Al-Qaeda can be stopped, it must be stopped, but the key to deterring international terrorism comes from denying them sanctuary and access to the means to disrupt and destroy the sometimes rather delicate edifice of Western civilization.
A thousand years from now, whatever ragged and wretched remnants of al-Qaeda or its successors stil exist, shall tremble in their tents and caves, when they hear an approaching airship, thinking it would be an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle or perhaps a B-36, returning with a bunker buster or daisy cutter. For America shall become the tool in the Hand of Allah, the mighty Hammer in His Fist, come to smite the unholy and apostate, again and again until they shall finally embrace the true meaning of their faith.
