I'm not sure I follow; do you mean win against the 'terrorists' or
'win' in the sense of continuing to live with the values we have
treasured?
If you mean win against the terrorists, you will need to set a more
measurable definition, do you mean kill anyone who we don't like? I'm
sure you don't.
Maybe kill anyone who might want to harm Americans? You probably
don't mean this either.
Or maybe even simply reduce the damage caused by terrorists below a
threshold of some other measurable threat to American lives, such as
automobile accidents/smoking/obesity/gun crime. Is this what you mean?
Or maybe you mean reduce the motivation for anyone to want to hurt
Americans in the first place.
If you mean winning in the second sense; winning by continuing to
live with the values we treasure (living in peace and with privacy),
then we have already lost in some way. I think that is what the
exposure of more and more erosion of liberties and privacy shows.
Anyway, just my two pence worth.

Do these guys actually want us to win?
