First and foremost the idelology of militant Islam must be weeded out. But this is going to be very hard, considering Iraq is in a sea of such ideology. Another problem is political correctness. Taking action against those practicing militant Islam is not seen viable by the US, because it fears it willl look like a war against Islam. There are two more things the US need to do, as discussed by a former military official on Fox News. It needs to stop relaying on technology and do stuff the old fashioned way, and get better intelligence. Finally, an IDF officer in the early period of the war in Iraq said that the US needs to stop worrying about how it is looked on TV around the world, and do what is necessary both for getting the terrorists and protecting its troops.

This is why we cannot ever win given the present situation of intentional weakness. Every Muslim imam/leader who urges on violence against the coalition, whether in mosque or public must be arrested and sent to Guantanamo, with brutal force used against his followers if they dare revolt with weapons. When mosque "prayers" are hard to distinguish from terror training sessions, it is time to shut them down. Also, it must be stated categorically that Iraq can never have Sharia law as part of its constitution.

Imagine if the US had fought WWII with TV in mind. I am dismayed that fallulah (sp) is still in existence.
