I agree 1,000% with you. I'm not suggesting we firebomb civi populations like we did in WWII. But the civillian population of the enemy is strangely insulated from "GWOT", at least officially. God forbid we actually decide to WIN a war every now and then, though. But...topic for another thread I suppose.

OK periscope depth, i'll bite. The us isn't winning because it's not fighting properly in your opinion.
let's see what your solution is to ending the GWOT with a victory and having the whole world love america like you do through the means of bringing the war to the civil population. (like they haven't already realised it's going on - you know how many iraqis have sought asylum in europe since you "liberated" the place?)
Raze a few city blocks in baghdad?
Perhaps you could try random torture and execution? Say, if there's a
suicide bomb that kills an american soldier, you could publicly torture (or the american name for it) 50 residents in the area before shooting them.
perhaps if an insurgent is caught, you could nail his entire family to trees?
