You are a very kind and open minded person to come to that conclusion I'm sorry but any time any life is lost and someone sees joy in it i see little red flags and i am upset. I don't have a problem with terrorist because of political reasons i have a prob. with them because they kill innocent people for their and their governments gain and satisfaction i believe that is sick and i pray for these people.

Terrorism is not new.  The weapons and options of the terrorists are more powerful as society advances.\n\nThere is a little known amazing act of terrorism that occurred in Michigasn during May of 1927:\n\nhttp://www.msu.edu/~daggy/tbsd/\n\nSpeaking as a person of broad education (science and humanities, acquired on my own), I think the future will involve better education in ethics and morality and identifying and controlling potential criminals and terrorists.\n\nThere is currently great failure in both these areas.\n\nThere are too many people who are deprived of education and opportunity, but many terrorists are not from these.\n\nA terrorist is mostly a very evil person who does not know how to work for a better world.\n\nWhy don't you explore the motivations of the man involved in the Michigan incident, also a suicide, and see how it matches modern profiles, Timothy McVeigh, others.\n\nThere was a man in Colorado who drove a bulldozer around inflicting millions of dollars of damages, also killed himself.\n\nTerrorists who wish to inflict great damage while killng themselves.  Needs some good analysis.\n\nPlease study this for us.  I am already working on other things, cannot help, sorry.\n\nIt is far from being solely an Islamic fundamentalist problem.

This is a difficult answer because we can not win but that does not mean terriost organization are winning either.\n\nIt is like the war on drugs. Can we win that war either?\n\nYou can not win the war on terror.  Terrorism is a tactic, it exsist in many many forms. The US uses terror, we call it Shock and Awe, but terror non the less. Unlike wars by states and governments, who would sign a peace treaty, or agree to surrender. Terrorism is a tactic not a country which is why we conquered Afghanistan but only to attack the Tali ban.\n\n\nHowever.\nWhat i think your asking is if we can effectively destroy and root out major organized terror groups. the answer to that is yes, but not under the Bush administraiton. \nIt requires not only reliable intellegence, but massive nation building, and diplomacy.\n\nIf we had turned Afghanistan into a prosperous nation, rebuilit, gave people emoployment, education, liberities within their culture, it would be the envey of its neighbors, it would be true american democracies calling card. \n\nInstead we created a Islamist Extremeist Training ground and a Iraqui civil war for power.

Giving terrorists what they want just encourages more terrorism, and results in more violence, and more innocent people hurt or killed.  The best way to deal with terrorists is to hunt them down and stop them before thay have a chance to do it again to someone else.

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.

- there is no terrorist in world if no one intercept others life.\n- terrorism is really propagated by the bad policians of Americans and Europeans by means of hatred other religions particularly by suppressing muslims and the growth of their country.\n- terrorism really has no religion and terrorist activities is not belongs to a particular religion any more.\n- In any way Terrorism is acceptable.\n- The Americans and socalled "christian club"(europeans) alongwith Israel is in the bloody tug-of-war with Islam and creating Islamin terrorist world wide.\n- The Media which entirely controlled by the socalled and Americans and Europeans is portraiting as terrorist whoever talking against them. \n- But the real terrors are gaining their horrified terrorism as legal and legitimising it by cheating and paralysing billions of peoples on the earth.\n- Any Americans and Europeans have the right to use Neuclear power but no muslim countries. If some try to acquire then the country portrayed as "Axis of Evil" nations and spread terrorism.\n- They have rights to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent peoples including Infants, women in the name of war and in the name of spreading democracy.\n- What rights they have to spread their own culture to other nations..?\n- If they really help other nations and their people then no one will intend to raise slogans like "DEATH TO AMERICA".\n- Because the love is the great.\n- The drive towards "war against terror" is actually seems to be planned to spread terrorism worldwide and creating more terrors everywhere.\n- Because, now they got great chances to say and prove that Islam is preaching terrorism and Muslims are terrors, and so they can intrude and occupy any countries, suppress their people and growth in the name of Economic Sanctions and more.\n- They can achieve innocent peoples support through the misleading television media and make them to believe Islam is unrequired danger to the world.\n- Is this activities is not the Terrorism or more than that...?... what do you think.\n- There is really peaceful world when Americans and Europeans stop portraying other religions are harmful and avoiding the tendency to suppress other nations from their technological growth.\n- There is really peaceful world when Americans and Europeans stop intruding and RESPECTING the culture of other nations legitimate rights.\n- I dont want to say more... there is no terrorist and terrirism if Americans and Europeans mind their own business.\n- Why they always Americans and Europeans being the Hidden and Real threat to the Peaceful World...and being the real "Axis of Evil(Satan)"?\n- I never support terrorism.\n- Terrorism cannot be justified at any form.\n- Innocent people, let them be any religion, should not be allowed to suffer at any cost.\n- But remember the real Criminals are they who force innocent people to involve in terrism activities.\n- Let refine their (Americans and Europeans) interest on other nations.\n- Respect them.\n- Dont suppress other nations growth.\n- Dont let them push and force their own culture on other nations.\n- Stop wars on other nations.\n- Stop killing innocent people, children and women in the name of war. And dont create terrorist anymore.\n- Do you still think these activities are not terrorism. \n- And dont forget whoever talking about Americans and Europeans are portrayed as "enemies" "Terrorism breeding nations" and "Axis of Evil countries".... think how stupid the logic behind it... and when ordinary peoples can understand it....?\n-------------------

