What is the best course to follow in the war on terror?

Hearts and minds.  We need to fight terrorism, but not how we fight nations.  Veitnam has taught us nothing.  We need to fight with money and good will, not bombs and bullets.  America needs to clean up and improve these peoples lives.  The make 5 dollars a month in some of these places, that is not enough to live on.  Not only that but they have tons of people telling them what to think.  We need to show them how we are.  \n\nIn Iraq, instead of blazin though the country on tanks, we needed to go through slowly, taking the ports and the southern tip of the country.  We rebuild everything before we move on.  So what they would see is Sadam become crazy and powerless.  I am 100% sure that he would have lost his peoples trust even more on his own.  If we went though bit by bit and set up clean water, hospitals, food, and an economy, who would have really wanted to face us as we came in.  There would have been tons of cheering and very few shoots fired.  Instead we made the country into a big shit sandwhich and now we have to take a bite.\n\nSo I feel that hearts and minds is the way to go.  It will take longer than wipping the countries off the map, but then we cant become that.

My question is why would you want that?\nBut I think you should find a local anti-US terrorist group, tell on them and ask for that in return.

Yes, a very valuable lesson, kill every Islamic Extremist before he kills you. They can't be reasoned with, they can't be placated, and we can't worry what other policy of the United States may offend these Extremists. The lesson is we need to exterminate every Islamic Extremist who threatens the United States...Looks like your question was right-on//////

It is not worth it, nor was it ever worth it. We call this the "War on Terror", yet we have yet to go after those responsible for 9/11. All these lives lost, families ruined, money spent and we haven't accomplished a dang thing.

You must be prepared to follow higher up's orders, and this could inclulde killing or annihilating everything in your path be it men, women or children. Not that I would judge you only God knows what I'd do with a gun in my hands in wartime situation.  You must have a true cause I believe to do this and be a true warrior.

Of course! Don't forget than Osama Bin Laden was trained in the USA in the early 80's. The american government needed a motive to declare the so-called "war against terrorism". And to succeed that it sacrificed its own people...

Just save your life and Run . That is a better way of doing this. Serve your country is good but occupying other country is bad. Humanity VS. Quick Money hey?  Please think of your family and don't risk your life. Let the Iraqis and Afghans kill their own terrorists. You save your life for you and your family and if your country is attacked defend it. Don't go for a war which was based on a pure lie " Weapons of Mass Destruction",. Remember? USA had given Saddam and Taliban all those guns to fight USSR and Iran back in 80's. Think. Don't waste your young-hood and energy. You won't be serving your country. You will be attacking others to expand the Oil companies over our lives

The war on terror will probably never come to a complete and absolute victory regardless of who is sitting in the White House.  As long as there are haters of freedom and democracy there are apt to be terrorists.  \n\nPresident Bush warned us that this was going to be a protracted war.  He wasn't lying about that.

Yes, and I think we need more help from other countries too.  I think that if we put a huge mass of boots on the ground and overwhelm the terrorists, that would be the way to go.  I think that we should systematically start from the top of Iraq and fight our way down and wipe out the terrorists.

Start physical training TODAY. Running would be best. \n\nLearn some basic military close order drill, like facing movements (left face, about face, etc.)\n\nDon't go crazy with short buzz hair cut.\n\nBe prepared to be yelled at. You're going to put up with some BS.\n\nDon't forget to STUDY. You're going to have a lot of information thrown at you.\n\nRemember to turn on the "game" when you step into the academy and turn it off when you leave. I mean your family and friends really don't want to be shown all the great tricks you're going to learn in unarmed defense class.

1) Track down the individuals directly responsible for 9/11 and remove them from the planet. The cheapest way possible, for instance - bullets are cheap.\n\n2) Review foreign policy, in particular monetary aid and cut off the bastard countries that hate us.\n\n3) When applicable - Fix the problems in our foreign policy that make no sense anyway. If it only serves a minority and pisses off a majority, It's gone.\n\n4) Use the patriotism generated after the attack to justify deportation of religious radicals from the country. (like Pat Robertson and that ahmed'whatcha call it guy)\n\n5) Outlaw all forms of government lobbying; They may not use money and can only use jellybeans.\n\n6) Write an executive order that states no politician can serve more than one term - no exceptions. No political term can be longer than 4 years.\n\n7) Executive order: Make contributions by entities other than citizens illegal and limit the amount to $5,000 per year to one  political party or candidate.\n\n8) Give weapons to citizens with land on US borders, teach them how to use them safely and give them license to shoot at whatever moves across our border illegally.

Jade, this question is about fighting terror, not about how much you and that idiot Michael Moore hate the president. No one gives a damn if you don't like Bush, and just because you let Moore's nonsense delude you doesn't give you any particular insight.\n\nAmrinder, just be vigilant. What this means is, find out what's going on around you. Terrorists thrive on ignorance, so don't fall victim to lethargy or to the opinions of the half-witted. Make sure that others around you are vigilant also; point things out, raise questions when things you see around you don't make sense.\n\nRemember when you first learned that the 9/11 terrorists had taken flying lessons, but that they told their instructor they wouldn't need to learn to take off or land? If someone had asked questions, raised the issue with others, maybe even confronted them, maybe 9/11 would be just like any other day.
