That guy is not the main reason at all. He is but a player in a sea of militant Islamic ideology. Eliminating him, will not eliminate the terror and murder against Americans. The Militant Ideology of Islam must be targetted, the ideology which is brainwashing people, etc. throughout the Arab and Islamic world - causing them to take up arms, with government approval and support, and go to Iraq to murder Americans. Until that happens, it won't matter how many terrorists are killed or caputred in Iraq by US forces. This ideology, spread by Islamic and Arab governments, their mosques, their schools, their media, etc. must be declared enemy, first of all, and then targetted using economic and military means.

Correct, the mosques which preach the extremist doctrines must have their feet held to the fire at all times.. that is the only way to solve this issue

I agree with you but problem is that U.S. administration does not seem to recognize that this is a religious/cultural war. I think deep/down Bush knows it is but he has to tow the P.C. line. Islam has declared war against the West.

You're absolutely right!
