Ah, the crux of the problem! You see contrary to what you see on TV like "America's New War", or on the main page of this site "We Are At War" we are not at war. War demands that people die, property destroyed, and I'm not talking about a few dozen here and there and 5 or 6 airports. America and most of the rest of the industrialized world will not fight a war, why cause people die and that is no longer acceptable to the citizens. How many times during WW I and WW II did we air drop food to hundreds of thousands of civilians? What is up with rebuilding Afganistan, or any other thrid world country for that matter? Can't be done, not in a million years, if you've ever been to one you know that. Nope, we don't have intestinal fortitude to fight. IMO if your gov't wants to harbor terrorists or commit acts of war against other countries, you better get ready to bear the brunt of the retaliation, because I'd hammer the hell out of your government and you until you saw that you or your gov'ts actions cost way too much. Then the people would be motivated to change the gov't. Americans will never get through those thick skulls that those people want them dead at any price, we don't have what it takes to put a stop to it mentally. Syria had some problems with terrorists/fundamentalists a number of year ago, mos tof the activity was based out of a town called Hama. The Syrian gov't went in killed everyone and burned the place to the ground, then said "see what that got you? If you want to keep it up this is what you'll get", pretty much end of problem. That's how you get rid of terrorists.
