>>I understand your explanation, but I don't see why it is important. They are all the enemy. They all want to kill us. They all must be stopped.<<

MM -

The reason it's important is because it isn't true that they all want to kill us. Some Islamic groups, such as Hamas, are really only focused on Israel. They haven't ever attacked the US directly. Their only beef with us is that we support Israel, but they are not dedicated to our destruction.

I'm not defending them, or their actions, but saying that they are all our enemies is simplistic. And thinking that we can stop them all by force is naive.

We certainly can't stop the people who attacked us on 9/11 by fighting some other group of people who had nothing to do with that attack.
