Don, I like your post and if you check back, I have been making that same point on thread after thread and post after post for the past week.

My best hope is that those advising Bush are understanding of the fact that the body of the beast must be destroyed and not the head, because terrorism is a multi-headed beast. We must work to cutoff the supply of money, the support, the places to train, and the places to hide. We can only accomplish this through worldwide approval and a coalition of governments willing to dry up the terrorist supply lines. None of this necessarily involves any form of all out attacks militarily. This is a "war" of stealth and pressure. It is also a marathon and not a sprint.
