Wrong, wrong, and wrong. Your thinking is old school, states v. states, and does not recognize the destructive potential of non-state actors in a world with WMDs and other tools of asymmetric warfare. It is a war against our political system, against our social order, against our economic system, and against our culture- in short a war against our civilization.
Too many people are totally blind, even now, to the fact that these lunatics don't want compromise, they don't want negotiated surrender, they want to destroy everything in the West and impose an Islamic caliphate on the world.
