And to discover the grand unification theory with 1000 monkeys on computers. Is it impossible? Nope. Improbable? Damn straight. In general there's a great myth out there with terrorism and democracy: If you kill all of the terrorists then you can begin addressing the root causes. That's failblog type thinking. Only way to stop terrorism is to stop the root causes and that's NEVER going to happen by invading countries. That's not to say that you don't use force as one tool, but if it's your largest one, you've lost. We've got 2000 years of data on that one. As to democracy, the great myth is that you can force people into it. FAIL. People have to choose it and they generally do that because their peers choose it. Thus to fight terrorism and enable democracy the US is WAY better off supporting democratic allies and fighting terrorism with diplomacy and special forces.
