We are on the offensive in this war on terror, and the progress we are making is wonderful. However, in many ways, we are still beating the air.
When you want to get rid of ants, semadas (army ants) for instance, you don't just wipe out the columns of marching warriors. Sure you may kill hundreds of thousands, but until you destroy the nest, they will be back.
We know that the radical Muslims more often than not hold to the form of Islam called Wahabism. Wahabism comes from Saudi Arabia and is spread through schools created and funded by Saudi money. So why are we waiting until these radicals have graduated and are going about their dirty, evil business?
We need to be closing down every one of those schools NOW! We need to know everyone who studied and or taught at those schools NOW! And then we need to keep track of them; we should know what they ate for breakfast and who they talked to during the day. They should not be able to go somewhere or say something without our intelligence network knowing about it.
And last, but most certainly not least, we need to get rid of the mother of all the nests - the radical Wahabists in Saudi Arabia.
