What Americans believe is pretty well irrelevant in stopping terrorism. It's what Muslims think that will stop it.
Terrorise the terrorists into submission is some peoples answer. The Muslim terrorist believes that if he's fighting in a Jihad he will go straight to heaven and sit with Allah with his 20 virgins.
OK, it's a crazy belief, but it's what you're fighting against. Israel has used terror for nearly half a century, has it stopped the Palestinians from strapping bombs to themselves and walking into Jewish shopping centres or onto buses?
Bush screwed up BIG time in Iraq and most of the world KNOWS it. How long it takes some Americans to realise that is anyone?s guess. Some still thing the US was right to go into Vietnam and that they did not lose that war.
A patriot loves his country and wants others to love it as well, he does not want people to fear it.
