I hear you. The same could have been said for "winning" in Viet Nam. We didn't "kill them all" then and we won't do it now. After 58,000 + American dead and many more wounded we now can buy cargo shorts and what have you made in Vietnam in our local Target store.
The "war on terror" would have been better pursued if we would have done as the British did with the IRA. Treat the terrorists as the criminals that they are and pursue them as individuals instead of invading these countries and setting off a guerrilla war within them. Sad to say when we finally pull out of Iraq and Afghanistan in however many years it will be much the same waste as our previous fiasco in the Nam.Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.
