Acts of Terror are really crimes and can originate from any of thousands of radicals groups across a broad spectrum of ideologies, cultures, customs, races, religions, sexual orientations, genders, etc. The thousands of terrorist groups have no common denominator under which they can be organized or defined, like national origin, ideology, allegiance to a particular flag, member of a uniformed army, etc.
This is way it's so stupid to fight terrorism with a tool like war. War just will not fit that role any more than war would be the right tool to fight crime. The criminal element in society is just to fragmented, even in the more organized groups like the mafia. There is no unification of criminals into armies, and there is no supreme commander. There is no single army that can be defeated to bring its supreme commander to the table to negotiate a surrender. http://news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/september/8/newsid_3612000/3612037.stm http://www.law.ou.edu/ushistory/germsurr.shtml http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/events/wwii-pac/japansur/js-8.htm Regards, LelandJ Michael Madigan wrote: > What was the exit strategy from WWII? > > > > > --- Ed Leafe <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >> On May 18, 2007, at 5:25 PM, Jerry Wolper wrote: >> >> >>>> We still haven't pulled out from Germany >>>> >>> Which gets back to my original question: How do >>> >> you define victory? >> >> You don't, because then you can be held to a >> standard.
