Seems so obvious. Don't know why the reasons for it escape so many; namely, to punish the terrorist, to make the retribution swift and sure, to prevent him doing it again, to reduce enemy numbers and deter others.

Just as obvious to me, if you actually do not enjoy warfare and want to end it in the current millennium, you should also attack all those who aid and abet the terrorist just as unmercifully and unapologetically as you attack the terrorist himself -- Friends, family, neighbors and state sponsors alike. Of course, that would probably mean total war, but terrorists bring it on themselves.

And wouldn't it be nice to get it over with so we could live in peace for a change? Nobody wants this hanging over our kids' and grandkids' heads for a hundred years or more. Sure, we might lose. But we might also lose a never-ending war in which the enemy's principal strategy is to wear us down by throwing a long series of proxy terrorists at us.

Just my $0.02.

You and what army? Sounds like a recipe for getting thousands of conservatives clapped in prison or executed, and boosting the fortunes of the Democrats.
