re: Depends on how you look at it. You could call the pre-invasion Afghan government system institutionalized terrorism.

It's more likely to be called Islamic <very> fundamentalism.

re: But I still have the conclusion that the way to eliminate Islamic terrorists is to democratize Islamic countries.

Wave the magic wand and "poof", democracy. Look at Iraq, it's a crazy quilt of competing interests, and in the end (which could be a long time coming) it will probably resemble Iran or worse the Taliban... or it could be three separate waring countries. The thing it's not going to look like is a western democracy; that's a neo fantasy (Hell even the neo's have abandoned that fantasy).
