This is a major debacle again that does not endear us to the Muslim world..and I think ultimately only incites more terrorists...OPINIONS PLEASE.

We have a War Against Terror. Terrorists sent 20 people with box cutters to our shores and killed almost 3000 of our people. If luck had been on their side, the number of deaths on our side could have been much higher.

We have to defeat the terrorists. But, there is a smart way to do it and there are stupid ways to do it.

By destabilizing Iraq, it has cost us over 2000 people in the military and $300 Billion dollars in the occupation of Iraq. The final amount could be over $1Trillion dollars.

If we inadvertently destabilize Pakistan and nuclear weapons fall into the hands of radical Muslims sympathetic to the terrorists, we will have a mess on our hands.

Is this a smart way to fight terrorists and terrorism?
