top priority. While there's many that dislike the US, the leaders
give them the intellectual capital and organization to act.
2.) True, but for those we miss, we should understand why and shore up
that weakness.
3.) That's exactly the point - we need to make it hard for them to say
they dislike us, and even harder for them to oppose helping us. We
have to back them into a moral corner and force them to either endorse
civility or terrorism. Given that choice, most countries have no
choice but to help.
The problem with the Iraq invasion is that is eliminated that corner.
Now countries can legitimately oppose the US and still have the moral
high ground. It is a diplomatic disaster for the "war on terrorism".

1.) We've captured or killed quite a few Al Qaeda leaders....problem
is, i think they are readily replaced
2.) We've uncovered or disrupted quite a few Al Qaeda related
plots....problem is, for every one we find, there are 10 we dont.
3.) I wonder if a lot of these countries disliked the US before the
Iraq invasion....and its just a lot easier for them to say it now.
