There is an effective military strategy for dealing with milttant resistance within an indiginous population. That japanese militarists, if they didnt invent it, used it efficiently and ruthlessly in China before and during WWII. They called it "the three alls". . . "Burn All Destroy All. Kill All." Ruthless but very effective.
What liberals and jihadists need to know and be reminded of, is that if the current "nice guy" approach of GWB (democracy; surgical military opposition to terrorism) fails, America will not go softly into the good night of Islamic fundamentalism and their terrorist ambitions.
America and Israel, must and will, first, resort to crude use of overwhelming force, when the next round of 9/11 style attacks arrives.
The sooner either of our countries demonstrates to the world that that is where they are prepared to go when diplomacy fails, the sooner an end will be found to the terror. For all of our handwringing over "civilian casualties" history makes clear that war ends only when one side is truly defeated, and that ultimately real adversaries (not proxy fights like the French in Algeria) will exhaust total force available to them before yeilding (e.g. Dresden, Stalingrad, Nagasaki)
Clinton is/was merely the manifestation of liberal ideology -- expedience without principle, ineffective, hopelessly misdirected, and ready to blame anything and anyone but themselves for failure. If America again chooses liberalism, it will be choosing suicide.

"America will not go softly into the good night of Islamic fundamentalism and their terrorist ambitions." Don't delude yourself, if the likes of Berger, Albright, and the current crop of liberal bilgespittlists (known collectively as the democrat party) happen to dupe enough voters and get back into power, they will be more feckless than the French in dealing with terrorists who are obviously way smarter than they are. If Americxa is to survive this current war, the democrap party will have to be rejected for the vernminous anti-american fools they are. But do you see that happening? I don't, because too many Americans are fool enough to think the democrats would be better for this nation than the resolute now in office. Fools and their Republic are soon parted.
fyi
