Look, the Muslim world does not "respect" us that would be violating their religion. Absent "respect" the only option is their abject fear of us.

I've been fumbling... you said it better.

If we handle Iraq correctly that point will be made decisively. Iraq could actually win the war on terror.

Disagree here, though. No matter how decisive our victory over Iraq, if we stop there, we delay the inevitable.

I'm of the opinion that "War on Terror" is a misnomer.

I was too lazy to finish my thought. I meant an end to the WOT not the end of terrorism. Confused yet? lol IMO I think when the nations that have feared their extremists more than they fear the soft old United States, see a complete decapitation of Iraq's present power structure and the Eagle looks at them with blood dripping from it's talons and asks "do you get the message?" they will be far less likely to play cute with us from that point on.
