jim,

Your enthusiasm is understandable, but your program did not define the enemy (unless all who praise Allah are the enemy) , did not find the enemy (The Saudis? c'mon, man!) and did not set goals for what to call a victory (nuking every Islamic nation will raise some questions in the UN).

It's not that easy. It is not that simple.
Many Arab leaders are our best friends against Islamic terrorism. They have suffered from it for two-three decades and suppressed it with great force so they would not be overthrown in religious revolution like the Iranian Shah.
The northern alliance in Afghanistan were our allies against the Soviet Union. God knows were the hundreds of Stinger ground-air missiles we gave them are hidden now.
Those Mojahideen (sp?) fought a Jihad (Islamic holy war) against the Soviets. What makes them better then the Taliban?
