Equally you can't defeat an idealogy , a way of life or a culture with tanks and planes and so-called smart bombs (tell that to the Afghan wedding party). Vietnam , Northern Ireland , Somalia , France in WWII , Palestine/Israel , Spanish Basque separatists , Kurd Nationalists in Turkey etc etc etc.

Do you have an idea to offer? Or just none at all?

Yes and no.You can't defeat terrorism with an army but there are another ways to follow.You can make people enemies of their own brothers and sisters with making a new ideology spread over them.Moreover,you can send your servants pretending one of them until they find the chance to destroy leaders of your enemies and make the rest weak.However,
all the ways I mentioned above are old and useless while there are more evil ways I don't want to mention here to stop
your enemies.

You don't understand.
They aren't. It's a magician's misdirection.
A revolution is starting in Islam, and we started it.
The oppressed millions in Islam are starting to realize that freedom CAN be theirs. They WANT it, but know that death is the price if they try on their own.
The fights you see going on, between Muslims, have been going on for centuries. Now there is a new player: Muslims for Freedom. That's recent.
Islam WILL accept freedom for it's people; freedom of religion, freedom of expression, equality, etc.
It will survive and join us in the 21st century, embracing the West (though certainly not always agreeing, as they must protect their own interests).
We'll cheer and dance in the streets on that day.
Interesting what gets them to dance in the streets and what gets us to dance in the streets are so different, isn't it?

Terrorism is a tactic...not a country...not a race..not a people...it is tactic used by people who have no conventional means of expressing their force/anger. I do agree convential millitary tactics and use will not get rid of it at all. There was something that worked a good deal against terrorism and that is law enforcment.

You also can't get anywhere diplomatically if you don't have the situation under some degree of control. They say there isn't a military solution. Of course. It's not purely military. But unless you can come up with a better way to go about it, then your criticism is meaningless.

We can't. That's already been proven time and again. But it's the nuts who *think* they can defeat terrorism militarily--those are the ones who are going to be gravely disappointed in the end.
"Why didn't this work?" They complain ten years down the road.
Well...DUH! I coulda told you that! lol

I have a better one than yours, when is the world going to see and understand that terrorism cannot and will never be defeated. It may be avoided/prevented but never defeated

Talking doesn't accomplish anything as well. Look what happened during WWII, all kinds of talking, but Hitler just didn't listen. We eventually took care of them with conventional weapons, same thing will happen in Iraq.

Uhhh... too bad i've already realized that before this war even started, just like you can't get rid of vietcong, kkk, bloods, crips, latin kings, ira. And as long as their are different religions, there will always be war.
