Did we lose the war on terror?

I was listening to Bubba's show a few days ago and they were discussing this nut job in Florida that wants to burn the Koran. One of the guys on the show said that with people like General Petraeus coming out to stop this guy from going foward with this shows that we still live in fear. They claim that doing something like this is going to put the troops in danger. Have these people looked at how many people have died in Middle East? They already are in danger. They're in danger because these savages want us dead because they beleive that's what their god wants. We can kiss their ass by letting them build mosques all over the country and it's not going to change the way they feel about us.

Maybe it's just the way I feel about this at this particular time, but it seems to me like we live in fear. Am I alone on this?
