President Obama's and Secretary Gates' war on terror (not that they would call it that) is guaranteed to fail

The US army in Afghanistan has burned Bibles printed in local languages, a US colonel in Afghanistan has said, amid concerns they could have been used to try to convert Afghans. (Oh shock, oh horror! Christians were actually trying to make a real difference in Afghanistan - massive sarcasm intended!)

The war on terror is a spiritual war, which can only be won in the spiritual realm. Bullets and bombs won't win this war. Unfortunately thousands (yes, I believe at least 'thousands', 'tens of thousands') more of our soldiers will die fighting with completely inadequate, ineffective physical weapons.

We need to win the hearts of our enemies through Christ, not blow them up into perceived submission. The enemy prefers martyrdom. Everybody knows that!
