Though, I think we have more than enough fire power right now to defeat the terrorists and it shouldn't call for a WW2 type mobilization.
Whether we should be there or not now, we are doing something wrong when it comes to waging war on terrorists. The scourge of terrorism should have been obliterated by now.
I think what is happening is "milder" forms of Islam where women are still denied the basic rights that men have, and which are safe from world condemnation and penalty, are, in essence, incubators and refuges for the more extremist forms. If you tell men they have a right to deny women education and a host of other rights, those men are going to insist on that when they want to form their own state.
The problem is we are not scuttling the incubators of the thought that says women can be denied rights, converts from Islam should be killed, homosexuality is illegal, etc. Those "hiding" places for extremist thought remain untouched so the supply of "soldiers" for "Islam" keeps being fed.