Define "Terrorist".  Then ask if it would be better to kill all terrorists then 1 innocent person.  I would say yes.  They can come up with an intelligent way to change things instead of violence.  If someone is potentially violent because of nothing but hatred that has been brainwashed into them are they safe for society?\n\nIf you could have killed Hitler and saved many millions of lives, would you?

You honestly believe that every person who is concerned about terrorism should go out and actually join the military? It's the same as saying if your a good American then you should go out and join! Besides, there are a lot of civilians that do plenty for our country and the war on terrorism. I'm a military wife and believe me, it's not easy. The sacrifices military spouses and military children make makes it possible for our loved ones to do what they need to do for our country. We have to play the role of both parents when the service member is gone. The children miss out on their parent being around. I could go and on. What about all these wonderful people that take the time to really support our troops over there? The ones that send care packages to the troops who they don't even know. Stuff like that is what keeps our service members going. No, you don't have to be on the front-line to fight terrorism. I believe that our military makes the biggest sacrifices of all, but there are plenty of us out there who pull our weight in more ways then one.

Terrorism exists as a cheap and pretty reliable political instrument. It is very easy to get started: in every society there are desperate people who, if worked well with and encouraged enough, may constitute a striking force which can be used by security service of a country as a pressure tool towrds the object country. There is a sophisticated switch on/off mechanism. This is classic, if You want a state-sponsored terrorism.\nThere is another one which is totally unmanageable. It is a new wave we have today. How it works? Issue a fatwa in Internet and proclaim, for instance that killing Americans may bring a direct way to paradise - Paradise NOW! People in remoted areas get inspired and prepare an attack without relying on anyone - what they need is some technical, religious and maybe financial aid. That's it - a hotel is blown up into pieces by a European looking guy without any beard or turban.\nWhy this exists? It is a way of self-expression for those who are committed and ambidextrous tool for power-interested groups/governments.

Country X is supporting terrorism through their inaction. If they won't do something to stop the deaths of millions of your people, you should be well within your rights to hold them accountable for the actions of their citizens, rebels or not. If you have to take them out just to fight the rebels on their home turf instead of yours, then so be it.

NOPE ... I think political activism is a good thing.  BUT I also think that if you want to be in this country (or any other country) you do so by doing it legally.  Doing things legally gets you protection and makes you a law abiding citizen instead of a criminal.

I don't think a defense against terrorists, that is based on protection alone, would work, and the other option, that of only attacking the terrorists overseas, is not very effective either. a mixture of aggressive and protective measures is the optimal approach.

Terrorism is only terrorism, which ever side you remain. Killings  innocents in World Trade Center, At London Railway stations or in Delhi crowded Markets are always terrorism which ever side you are. F-16  are bombing remote villages because terrorist are hiding there.

The War on Terror is a different war than ever fought, and that's why it is so difficult to win. What people don't realize is that these terrorists or freedom fighters are fighting for what they so deeply believe in, and they are not part of an organized military. They can be anyone from Joe down the street, or Al-Mohhomed in Afghanastan. No one knows. The rest of the world is begining to realize that yes, this is a serious threat, and it harms more than the United Staes. Take the U.K bombings, and hotel bombing in Jordan. Al-Quida is terrorising people of the same faith. With this war there are no borders. I do not agree with George Bush, but I will say that he is correct in one aspect. We must stay the course until victory is ours. If we back down to people who threaten us, then that puts us and the rest of the world into a submissive situation, and then those people will begin to walk all over us. Once a victory is achieved by someone, that person wants more, and becomes power hungry. That is the situation with terrorists. The war on terrorism is a bitter stale-mate.
