So, what kind of passports do islamic terrorists normally carry? What
uniform do they wear? What's the postal address of their recruitment
bureaus? Who is their military leader? Where's his office? Is he really
able to control every action and eventually stop his warriors? Did you
happen to learn the term asymmetric war lately?
The possible combatants are 200-300 mio. desperate fanatics against 10-20
mio. lazy, well fed Western soldiers that need long and costly training.
The weapons are the goods we need to support our live style on one side
against costly weapons that unfortunately need the exact GPS code of the
target.

I beg to differ: They realizied that the US military was superior to
their military.
