you obviously don't understand.. to declare war on people means to kill people. That's all well and good.
to delcare war on terror leaves you with nothing to kill... only something to add to.
You can't stop terror. No matter how many people you can kill or "turn their hearts" there will ALWAYS be more. You can't galavant around the world stepping on toes to try to stop this great big "terror" and not piss people off.
You know the phrase "you can't please all of the people all of the time"? It's true.
A big chunk of the world hated the US before this.... now.... almost the entire planet doesn't like the US... or at least, what it's doing. Most disagree.
Are your intentions to stop terrorism or to create it?
You can't stop a reaction no matter how much you want to kill the person who might have it.
