We should have already been ripping up Iran's and Syria's military and political infrastructure as long as suicide bombing in Iraq and Israel continues. Pakistan and Saudi Arabia would be put on notice.

Are we not at war?

That's not possible politically, and would be counterproductive to pro-democracy movements in Mohammedan countries. Additionally, Musharraf has been a half-decent ally. We shouldn't be doing Saudi Arabia any favors, though.

"Pakistan and Saudi Arabia would be put on notice."

In neither of these countries are we going to EVER get more pro-US governments than the ones that are in power now. A decent % of their people HATE us. Destabilizing or removing said governments, imperfect as they are, would be a disaster unless we are going to depopulate said countries, which we will not do.
