That "sharp sword" has _really_ done well so far!

Indeed. Toppling two regimes, wiping out 80% of the leadership of a
global terror organization and freeing 50,000,000 people from
totalitarian governments.

To what end? A mission accomplished? I don't like the idea of a war on
terrorism - it gives the warlord a never ending supply of enemies. There can
never be an end to such a war. We definitely need to look at the log in our
own eye on this issue, i.e. why are we a target?

Why are we a target? You mean other than a 12th century culture
clashing headlong with a 21st century one, while the warlords and
fundimentalists drive the Jihad for their own personal power base and
enrichment?
