Goofy name, "War on Terrorism." I understand why that phrase was chosen--to make the actual war more palatable.

The war is against messianic mediaevalists who control the planetary energy supply and who wish to bring their vision of Heaven-on-Earth to all of the dark lands of Satan. The dark lands of Satan would be "us."

In the long term the best way to defeat them is by encouraging them to embrace a new vision of humanity's relationship with God. One that respects individual liberty and education and rights of women, etc.

In the short term we kill any that are dangerous whenever we can.
