IF we were beloved in the middle east by any part of the muslim population, I'd think your arguments would be considerably more valid. We're not popular in the Muslim world, because we refuse to sanction the annihilation of Israel. As long as we're unwilling to sanction the destruction of Israel, we'll continue to be hated, and they will be able to find people willing to die to try to hurt us.
Now, for an example, if there are 1,000 people now who want to hurt us, are we safer if we kill 900 of the less intellegent ones, or if we leave the full thousand in the field? It's much easier to stop 100 people than 1,000. Now apply that to the actual numbers of Jihadis out there, and tell me we're LESS safe after killing a bunch of them off than we are NOT killing a bunch of them off. Can you do that with a straight face?
