KLP,

I believe you posted a very interesting editorial, especially the part about the Boyd-cycle. It absolutely make sense.

I strongly disagree that spreading horrific pictures from Al Qaida will help win the war, in contrary. For me that is so obvious that I think that I don't need to explain.

The article ended with 'America will win the war'. I hope so, but is their anyone who can give me a clear roadmap to that victory. I don't see it, nor do I believe that withdrawal will lead to victory.

As far as I understand the Bush-administration is, at this moment, caught in a lose-lose situation.

There must be another angle of looking to this immense problem. I heard the musculair bragging from the Bush-administration for over a year. And so far things only get worse. It looks like this thing is turning into the same vicious circle as the Israelian-Palestinian conflict. But then on a worldwide scale.

So if there is anyone who can come up with fresh ideas how to win this war on terror, I am interested. The best ideas are the ideas that look ridicoulous at first sight.

For example; If Bush is so convinced that the Arab world need a democracy as a beacon for the Arab world, why not building a Palestinan democracy. I know it sounds absurd, but so are the current plans.

Bottomline; can anyone come up with a roadmap to victory?

Regards,

Paul
