Well said Unclewest. And I concur that this is about targeting those regimes (and not targeting a national population necessarily) which encourage, and facilitate terrorist activities.. But terrorism is very similar to organized crime. It will never be completely snuffed out. But it can be reduced by seeking to eliminate the causes, both economic and political, that feed and strengthen it. I still believe the best manner in which to fight regimes like Hussein and others, is to provide the necessary support to internal factions, who have just as strong a desire to reclaim their own national sovereignty from the dictators who have usurped their destinies. And like the fall of the Soviet Union, many of these regimes are so rotten at the core, that all that is often required is the knowledge that the US and other nations are willing to support them and help them to rebuild what remains of their lives. That's where I believe the US should be placing major emphasis. Help the people to rise up against their oppressors, and avoid uncessary commitments of US forces that reduce our global flexibility to respond to other potential threats such as a militaristic China.
