Are we winning war against terrorists?

I've read comments about how George Bush is keeping us safe from terrorists.

These comments failed to read what the terrorists said in their messages: "We will destroy the "Financial, Wall Street" giant.

Terrorist are succeeding in their plan.

We attacked a nation that wasn't involved, spending a nearly trillion dollars, killing thousand of people not involved and giving them a reason to add to the terrorist ranks to avenge their dead family members.

Terrorists realize the world is based on money. Destroy its economy and you will win.

It worked on the Communist threat, when the U.S.A. used it, so it can work on the free world economies.

Iraq was a Sunni nation, ruled by a despot, but a capitalist nation. It was a buffer against Iran, a Shiite-ruled nation that hated the U.S.A. and the capitalist world.

Terrorists view this as a religious war and the way to win is economics.
