I just don't see HOW you can wage a war against terror.
If it's a war against a country or a group, it's something tangible and of course the US and coalition forces would crush them.
But how do you fight an ideology? Kill leaders and new ones come forwards. For every person we kill, more replace them because they see the dead as martrys.
What is the definition of winning? Killing or arresting every single person who would wish us harm? It's impossible to do and therefore you can never win a war against terror.
I pointed out in another thread that it only takes a VERY small number of people to successfully terrorise a population. The washington sniper.. 2 guys brought a whole city to a standstill. 20 people could do 10 cities and terrorise the whole of America.
