Unfortunatly to secure peace, one must prepare for war.
About dying for one's country/beliefs/ect ...
"No one ever won a war by dying for their country. You win by making the other poor b@$!@*ds die for theirs!!" ~ GEN George S Patton
So while their tactics are effective, terrorists fight a war of attrition that, unless they can keep their recruiting #s up, they will eventually loose. They are not fighting for their homes. One common worker defending his/her home is worth 10 professional soldiers. Empty rhetoric eventually runs out. (Big reason why we got our butts handed to us in a small Southeastern Asian backwater ...)
Now if only everyone could learn to play nicely in their own backyards, and not keep tossing the ball (hand grenade) over the fence .... things would be much better.
