no you can not beat terrorism by being reactive ---you have to hunt them down and destroy their very being ---Israel wanted to do that but again world opinion stopped them just like politics stop us ---in other words you can not just be there ----you have to declare war on terrorism and mean it ---go into any country that supports them ----or hide them ----you have to make it so terrorism does not pay ----and sponsoring or sheltering them does not pay ----

now we have a choice to make ---fight the terrorist in Iraq or let up and pull out and wait for them to regroup and come here ---our boarder are so vast that there is no way to guard them all ----

so instead of soldiers and Marines dying we can watch innocent women and children die here again ----yes I believe more troops should be send to Iraq ---but I think until the political bounds are let loose and let them do the job --it is a waste of time --except since we have been fighting terrorist over there ---there have been no major attacks here ----and it is not our increased security that has done it ---that is a joke ---
