Conventional military invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Who's doing that? And now we've forced the militants into, ONCE MORE, having to attack muslims in order to force their Islamo-Fascist belief systems upon them. They key to fighting this war is DENYING Al Qai'da, and their other Islamo-Fascist partners, the ability to SOLELY FOCUS their attacks upon Western nations, but making them have to fight Muslims as well. Were we to strictly leave this as a "law enforcement" issue, we would be denied the ability make the greater Muslim community recognize that these militants are just as willing to kill fellow Muslims as they are the "infidel" westerners. And I cannot overemphasize this point enough. Look at 9/11.. we saw Arabs cheering in the streets as a result of that attack. But do we see Arabs cheering over the attacks perpetrated against other Muslims?? No. And this is a significant strategy in undermining the political credibility of the Islamo-Fascist ideology.Then what do you cite, WWII and the Marshall Plan [if you knew that's what you were citing.] You're still stuck in WWII along with the rest of the Administration. So the concept is antiquated now, is it?? Just not "modern" enough for you, eh?? No room for economic and political development programs in your quiver of unrevealed alternative strategies?WASHINGTON - The number of terrorist attacks documented by U.S. intelligence agencies jumped sharply in 2005, crossing the 10,000 mark for the first time, according to U.S. counterterrorism officials and documents obtained by Knight Ridder Newspapers. And where were the majority of these attacks? They certainly were NOT in the United States, or even Europe. Hawk
