For all of u "global war on terror" supporters & "Bush is a lame duck" thinkers... how come is it u think that his creation is any more worthy & relevant than the man himself? How possible is it, that Bush will be viewed as a lame duck AND the "war on terror" continues for years to come? Regardless of who is president? Maybe?

Spain, Turkey, Bali, England, etc. have all suffered from Islamofascist terrorism. It is not just a U.S. problem.

Yeah, Scip, that is what I am saying. Some of these folks that have blown themselves up in these different countries, they aren't even affiliated with AlQ, apparently. It doesn't matter what their group name is, their inspiriation is the same, no?

So, I think we have defined Terrorism and the shock waves felt around the world. So what about solutions? I offer this first and leave it for discussion. Start calling "Suicide" attacks by their real name. Homocide. And begin to have any sympathy for the attackers removed from discussion. No matter what the cause, from the IRA to Jihad, the intentional targeting and killing of innocents as a "Tactic" should be viewed as cold blooded murder. And treated as a high crime against Humanity and the WORLD. Change world thinking. So that it can never be sanely said that it was justified.

Terrorizm in its wider sense cannot be avoided untill the earth is unified under 1 governenmt. So I propose unification of the world. Treat terrorism not as a problem but as a symptom of an even greater problem - existance of gated communities which serve as trade barriers keeping wealth to select few while the majority of humanity suffers from chronic poverty & malnutrition (this sounds like a blond beuaty peagent statement, but give it time to sink in ).

You must 1st stop the turmoil in yourself before you can stop the turmoil in the world, young grasshopper.

-M- (5/21/2008) Terrorizm in its wider sense cannot be avoided untill the earth is unified under 1 governenmt. So I propose unification of the world.

I thought you were a capitalist? In a Free Market, doesn't anyone have the right to build a wall around their community if they have the money to do so? What are you talkin' bout some kinda pinko commie government based redistribution system like what you used to have back in the "good ole" days of the USSR?

Free Market w/out national protectionist bounderies is wut I am talking about. If a guy is dumb to the point of letting himself be exploited when all opportunities are open to him, let that be. But dont create national bounderies so femines like in africa have a place in the world.
