This war is a war to destroy the economy and infrastructure.
The targets will not be normal military war targets.
The targets will be those things that can cause disruption to the economy, cost dollars and lives, etc.

This "war" is non-existent.

A war is against something that has a nation.
A war ends with the defeat of that nation.
If our nation were serious about stopping terrorism,
we would have declared war on Afganistan.

No declaration of war is an indication that
something other than the eradication of terror is the goal.
The passage of the Patriot Act is a strong indicator
of the true objective of our leaders.

The real target of this "war" is our freedom,
and the enemy doesn't have a towel on his head.

"If our nation were serious about stopping terrorism, we would have declared war on Afganistan"

Tactically worthless and legally crippling. That's why Bush didn't ask for it. The rest of your post is psycho-babble.

Tell that to the victims of 9-11.

I agree we need to be careful to safe guard our liberties, but ignoring people who want us dead, is stupid.
