the letter J. That is of course unless you have form 3452084-C appended. Then, we can process it every Friday that falls on an odd day from 3:00-3:15pm. Thank you. Have a Nice Day."
