Wow, that was a LONG post, and one that really highlights all points of the conflict, I really don't have an answer to it right now, I will have to think about one, and when I do think of one I doubt it will be as long and wise as your post, though I will strive to come as close as I can.
"An eye for an eye makes everyone blind."
I see what you're saying and I can understand it, the US shouldn't kill 5000 civilians to avenge the WTC attack, the ideal thing to do would be to kill 1 terrorist, Osama Bin Laden, the root of the problem, he's their "charismatic" leader, Al-Qaida might be many little independent cells of terrorists, but they're sure going to find it harder to cooperate and recruit new people with their leader gone, the problem with this entire conflict is that there is no solution which isn't a small victory for Bin Laden, if he gets shot he becomes a martyr for those who wish to see America fall, if he dosen't get shot he continues his terrorism, if he gets captured he becomes a martyr, what can be done? Nothing, except for one thing, fighting with peaceful means, America aiding muslim countries would for example show those muslims who support Bin Laden that America does not wish to see the death of all muslims, dropping ONLY food and not bombs on Afghanistan is one of the things that could be done, ack, this didn't really turn out as a good post, did it? Sorry, it's midnight here in Denmark so it's hard for me to write anything logical and sensible, I'll try to write something better tomorrow.
