  I am not sure that taking the fight to the 'terrorist' is a suitable approach. Could it be that we will look back and see this method in the same light as we now see sending thousands of troops at walking pace straight towards the machine guns? Taking the fight to an invisible force has a very poor success rate. Better that we adopt a more humanitarian approach and look at providing basic needs such as clean water, schools, hospitals etc than throw several thousand pounds of explosives into communities. Humanitarian aid will help reduce the supposed cause for many groups whilst bombs act as recruitment aids.
  Playing the part of a responsible member of the international community may also mean that we have to look at supporting people in countries that are not blessed by bountiful oil supplies or other natural resources but that would mean a shift in a foreign policy that hasn't really changed since its inception.
