By this statement alone one may also consclude that what we do (or not do) may have no affect on the terrorists. They are of a mindset that is not going to change whether we kill them all or send them a fruit basket.
I don't subscribe to the passivist role as a solution. They may be just as pissed at us either way.
Success also means 20 dollar oil and many other economic opportnities.
As Dennis Miller says, It's only my opinion, but I could be wrong.

A large portion of the Pentagon etc's war strategies are now based on game theory, which was 'perfected' during the Cold War... a so-called war with two combatants, the US and Russia.
Middle eastern nations, especially Muslim fundamentalists, do NOT respond to these theories in the same manner that the Russians would have during the Cold War, that is obvious...
Interesting war games report was released recently...
the US appointed one of it's more imaginative generals to run the Iraq side. They reset the wargame and fired the general once 2 aircraft carriers went down to guys in jetboats packed with shaped charge explosives.
They said "that's not in the rules!"
