Just admit that there's no terror out there, and then this artificial war will stop.
Just count the amount of people killed by the most powerfull nations out there, and when the presumed "terrorist" people out there reach 1 billion part of that total, then start to worry about something meaningful.

They are already beyond that figure.
So on one hand,
The French Republic
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics
The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland
The United States of America
The Republic of China
What do you have on the other hand?

Is this 'war' being won or lost at the moment. If 'lost' then what can be done differently so that it will be won?
Like the "war" on poverty and the "war" on drugs, this "war" which is not a war will be lost.
The unfortunate part is that making out that the we are "at war with terror" actually hinders us from starting the dialogue we need to to begin setting things right. It paints us into an ideological corner.
The problem with having a hammer (i.e. a strong military), is that everything starts to look like a nail.

I think americanised scum think they have a lot to offer, but basically it is very little, because they usually only make things worse... depending on people's forgiveness.
This is why I think it's wrong to forgive americanised scum, because they will continue to eat more pies until we get to a dog eat dog world. Neanderthals.
