This is simple but it appears the current administration and much of America does not understand.
Terrorism is a method of controling politics of a people by terrorising them. The simple solution is to not react in terror... in fear.
The population of a land mignt feel terror, might fear terrorists, you cant help that much... but dont react in fear.
One reason terrorism is so effective is that leaders of nations often will use fear to consolidate power.... thus the terrorists temporarly get the leaders of the land they are attacking to work with them. (Telling the people to be afraid, so they will support your political agenda, telling the people they might be in danger if they support the opponant)
The best way to defeat a terrorist is to react out of stringth not fear or terror. Dont go attack random nations in the name of fear. Dont let your leaders use the terror to push the people into something they would not have otherwise supported.
React to terrorism with stringth, go after the terrorists... then the best reaction after that is no reaction... the entire goal of a terrorist attack is to promote a reaction. A group that uses terrorism is a desperate group, if they are desperate it means the current state of affairs is working against them. They wanted this fight!
The proper responce to 9-11 was to go after Al Queda in Afganistan... go after the Taliban in Afganistan, beef up our internal security and react NO FURTHER...
Instead we declared war on the Islamic world, attacked a secular Iraq and have changed the field so that the terrorists have successfully manipulated our forign policy. The Terrorists got what they wanted out of America... they were spoiling for a fight. They have everything to win and nuthing to gain. Really, what have we cost the terrorist, they dont care about life, they never had a nation, they care about respect for the little power they have... and we gave that to them!
