That would be very effective. A shoot first ask questions later foreign policy is going to kill America faster than anything. We're not dealing with an enemy we can destroy by violence alone.
I'm afraid we're entering the same tit for tat cycle the Israelis and Russians are in. The more civilians we kill in Iraq, and we're killing a lot of them, are simply going to make more insurgents, more bad PR on the Islamic news and create more recruits for al Qaida to bring terror home.
Bush is doing nothing to show Islam that Bin Laden is a bad thing for them as well, in fact he's doing just the opposite. Iraq has demonstrated that we have no problem killing and humiliating muslims which is exactly what Bin Laden told them. No wonder they hold him in such high regard.
I know our troops have done a lot of great things for the Iraqi people on the ground, but the big picture is a complete screwup and the world is watching.
