I agree with your general point. But I think for now you would agree that while the attack that got the US into the War on Terror was as bad as the attack that got the US into WWII, the enemy in WWII accomplished a good bit more evil than this enemy has to this point.

Also it is easier to say that a political philosophy should be outlawed than to say a religion should be banned. This is particularly true of a nation founded partly to allow people to be free to practice the religion of their choice.

So I would guess that we the Islamofascists accomplishing as much evil as the national socialists did, there would be more will to stamp them out. This is not to say this group now is not as evil or vile as the group from the 1930s and 1940s, but they are not as effective YET and are harder to target because they are not entire nations. But if Islam continues down the road it has been on, the public in general may decide it like national socialism has to be stamped pretty much out.

Meanwhile, in an effort to foster a cease-fire, U.S. and coalition forces have agreed to curtail some patrols in the volatile south-central Iraqi cities of Kufa and Najaf, where they have faced off against the militia of a Shiite Muslim cleric for weeks.

Iraqi police patrols will replace the U.S.-led coalition forces in the central parts of the two neighboring Shiite cities.

Adnan al-Zurufi, governor of Najaf province, instructed his police chief Friday to begin deploying police officers in the cities. One of Shiite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr's demands for a cease-fire was that Iraqi forces replace coalition troops.

However, coalition patrols will continue on the periphery of the adjoining towns.

====================
Once we retreated from Victory in Fallujah, the enemy saw this and liked it. They are now Emboldened and will recreate the same situation in every town in Iraq.

The problem is that it is the terrorist faction of Iraq that, in every instance, are claiming victory and taking control of these cities.

Every time we retreat from Victory -
We are taking Iraq from Saddam and giving it to Osama.
