>>>Perhaps the winning strategy might be to let them win.  After the next time they stage another successful attack similar to nine eleven, we could make something of a show of saying how they obviously are too strong and too smart for us, and then that may buy us a few years of peace, until they realize they've been had.<<<

I often think about how ideologies in the past have only been "defeated" when identified with specific people/regimes.  We didn't "defeat" Nazism, but we did defeat Hitler and his cronies, which back then meant Victory.  Today, in a war without end amen there isn't a specific enemy like in the past.  So, I wonder if the idea quoted above isn't worth considering.  It's not, and I'm not, Isolationist, but battling a war that will literally have no end, ... why not just pull totally out?  Israel would be our only real issue, and energy-wise, we have enough of our own to survive, period.

But... the U.S. would no longer be the giant in the room that periodically gets up and whomps one of the normal sorts sitting in its vicinity, just because it can.
