It's a self-sustaining situation. In the modern world of Islam, every wack job you kill becomes a martyr (for no explainable reason) and this pushes 3-4 new people over the edge they were already very close to. And off they go into the world of Muslim fanaticism, where they will happily murder people for the glory of a God (Alah) that never asked them to murder to begin with and will damn them for eternity for it.

Ain't it fun?
Oh very.

the problem with fight a war on terror is, if you do hunt down every terrorist cell existing now, more will be created. All it takes is a bunch of brainwashed morons with a bit of training in blowing up cars, shooting rifles etc, and some one with a very dangerous mindset who plans these attacks, and you have a terrorist cell.
I really think the purpose of this war is to destory as many terrorists as humanly possible, and paralyze what groups that weren't destroyed so they cannot do anything to dangerous. Terrorisim will exist forever, it can though be very dangerous to oneself to become on, such as terrorists hunted in every nation on earth, no training camps that aren't attacked, no assests that aren't seized, no support from any religoius groups nothing. We may not be able to get rid of them completly but we can stop them from being as much of a threat as they are now.

There isn't a way to end these attacks. Let's just face it, there is NO way to end terrorism. Ever heard this, you can kill the people, but you can't kill an idea.

If we give up and leave them to their own devices, then the terrorists of today become the leaders of tomorrow. Best stop the thing now before tomorrow comes and it's impossible to stop.

I don't think there will be a last stand. These cowards over in Iraq will probably just keep recruiting people to blow themselves up.

Good article IG. At least it was upbeat in the conclusion. I already see the Iraqi military becoming more proficient with all the US and Allied training. Fortunately the best forces in the present day world are spread across the Country establishing training camps. I just hope the coalition holds.

I also believe they will stay with the Guerrilla warfare, but when the time comes who knows, they could pull out something drastic, i guess we will wait and see.

Yeah, Rabs, too bad they figured it out.

Every time they mass we just blow them away. If you look at any major engagemnet by Iraqi forces it's been an overwhelming American victory.

You can shoot at some thin-skinned humvees but the second the Abrams and the Cobra gunships show up... it's time to meet your maker. An RPG isn't going to put a dent in that.
