I strongly agree with you on sending special forces to the known hideouts and capture the terrorists and if anyone gets on the way then.. well.. thats too bad for those people! My point is this new war requires new war tactics. Terrorism needs to be answered with terrorism. The primary objective should be to terrorize the terrorists instead of just dropping a bunch of bombs on them (for which they want us to do in order to make a bunch of dead heroes out of them, and for every one of them dying in this manner 10 other psychopaths will take their place). The problem is we are used to fighting our fights face to face, and never shoot the enemy with its back toward us. Terrorists on the other hand deploy the tactics of shooting in the back. This is dirty war, but if we are to win this war, we have to adopt the same dirty tactics. We have to hit and run like they do without them knowing it was US that hit them. We talk about punishing those states that support terrorism (the likes of Iran, Lybia, etc.). Militaristic actions against them in the long term would not be effective unless we eliminate them from the face of the planet totally. Attacking in a militaristic manner will only create more antagonism among a bunch of psychopaths who under the name of God and religion would do anything to take revenge. What would be more effective (in addition to the hit-and-run tactics without them know who it was) when it comes to punishing state sponsored terrorism, is to financially destroy them (such as flooding the markets with their currency, counterfeit currency, and other dirty financial tactics that will destroy the very fabrics of their financial infrastructures). And again we should do this without them realizing who it was that did this to them. I agree with Bush that this is going to be a long tough war. Not because it is going to be difficult for us to win, but simply because we are not used to fighting dirty.
