Clearly, it's more convenient for us civilians if we fight the war on terror on their (the terrorists') turf. But it really looks like that doesn't work if you have to invade whatever country you've decided to fight the terrorists in.
Here's an alternative plan. Don't invade. Just bomb the training bases. And that would include the training bases in countries that are allies such as Pakistan, and countries that are enemies, such as Iran. In fact, while we're in the mood to bomb Iran, we could also bomb the nuclear facilities where they're planning to make thermonuclear bombs.
Wish it where that easy. That’s more of the first part of solving the problem. You also have to add Counterinsurgency into the matter. Something our troops are doing more and more of. A complication because it use to be our Spooks and SF's that did that. Now our military as a whole out in Iraq and Afghanistan (among other places) are doing that. Ain't easy when your mind set melded to fight and win. Ain't easy at all. Counterterrorism can take up to 30 years. Not an over night win. Just remember, Clear - Hold - Build!

By jove, I think he has hit it. Why, it's so simple as to make one wonder why it wasn't thought of before.

Of course this plan was thought of before. In Bosnia, we bombed military targets. Special forces were present on land for various purposes, but there was no mass invasion, no occupation. We enforced a no-fly zone and shot down planes that violated it. Eventually, they couldn't fight a war there anymore, and there was a peace agreement that we helped them work out the details of in Dayton Ohio. It's really possible to make it so expensive for an country to keep on with their fight that they have to stop.
We can bomb Al-Qaeda training camps, and we can bomb all military bases of countries that support Al-Qaeda. If that doesn't work, we can bomb all government buildings including the residences of political leaders of countries that support Al-Qaeda.
Of course, the economic way to win is to start using all other methods of generating energy besides oil, preferably renewable sources. But that'll take too long so a military response will end Al-Qaeda's ability to train recruits and get financial support sooner. We just stand off and ruin their facilities. They'll get the idea soon enough that we're not interested in occupying them, we just won't let nations that support Al-Qaeda's use of force against us and our allies continue to have armies, air forces, navies, and government buildings.

No one supports civilians on their turf...Our troops barely have support themselves....
