I personally think the more terrorists we kill the better.

Well, yeah. But part of the problem is that we can't bring ourselves to define the enemy.

Are terrorists civilians? They look and act like civilians, except when engaged in acts of terrorism. At that point, they briefly turn into unlawful combatants. But if you shoot them, some random British doctor could wander by and *poof* the terrorist is suddenly a poor civilian.

Terrorists aren't soldiers. They answer to no nation, wear no uniform, and change organizations at whim. But some terrorists are more organized than others. At what point do they become 'terrorists'? Waiting for them to act like terrorists will cost lives.

It's a very muddled problem, especially when no one seems willing to clearly define even the basics of this war.

I'm with on that sentiment.
