How about if we try waging an aggressive peace for a change.
If 'war on terror' could be effective, the number of terror attacks would have decreased over the last 4 years. Instead, the numbers have been increasing exponentially.
The hard, cold facts, evidence and data is telling us that we are doing exactly the WRONG thing to stop terrorism.
Facts speak for themselves. At the end of the day, you cannot dispute the documented results of your actions.

Terror is the flavor of the moment it was not so long ago highjacking planes was the terrorist method and up to a point the world has beat that and the world has to again get together and defeat terror. It cannot be left to a few countries it must be the lot.~~

Yes. We must have the zeal and determination greater than those who oppose us. I do not know how else it is possible to win unless we go wide open, because we are so committed as a country. Let me put it this way, if you lose someone to this war, weather the September 11th bombings, or the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan, there is no better way to make sure those that have gone before us did not waste their time. I do not agree how the wars have been managed, nor do I agree with our diplomatic approach, but we are in this thing now. In my opinion we need to go wide open, scorch, scuff and smoke some *** and make the terrorist fear our wrath and wonder where we are looking to go next. I mean make their life miserable, they would be in U.S. hell no matter the cave or mountains they hide in. Why? Because they killed our loved ones. It should be like those big rural families, 7 boys and 3 girls back in the day; you killed one of their "Youngins", everybody look at that person, get him a drink and tell him....what do you want on your tombstone? Cause when "Paw" hears about this he is goin to come in here with his posse!!

I guarantee you that if only 75% of this country would back this war and let the President do what he needs to do this thing would be over in no time. But, the fact is that we don't have the guts for fighting anymore and at least half of this country are not willing to sacrifice anything for anyone.
Remember, the President said at the beginning of the war on terror, that he did not know if the people in this country would have the stomach for the long haul.
We could not win most of the wars we have fought with today's political climate. (Below are some examples)
Revolutionary War only one third supported the war and so few citizens were joining in the fight that we resorted to getting immigrants right off the boats and promising them land to fight. The Democrats would never let that happen today!
WWII we were completely bankrupt and people were living in absolute poverty, but we kept hacking away at them and getting our boy's killed. Not only would the Democrat's today not let that happen, they would never let us drop atom bombs on Japan to end it all.
Civil War the majority of the people from the North hated Lincoln, and wanted to just let the south go, but they kept plugging away to secure our unity. There is no way that war would have succeeded today due the sacrifice of life the soldiers had to deal with and the sacrifice of home and money that the families had to deal with.

The war on terror is a fallacy my friend. Bush and his cronies just want world domination at any cost.
We will all bare witness to the war to end all wars and watch these people finally carry out scorched earth!

What does “all out” mean? Whom would we attack and how? We haven’t even been able to capture Osama and he was allegedly responsible for the worst hostile attack on our soil. Radical extremist terrorists exist practically everywhere on the planet.
It sounds good to say one should be aggressive and tough but the reality is that fighting terrorists requires sophisticated thinking and a variety of effective techniques.
Otherwise, it’s just a lot of talk, bluster and an embarrassing and dangerous lack of results.

I believe if we are going to fight a war, then we need to let our military fight the war. We hold back nothing, and let no one walk on us. We have too many who are afraid to stand for what we believe.

If we fought the islamonazis like we fought the original Nazis back in WWII, America would have been victorious before Bush made his infamous "mission accomplished" statement. So yes, we ought to.
