How Would You Solve the War on Terror

If you wanna start something like that just call I'm in 🙂

The word "Terrorist" is used too often nowadays, as a branding iron to make an excuse for attacking certain groups.

Anther problem is certain "terrorist" states are tolerated othes are not, take Israel for example, what they are doing and are allowed to get away with is beyond belief imo.

shutting down all boarders wouldn't stop al qaeda because in many cases they recruit people who are born within that nation.

From a cave?!

If Al qa'idah is an international organisation than someone must be running it, from somewhere. It must have a common purpose, common goals and common targets, and people who are answering to SOMEBODY.
And if those people are answering to some old dude, with kidney failure in a cave - well than that has got to beat every single ridiculous conspiracy theory. David Icke, move over.

This whole Al qu'aidah explanation sounds like some kind of conspiracy between few Arab countries and a secret organisation.

In order to run an INTERNATIONAL network of terrorists, one must have some good contacts, some goddamned discreet-stealth-super-ninja people who can infiltrate every goddamned place and with that be able to brief people from every enemy country in the world on the goals and activities without being detected by the West and other anti-terrorism governments.

The point is, existence of such thing as al qu'aidah is just so ridiculous to me.
It's just a name that is thrown about here and there to make people shit themselves and beg for protection.

The whole idea of ''war on terror'' is just ridiculous in itself, and everyone knows this, but if you give it a name, such as al qu-aidah, then you're fighting a specific thing, and it works better for people to go ''aaaah, yes, al qu-aidah, yes war on terror, makes sense''.

Just lots of ridiculous crap. War on terror is a ridiculous concept - but not if you give it a name and make it a ultra secret organisation status - THEY COULD BE WATCHING YOU NOW, AND BLOWING YOU UP TOMORROW!!!! ZOMyGoodness!!

If that isn't scaremongering, I don't know what is.

what is it that you think I'm saying?

I understood as - that ''war on terror'' is the war against this al qu'aidah, an organisation I very much doubt exists.

Terrorism of course exists, but I don't think global terrorism is something called al qu'aida and I don't think it is an international organisation.
Every generation has a bogeyman - it was the Russians, then communism, then drugs, then global warming, now terrorism.

ok, my point was that closing international boarders to travel and immigration was not going to stop terrorism

Other solution is for people to stop overreacting.

k3 would werk...

the war on terror is bullshit. its fake. its unreal. its bogus.

open your goddamn eyes.

The Antichrist is here.

run for the hills!! ppl!! the sky is falling..

by the way we know that "the war on terror" is asinine and lil bitchiness already gave good reasons for. no one to convince here and unsubstantiated comments and simple soundbite quotes is why ppl ignore certain ppl both on a forum and on tv..

ppl need to do more then ramble like a conspiracy theorist and be professional if they want their point of view respected and given credibility

so if you know the truth then why do u stand for it?

I think that the first major big step that USA should do, since they are already involved that much in the "War On Terror" would be to help and resolve the Israël/Palestine conflict. Finding a fair solution to both parties. USA have the power to do it. This war rage for to much time, and I think that less radicals will be tempted to bomb themselves with that done.

The second most important thing to do is to find Ben Laden. He's just an old man with a big beard but I think that he's kind of like an inspiration source to radicals. He's a symbol. That symbol must be stop.

The third step would be to promote Islam, but in his true nature. You just can't replace something like the faith. But with less radicals leaders, I think that it could help to appease the spirits. USA could also promote democracy, and liberty. Brainwashing will not work, but giving people the choice between a new system that roxx and their current that sucks would be a good start. Like America did in Europe after the Second World War. Industries would have to invest in Middle-East too, to promote employment. People there need money to rebuild, and help then by giving then a revenue source while making a profit is a great idea.

The fourth step is to be sure that the contries are heard on international meatings.

The final step would be USA asking them for help, against a common problem. That problem could be helping to rebuild Afrika, or something.

You just can't go out there and bombing the shit out of a country. That don't work. You have to work with them. Giving them the feeling that they are in some way needed, that they have their own identity and that they have their own destiny in their hands. USA will win the "War On Terror" when they'll stop trying to fight an ennemy that they simply can't beat, and instead, work their image with the population.

yo, the war on terror is fake, how dare you address the OP's question instead of self-indungant egotistical chest thumping!

And who in your opinion is over reacting?

The US citizens, going after terrorists is one thing, invading countryes is an another and lets not forget 3000 people died during 911 and the thing got more publicity worldwide then the Haiti catastrophe.

what about Haiti? thats where voodoo comes from right?
