You dont defeat terrorism..its impossible. That doesnt mean you dont fight it however, which you are suggesting.
Its a war that cant be won, but its one that must be fought, and sorry to offend you, but, i would rather the fight happens over there than over here. I guess since "they are used to it" it wont bother them anyhow.

Who said you don't fight it? There are more ways to fight something than roll the military into action. You can do so with special forces and better use of intelligence. You do so through education. Rolling a tank into the streets doesn't do a damn thing but p*ss people off and create more disenchantment and push more people toward the terrorist camp. Didn't we learn anything from the Soviet's failure in Afghanistan? The people must still have a say in the way things are done with in their own country, other wise they don't own the solution and will let it go.
And wasn't you that accused me of fear mongering? And then you come up with "but, i would rather the fight happens over there than over here." Wow. And if our Homeland Secuirty department does its job and properly screens people coming into the country, how do they take the battle to us here? And a very close minded statement in saying "I guess since "they are used to it" it wont bother them anyhow". No one anywhere enjoys indescriminent violence around them. And you accuse me of going off the deep end? Sheesh.
