[FrayAdjacent911]

I think the war on terror is one that has many facets... not just going and killing jihadists, and toppling evil regimes... sure, those are parts of it... but it also comes in winning the minds and hearts of those who would or could be turned against us.

To me the problem is mostly people in poor countries under oppressive regimes have NOTHING, and either they want someone to blame, or someone comes along and promises them 76 virgins in heaven if they blow themselves up. Hey, they don't have much else to lose.

I think this war will go on for a long long time, but if it must, then it must. I do not want my children, or my children's children worrying about if the building they're in will be bombed, or if some asshat is going to strap a bomb to themselves and take out some infidels at the local Starbucks.
