<<"If it takes 50 years to diffuse terrorism in a manner that avoids slaughtering millions of innocents then so be it">> Damn nice of you to believe it will be just dandy for more like 9/11 as long as no Afgan civies happen to die. Want a plane ticket over there, one way of course, for you and your family??? It may be safer if many would think like you..

Hello Bill. You said....." If it takes 50 years to diffuse terrorism in a manner that avoids slaughtering millions of innocents then so be it."......

IMO the longer this thing takes the more likely that muslims of the world will view it as a failure of the USA
to win against the terrorist. If the muslim world senses a failure of the USA there will be many many more innocents killed right in the USA. I think at some point there must be a decisive and sudden stop to countries like Iraq, Afghanistan etc. It is most unfortunate that innocent people have to be killed no matter where they are but it may be necessary it may just be the price for freedom to win.
