The problem becomes we are screwed if we do, screwed if we don't. If we start carpet bombing radical islamic reigons, we prove their point that we are the "evil west" If we sit back and garner strength, we end up fighting a much greater war later on. Beyond that we let ourselves become fodder for"The west is afraid of us, we have them on the on the run, we must attack more." I really believe a 1/3 of the country is going to hate whatever we do. The other 1/3 has no clue and won't care either way.
My big problem is, it's breaking down into a party plan. Each party supports a difffrent plan and far too many people in each party are simply defending their parties plans without actually considering the impacts now and in the future. We need a bipartisian plan with give and take from both sides. We are already accomplishing what the terrorists want, dividing the country by ourselves. We to busy fighting in our own government, trying to win senate seats and congressionial seats to actually do anything about the problem. Many policies recently have been all about promoting ones own political party as opposed to promoting what is actually good for the country.
