Nonetheless, there is nothing that can be done. The die have been cast. For some time, we have been moving to the same place that holds the Israelis and the Palestinians. We are pretty much there now. This looks like the beginning of a long holy war. I am sensing near despair in your post and I believe I feel much the same way. You know why I feel a bit despaired? It's not just that at this point, we seem to be losing the war on terror. That can always be reversed by a good leader who unites the world against terror. What has me despaired is that I think there is something in the nature of our enemy which cannot be negotiated with. They don't want anything from us, except to destroy us. They come from a virulent ideology and have plenty of funding from Muslim governments and from wealthy Muslims. In addition, they have popular backing. Most Muslim people rate Osama as a hero. Could that be a little of why you are despaired? That we are fighting an enemy that cannot be mollified nor negotiated with, and as such, it means we have no choice but to keep fighting for decades until that enemy or us perishes completely?
