Sparhawk,
Your scheme is essentially correct. I was addressing only the military aspects of managing the current situation.
I'm not sure I'd put the second part in terms of winning anyone's hearts and minds. But I know what you mean, I think. Could we just call it the diplomatic strategy?
In general though, sure enough. This campaign to secure the world against suicidal and apocalyptic terror must be waged on both military and diplomatic fronts.
My sense of how diplomacy is best conducted today is from a strong position of pragmatic self-interest and not from any sort of internationalist agenda.
