I'm waiting to see how effective it is in the longer term, before I conclude it is a failure. Obviously, like most people I would like to see them aniliated off the face of the Earth, and I don't give a dime about the collateral damage; but realistically, I know that is not going to happen.   There are geo-political reasons why the Administration is drawing very careful lines between terrorists and "all Muslims".  I never lose sight of the fact that these are the very people that danced in their streets on 9/11; however we have long term strategic and commercial relatiohships with other Muslim countries that are important to the U.S., that might be broken if we approach the issue like a ham fisted lout. 

One thing I'm real sure about - that I'm glad I'm not the one having to make the decisions about strategy for dealing with the problem.
