a war against terrorism is a quagmire.....fatal flaw with our current Mideast policies

jcky, any review of our policies has to start with the fact that we are not going to change our policy towards Israel. That is just reality. It ain't gonna happen. Ever. Does not make any difference whither you want it or I oppose it. The more we are attacked by these terrorists, the stronger our relationship with Israel will be. You can see how much stronger that relationship is since 911.

"Quagmire" was an overused expression during Vietnam, and does not apply here. I think Steve is right. There is always going to be a profit in selling drugs. Running a Terrorist operation is becoming unprofitable very fast. We can search out, identify, and neutralize these terrorists faster than they can be recruited and trained. We have more men and money and intelligence on our side.
