In a different way but in the same regard meant in the book about the Vietnam war the same can be said for the desert dwellers of the middle east and thier war of a couple of thousand years. Some of these people know no other way of life, other than conflict. And they never have any expectation of living any other way!

Good point...for the most part you can't stop this kind of war through force alone.
Unfortunately for Uffah!! the liberal squishy stuff like women's rights, poverty and free trade are some of the most powerful issues that can be used to fight terrorisim.
