eCo,

<the implied hypothesis is: direct military retaliation for terrorist acts as a sole means for eradicating fundamentalist-based terrorism is ineffective over the long-term. The evidence to date seems to support this.>

So we go situation normal, police actions only, no military involvement?

My point was, there is really no way to know, because no matter what you do, it will not likely "solve" the problem, and can therefore be second-guessed after the fact, being labelled as a failure, no matter what.

Seems to me like we have an opportunity to do something on a grander scale here with nearly unilateral worldwide support. I think Bush had a good point: "you can hide, but you can't hide forever". If the worldwide coalition is a strong as I hope it is, we can really deal a big blow to terrorism for quite some time (all things relative here).

If the coaltion isn't very strong, all bets are off.
