Here's another way of looking at it.

The U.S. and Britain have aggressively ripped off your means of livelihood and are making your life more miserable than under the last tyranny. The citizens of the U.S. and Britain don't really understand how it is to be in a wore torn country because it is so remote from their peaceful, ordinary lives. By creating small (and I mean small when you count the number of people harmed by terrorist acts as opposed to military aggression), you make them aware of the violence you face every day. Thereby raising the awareness of the public of your plight.

Thats about as simple as it gets. I'm not saying its right, I'm just saying that right now, hunting for terrorists is futile. There are too many terrorists willing to die for the cause. Its not one, little hungry boy, Brucie; its tens of thousands of hungry children. And all of them have desperate family members.   

Seeking solutions is the only way.

Unfortunately, the U.S., under Bush, blew it with the U.N. and now the U.N. is busy with the fall-out from that horrible accident on the Korean border. Everyone seems to think that U.N. troops are limitless. There may be a few other hot spots around the world, too. Maybe Iraq isn't a top priority for the U.N.? Did anyone ever consider this?
