We must destroy their symbols. [Photos of the El-Aksa mosque on the Temple Mount and the Kaba building in Mecca.]
That was pretty much my original take on the matter, too.

The Muslim terrorists will not stop until they realize that the War is too costly. Since they frame their war as a Jihad, and they present no "return address" we may have to attack some icons of the Muslin world.
Let me suggest some:
1. Sieze the Gulf oil fields. Nothing will take the wind out of the sails of the Muslim Arab world faster than this.
2. Impose a Carthaginian peace on Afghanistan to make it an example to other nations such as Syria or Iraq of the cost of harboring these people [Let no stone rest upon another. Sow the land with salt. Etc.]
3. Tear down some of their holy places: Dome of the Rock, El Aksa, the Kaaba, the Great Mosque of Mecca. They don't hesitate to destroy any holy place of another religion, as illustrated by their recent destruction of the Great Bhudda of Afghanistan or their recent conversion of Jacob's tomb to a mosque.
Our present course of action of chasing bin Laden will only give us a small victory. It will not end the War.
Stay tuned. You'll see.
