A serious question for anyone who is listening
The subject says it all. So here goes:
Is there anyone out there who thinks that the “War on Terror” can be won via military means? If so, please comment.

Looks like it's just you and me, pal.
One addendum: The question is not whether there is a military solution to Iraq. The question is whether the War on Terror will be won by military means, similar to the question whether the War on Drugs will be won by increased law inforcement or the War on Poverty by Welfare Reform. The situation is not unlike the Cold War, in which those who suggested diplomatic rather than military means to solve conflicts (e.g., General Eisenhower in his celebrated closing address) were deemed unrealistic cowards who misunderstood the threat and gave comfort to the enemy.
It is quite interesting, however, that you seem to have equated the two. Maybe you've been in DC for too long; the administration's rhetoric is seeping into your brain.
