Wrong, wrong, and wrong. Your thinking is old school, states
v. states, and
does not recognize the destructive potential of non-state
actors in a world
with WMDs and other tools of asymmetric warfare. It is a war
against our
political system, against our social order, against our
economic system, and
against our culture- in short a war against our
civilization.
Too many people are totally blind, even now, to the fact
that these lunatics
don't want compromise, they don't want negotiated
surrender, they want to
destroy everything in the West and impose an Islamic
caliphate on the world.
