America will never win the 'War on Terror'

I propose that America can never win 'The War On Terror'. September 11th 2001 undoubtedly changed American foreign policy forever, As a nation you were angry, upset, bloodied but also embarrassed that such an attack could happen to the worlds most powerful nation. Americas omnipresent belief in its own invincibility was destroyed and tainted in the rubble of the twin towers. Like any nation attacked you wanted to find and destroy those who were responsible...however in doing so you waged a war you could never win. My argument has three main points to back this up. The first is as follows....you cant wage war on an idea or 'ideology'. The phrase 'war on terror' was always far to ambiguous....its waging war on an idea or theme not a clear target. It would be like me saying 'I am going to fight bullying in schools'....the idea is far to open and unclear...what defines bullying?...the same example can be applied to the war on terror....just exactly is 'terror' and how are you going to wage a war on this idea?.....All the famous philosophers and theorists on war always say that clear identifiable aims are vital if victory is to be achieved...Clausewitz and Sun Tzu were clear advocates of this....Clausewitz states in his Book 'On War' that without clear achievable aims one will find themselves in a difficult situation.....Obviously using the example of an 19th century theorist might seem daft....and it is true some of his ideas are dated but I feel some of Clauewitz's ideas are everlasting....and his ideas on clear objectives is one of them. I believe that America can never win a war with such a unclear objective.....I feel that America are chasing shadows by basing there whole strategy on a objective that is failed in its very definition. My second point to back up my argument is that with Americas continuing presence in the middle east and most notably Afghanistan and Iraq they will continue to increase hatred and suspicion amongst the people in the region.....no matter how you look at it America cannot shrug of the tag that they are 'occupiers' on foreign land rather than peace keeping troops....peace keepers by definition are there to keep the peace not fight a full blown war which is what currently is happening in both Iraq and Afghanistan....I feel America has totally forgotten the main reason why Al queda and other terrorist organisations waged a 'jihad' on them in the first place...it was all down to the fact that American based itself in Saudi Arabia before the first gulf war which many felt was an insult to Islam....I feel that America can never win if they remain a aggressive force inside these countries...... Finally I feel that America's idea of installing democracy in a country which for the past 2,000 has been led by a Islamic constitution with Islamic beliefs and traditions is wrong.....Americas brand of democracy is not always what people want....the same pair of shoes wont always fit on the same pair of feet.....Vietnam is the obvious example to back up this point. In conclusion I believe that America will never win the 'War On terror' due to its luke warm objectives, its lack of understanding of the culture and institutions of Islamic countries and its aggressive actions in the middle east.
