Global war on terror...

I have this perplexing question in my mind... how does one fight a 'global war on terror'?

My reason for asking is this: As a follower of Jesus, I believe that evil exists. I also beleive it exists within all of us. So, I've shown my hand on this matter. As a theologian, I am at least a partial Calvinist. I believe we are all sinful, broken, and potentiallly destructive people.

So, how does one fight a 'global war on terror'? It seems a war against poverty, an assult on the AIDS virus, providing shelter for those without, and creating schools to educate are ALL more attainable goals. Those are all biblical goals.

It seems, from the biblical text, that eradicting evil needs to be left to Jesus Christ, God himself.

You need to know that I am not trying to take a potshot here. I believe this war has created one more means by which we entirely mess up the gospel story, and it results in us interpreting the bibilcal account wrong for another generation to follow.
