[Harry Potter] Why didn't the defeat Voldemort, then deal with his Horcruxes afterward?

It seems to me like it would be simpler to focus their energy on finding and killing Voldemort, and then use the breathing room that would afford them to hunt down his Horcruxes without worrying about him organizing attacks and stuff. I imagine the Death Eaters would fall apart at least a bit without his guidance, even if they knew he wasn't really dead.

This might not be *the* answer, but if Voldemort was defeated again, the majority of wizards would have assumed the threat was over and immediately write off those who still pursued him as nutters. 

Take care of the horcruxes while everybody is at war, then end the war.
