War on terrorism is fought against an idea. The baddies won't just wake up
one day and give up on it. No matter how many of them you kill. It's like a virus,
unless every single one with that idea in their head is eliminated it just keeps
spreading.

Certainly there are many that have very little outlook on life. Here is something they can do. Three hots, a cot and AK47 plus all the plastic explosives you can handle. Gives them a purpose all be it possibly misdirected as it were.

For a start you have to specify what terrorism is, then you have to take all those that fit into that definition and specify which ones in particular are you warring against and which you are not, themn you have to define what you would consider as a win against those specific groups.
War on terrorism and winning against terrorism are absolutely meaningless tripe unless you can clearly define them, a war aim that is unable to be defined is a war aim that can never be achieved which defaults the whole operation to an unwinnable war.
