A plan to help counteract terrorist activities in Iraq and Afganistan.?

I was thinking of this plan to counteract terrorist activities in the War on Terror. We all know that the most common weapon used by terrorists (short of possibly improvised explosive devices) is the AK-47. Why convert some of our current ammunition production facilities for the US military to the production of 7.62 x 39mm rounds used in the AK-47. Model them after the most prevailant rounds used today (namely Wolf Ammunition and Chinese producers) but instead of filling them with powder fill them with C4. Then air drop the dummy rounds all over the countries and let terrorist forces take and use them. When the fire the rounds it explodes, at worst destroying the weapon and at best killing the user. At the same time, work with the government to start working on weapon restriction to cut down on civilian casualties. Also, put special markings on them (Like spelling Wolf "Wulf") so that our allies can be informed and not hurt themselves. What is your opinion on the idea?

    Sounds like a good idea. Two problems:

    1) Civilians getting killed

    2) After the first 10 terrorists get blown up, the entire terrorist community will know of the new plan.

    ...Did you hear what Sen. Obama's foreign policy advisor wants to do? He wants to train our soldiers and the Iraqi soldiers by having them watch episodes of Winnie the Pooh! Obama has put together a brilliant team on foreign policy.

    That sounds like a clever idea but hopefully the Taliban doesn't log into Yahoo! Answers very much. :-)
