You're causing some confusion with semantics. First, the bush administration has many convinced that terrorism is a nation of people rather than a tactic employed as a tool of war. Second, enemy combatants become POWs in order to no longer be combatants. However, with the suspension of habeas corpus thousands of men and boys were rounded up and imprisoned as enemy combatants so to skirt international law.

You ask how should we deal with a culture that is bent on the destruction of your culture as a fundamental tenet? I bet people of the Soviet Union asked that same question during the McCarthy era. But what culture are you referring to, exactly? Are you of the opinion that the entire Muslim culture is out to destroy us?
