| How do we win? We win by letting these extremist mosques spout their BS for all the world to hear. We win by not compromising on our beliefs of freedom, equality, democracy, etc. We win by not lowering ourselves to the level of our enemies. We win by going on with our day to day lives without giving them any undo attention. In the case of militant Islamic radical groups ignoring the problem will make it go away. By not giving them any attention they are unable to get their message out and can not bring in new members, their leaders die off and we never hear from them again.
The difference between Iraq and say... World War II is that in WWII we were actually threatened and had a need to act, Iraq doesn't threaten the US and Al Qaeda threatens the safety and security of Americans, not America. Lacking the will to endlessly fight a war that can't be won by military means against an enemy that poses no threat to America doesn't make us weak, it makes us responsible. Since apparently reversing fifty years of foreign policy that turned us into the bad guys and actually trying to overthrow brutal dictators as opposed to prop them up has only made things worse.
