Can the new global terrorism be contained?
364806
Yes it can - if all nations begin to cooperate more fully.

By intensive involvement of the communities from which terrorism springs in the ongoing global community. This will eventually result in the children of those communities becoming more and more "citizens of the world," rather than breeding grounds for terrorists. Easy to say, but very, very difficult to do.

Containment was a very complex political and military strategy, and I don't think this sort of question is appropriate. I'm not trying to be snooty (well, maybe I am) but I really hope this is not the sort of thing being taught today.

Terrorists have a home\nIf there is a war to be fought - let it be there

IF WE CONSIDER THE CURRENT ATTACK, THATS VERY WEAKER THAN PREVIOUS.\nBUT, I WOULD SAY, ITS ENOUGH TO CONTAIN OUR HEROES.

No, the only thing we can do is deter terrorism.  We do this by being a "hard target"... which means making it difficult for terrorists to attack. Being a hard target entails passive and active measures... elevating our defensive posture (extra security at airports, etc) and implementing stringent criteria for foreign visitors/students coming into the US and better coordination between local, state, federal and international intelligence agencies. Perhaps this coordination between agencies is most crucial to successfully deterring terrorism. But, I doubt they will ever all be able to be on "the same sheet of music." As well, we need to maintain an open and active dialog with all nations... we need to better understand them and seek their cooperation in deterring terrorism.\n\nKeep in mind:\n\n- The US has its own "terrorists" organizations which wish to overthrow the government (Anarchists, some militias, etc)... just because someone is foreign does not automatically equate them to being a terrorist.\n\n- During the Revolutionary War...England labeled our soldiers as "terrorists" as well. "One mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter."\n\n- Terrorism comes in many forms (religious, political, social, economic, military, some animal rights and environmental groups).\n\n- Terrorism has been around since the dawn of man. \n\nThe bottom line is we can’t be everywhere...but can make it difficult for a terrorist to attack...by being a "hard target."

Absolutely NOT. No other country has the resources and intelligence capabilities that the United States does. It would be logistically impossible for another country to lead the war on terror.\n\nIt is true, however, that other countries need to step up and commit to the war on terror. Recent terrorism has shown it does not care about national boundaries, religion, political philosophies or the status of civilians. The United States has a volunteer military of over 2,000,000 (including Reserves) who stay in because they believe in the fight and want to be part of the solution.\n\nThe former British colonies of the United States, England and Australia have been leading the fight since it began in earnest. Each of those countries is committed to the fight and has not faltered. They have the experience and the know-how to continue and lead the fight.

yea, great idea, oh yea what are you doing about being under threat.  funny us dumb american knows more about your country than you do..\n\nTony Blair today backed the assessment of the head of MI5 that the "very real" threat from terrorism would last a generation.\nIn a rare public speech yesterday, Dame Eliza Manningham-Buller, director general of the intelligence agency, expressed concern at the rate at which young people, including teenagers, were being radicalised and indoctrinated.\n\nShe said MI5 was tracking more than 1,600 individuals who were actively engaged in promoting attacks here and abroad. Many of these were British-born and had connections with al-Qaida, she said.\n\nResponding to her comments that the threat would "be with us for a generation", the prime minister said today Britain faced a "long and deep struggle" to combat the danger posed by terrorism.

Yes, and I think we need more help from other countries too.  I think that if we put a huge mass of boots on the ground and overwhelm the terrorists, that would be the way to go.  I think that we should systematically start from the top of Iraq and fight our way down and wipe out the terrorists.

US will never succeed. Like it`s needless saying that we can prevent the bad efffects of globalization. \n\nWorld terrorism is quite a complex problem nowadays. And of course it encompasses not only anti-US movements in the Third World Countries, but also the inner terrorism in developed ones.\nLet`s take Britain, for example. A lot have been said about the origin of the sucide bombers in London Underground. And very important point is that they were Britts. Immigrants, but brits.Brits in their style, manners,views.\n\nTerrorism is not just muslim affair t all.It`s wrong statement made up only to create an enemy,which will unite a nation. I think government easily uses this tactic:we need a "small victirious war".\n\nBut the origins of the terrorism lay deep inside the structure of the society. It is probably us, who create reall terrorists. Us and people we elect. You are absolutely right about iranian family hatred with America. I think you may be also interested in the book "Why world hates America?" (unfortunattely, I have forgotten the author). \n\nDo you remembtr Huntington`s "Clashes of civilizations"? Don`t you find it somehow coincides with today situation?

Yes, we can stop terrorism.\nDispose of the secret services. The CIA/MI6/Mossad/ISI were between them responsible for 9/11, 7/7, Madrid train bombing, Bali bombing, Mumbai train bombing, Lockerbie air disaster, and many others - all blamed on Arabs or Muslims in order to keep people terrorised and prepared to give away their freedom in exchange for ill-perceived security.

No way.. putting a load of terrorists together on an isolated island could spell a messy ending. Can't believe that they haven't been charged with supporting terrorism, tho.

Since it is extremely difficult to defeat terrorists without adopting their methods, as Golda Meir did post the Munich Olympic massacre, governments are faced with the dilema of being branded as state terrorists. Religious terrorists are generally much harder to deal with, as their fanaticism is instilled in them from birth, and often supported by State Governments. Recent events in Iraq and Afganistan illustrate the fact that in most circumstances terrorists are funded and supported by external Governments as part of a global strategy, adopted to put pressure on Western Alliances (USA, UK, EU.). This global strategy is usually aimed at resolving the Palestine/Israel situation, so I suppose the only answer to the question is It is pointless negotiating with terrorists as individual organisations, resolution can only be obtained by pusuading their sponsors to cease their support.

The world will never be terrorism free again.  It's a genie that's out of the bottle.  Terrorism is a tool, a weapon.  As hateful as it is, the suicide bomber was a brilliant invention; and like guns, and bombs, and the rest of our arsenals, once they've been discovered they are never going away.\n\nThis is why, by the way, a "War on Terrorism" is so ridiculous.  We can fight specific people or cultures who USE terror as a weapon.  But a war on terror is no more sensible than a war on slingshots.

I'm sorry, but the only way I know to defeat terrorism is by killing them. They are already killing themselves, so it doesn't seem to be a problem killing them off before they kill themselves and us both. You don't offer any other suggestions, so you must not have an answer.

Ha they have no plan for fighting terrorism. To them, it seems logical that if they leave terrorists alone, the terrorists will return the favor. Many liberals believe America is at fault for terrorist attacks, that our culture and ways provoked the Muslim extremism. \n\nBut murder and terrorism is never the solution, especially in a country such as this.\n\nTo canukinsocial's statement: that is exceptionally inaccurate. CIA and NSA have intercepted hundreds of threats against the United States, and although they are certainly sometimes a bit slow, that is why they need a larger budget. So that can improve.
