I think a lot of people fail to realize that the war and terrorism issue is more of a cultural war than anything.
Regardless of what you hear in the media and what the liberal masses try to scream, the terrorists do not mount these attacks because of the United States' foreign policy. That's merely an excuse to hide the fact that the terrorists hate us because we charge money for natural things like water and fruit. It's because of how our women dress, how we talk, things like MTV and our lifestyles.
They hate our capitalistic culture and they just hate western civilization as a whole, which is the real reason they are attacking Madrid and London as well.
Then many liberals and France think that we can win this by diplomacy or by throwing money at Islamic groups, when that is simply not true, and purely appeasement and creating more incentive for terrorists. borders need will never sit down at a summit meeting, nor will they stop if we change our foreign policy. On the same note, they would have began this war regardless of whether or not we began this current foreign policy that they complain about.
We need to continue to fight. We need to bring it to them. It's difficult because we are fighting a uniform-less enemy and we need to preserve the Islamic culture as best we can. But we can't sit on our thumbs. Sure, our borders need work, but we can tighten them as best we can, terror attacks are going to slip past the goalie regardless. We need to attack the source.
