Are you seriously saying that we are using the same methods of waging WWII as we are in the GWOT? I haven't seen the carpet bombing of cities here lately. We don't search a building by first throwing in a grenade. Joe Terrorist isn't exactly running around in a uniform, being housed in barracks, and carrying their weapons in the open on the battlefield. A better analogy is why haven't we defeated the mafia? In reality, that's what we are fighting - organized crime, on steroids. If you think money has nothing to do with most of the attacks here, you're an idiot.
