If anti-American propagandists and traitors were imprisoned or shot, would we already have won the war?

First define the war. If it was to topple the government of Saddam it was won in a few weeks. If your referring to the war on terror it will not be likely be won in our life time or not at all.If the USA resorted to killing and imprisoning the dissenters and "unpatriotic" . we would have become the enemy we are trying to defeat. In this way "THEY" would win the war not we.
