Interesting Issue

Are we are war with all terrorists or only terrorists that target the United States?

It's actually a pretty good strategic question. We know that it's only a matter of time before groups such as Hezbollah and Hamas bring the fight to us. But does that mean we should necessarily go after them?

And then there's the case of the PKK, which is a group that is currently destabilizing Turkey, our oestensible alley, but whose feathers we don't want to ruffle for fear the one element of Iraq project that is working could be hurt, ie the Kurdish North (where the PKK hides).

The whole thing is rather complicated.
