Would you mind listing some of these "plenty of ways".....??

.

The 9/11 criminals are perps. They are not an Army, they do not represent a huge population, they control no territory. They are criminals, plain and simple. They might even meet the definition of a cult, but whatever they are, they are not "the enemy" anymore than was Al Capone.

One goes after perps with police methods, one goes after cults by marginalizing them. The process is fairly straight forward and understood by every national police force on the planet.

Instead, we sent the army after them; we effectively recruited hundreds, if not thousands, of new members for Al Q. We didn't catch anyone of signicance, and AL Q is probably as strong now as it was on 9/11. They are far from being marginalized, but in addition we have pissed off millions in Afghanistan, in Iraq, and in Pakistan.

It is a disaster by whatever measure you choose to use.
