Agree. BUT (and isn't there always a but) This thing could fall apart just as fast as it's come together. We've been on a roll since 9-11, and pretty much had our way, I don't expect the radicalss to take it lying down. At some point they going to strike back hard. Maybe not here, but somewhere a lot of people are going to die because of these...people(?).
Yes, lots of things could go wrong, but we've avoided the main threat thus far: Losing our will to protect the people long enough for the seeds of freedom to sprout and take hold.
And yes, terrorists will be a problem for some time to come.
But if we read Bush's major policy statements since 9/11, we can see that he is calling upon the only forces stronger than this threat: truth and freedom and inalienable rights written on every human's heart.
This is a flowery way to say that we do not have to police and micromanage the globe in order to stop terrorism. Liberty is a more potent force than the totalitarianism of the radical Islamicists.
