Agreed that this war might not be winnable in a few years. Plus, in a few years, the world might not have the resolve to fight that it has now. At the end of the day we must prove that we are willing to do what is needed to survive, because the only way terrorism will end this time is through fear. Citizens, not governments must fear having a warmonger in their country. Because if civilians fear warmongers more than they fear their governments, then warmongers won't be allowed to come to power. Can you imagine the Japanese or Germans letting a warmonger into power nowadays? Not likely. Their people remember what letting a warmonger into power costs them.

This war had better not end with the destruction of the Taliban and the death of bin Laden. If it does, then Iraq, Iran and factions in Saudi Arabia with continue to finance different terrorists and the results will continue to be the same (or worse) as they have been.

Here is a wild question for you. Do you think the USA can economically survive another terrorist attack in a major city where at least tens of thousands of lives are lost?

I know that the immediate local effects would be manageable, but I'm not sure the ripple effects would be.
