The inherent problem is that, although this is theoretically the solution, eliminating injustice (without getting into the topic of exactly what that term encompasses,) it may decrease anti-US sentiment among populaitons that are free enough to learn of what we are doing, but it will do nothing to stop a militant who believes that the only just way of life is a totalitarian theocratic state.

If you haven't done so already, the al-Quaeda training manual (http://www.tfproject.org/tfp/showthread.php?t=90135) that was foudn in the home of an arrested al-Quaeda member has been posted online by the Department of Justice, and gives an insight into what a terrorist thinks and how he acts. I know there is debate about the term, but I think you'll agree with me that what is describedi n this book qualifies as terrorism.

As upsetting as it is to see our soldiers dying, I cannot condemn Iraqi insurgents who attack only military targets as terrorists. Many of them are glad to see Saddam's government gone, but are unwilling to allow a foreign occupying force to control their country. As much as I hate many of the people who are running my country now, There is no doubt in my mind that I would take up arms against any foreign occupying force that threatened our soverignty. This is why our only hope in Iraq is to show those who want us gone that we will only be there until the country is self-sufficient and run by a legitimate government that will be safe from fringe groups who do not accept its legitimacy after we leave. I can't tell you how it can be done, I don't think that it will be easy, but I do think that it's our only chance.
