Then we can no longer call it a war on Terror and anyone who uses that term is being disengenuous.

I understand the position and would argue I fully understand that terrorists are not interested in peace any more then our President! It does not serve their agenda. I do believe that terrorists prey on the disenfranchised in thier populace and use them as tools in their system. How can we stop the supply of their tools? Ultimately that is how you defeat radical Islam, and I don't believe that should be achieved through extermination!
