you asked what happens after Iraq, the answer is nothing. A fanatical terrorist is not going to step back and ask himself why hes fighting a group of people who just "rebulit" dictatorship, he is going to ask why his family was killed in the war.

Iraq is a meaningless badge of our "war of Terror" which will give us no long term results.

Terrorism cannot be fought by killing terrorist wholesale, the root of the problem must be discovered and dealt with. The peopl of the thrid world have serious and legitimate greviences against the US and many other Western powers. A terrorist is not born because Saddam Hussain is in power, ratherhe is born because of the dire straights his area of the world is in (these dire straights also lead to men like Saddam hussain being in power).

Terrorism will be solved when there is no one willing to blow themselves up anymore. This will only happen when 1)all the candidates for terrorism are dead or 2) when these people find themselves not in the situation where exploding yourself is a sane option. When the first world begins to treat the third world with decency perhaps peace is obtainable.
