>>>A premise here is that freedom and democracy will be a stronger ideology than fascism<<<


It always has been in our opinion and in the opinion of many muslims for that matter. Problem is that the strategy you and Bush believe in requires 100% of all muslims to believe in it. Once you achieve that goal you will have defeated Muslim fascism in the mideast and elsewhere. Does it appear to you as if Muslims around the world rally around our cause and around our military invasion and occupation of one of their countries? Again, unless you get all of them onboard your strategy has failed. There are 1,000,000,000 Muslims in the world and the 9/11 attack was executed by 19 of them.


>>>and your strategy for winning the war on terror is...?<<<


I think the odds of defeating terrorism with military force are as long as the odds of defeating those who spray graffiti on overpasses with military force. They're both small, angry factions of society that blend in with the masses and the only way to eliminate them (imo) is to get to the root of what sets them off.
