While I abhor terrorism, violence will never beat it.
You can't possibly get every terrorist and all you will do is incite them.
Invasions like Iraq will also breed more of them.
It reminds me of school play ground bullying and how it should be dealt with.
The answer has to be through an organisation representing all nations and, in the case of terrorists with a religious belief, could include a global broadcast of a unified declaration by religous leaders denouncing violence.
The answer has to include isolating the terrorists in such a way.
The answer has to include super powers taking positions that support rather than disempower the united organisation.
Particularily as the balance of power changes in the world, the answer also has to include super powers taking a humble position where each citizen must assume resposibility for researching the truth behind what their politicians and media would have them believe, for those politicians and media are understandably (though regretfully) driven by short term and financial interests.
The world wide web is one such way. Take a break from chess and browse the internet.

I never thought I'd say it but you're right.
One thing though. Can we please stop using the
word 'terrorist'. It frightens me.

it only leads to more war with different techniques - as you suggest.
the key is to break the cycle and bring peace.
how do we break the cycle and bring peace?
clearly western domination of the islamic countries is not a means to peace.
there must be a way ... we do not know it or see it now ... but it is worth striving for .. the potential humanitarian advantage is huge.
does anyone have any wild ideas?
