That's a valid point I wish more people would make. If you want to convince the "Arab street" to denounce terrorism, light up the Arab street. If they think we're going to quit bombing them when the terrorists stop killing people, maybe they'll convince the terrorists to stop killing people.

I don't care if we convince the people or not. If they are dead they cant fight any more. We are in this for the long term. They 1.5 Billion and we have 300 Million. A 1 for 1 strategy and we lose big time. I has to be 100 to 1 or 1000 to 1. Are you willing to wait until your praying outside your kids school for some crazed Muslim not to kill your kids? I am not! I am willing to die with a guilty conscious so that my kids can live peacefully and not have to make those choices themselves.

So what are you going to do? Find out which cities those ten terrorists came from and bomb them? You think we should have bombed the cities the 9/11 terrorists came from instead of cleaning up Afghanistan and Iraq? Sorry, I go with cleaning up the breeding grounds (ie Afghanistan) and drying up their support.
