Really, after having witnessed the unfolding events after 9/11? Yeah, everybody can have an idea. Even village idiots have them off and on. Question is, if it's the right idea, given the impressive display of global ignorance and Gung Ho by the Bush administration and their advisors.

And you can't detach war strategy from politics. At least according to Clausewitz, who said, war is just politics using different means. Sounds silly, but he may have had a real idea there. You can't wage war without knowing and understanding your enemies and their goals. And that's where I'm really doubtful when it comes to American foreign policy.
