It's peculiar how most people propose more aggression, when aggression will likely just create more terrorists.
I agree this is simply unbelievable. It's like humans don't understand anything to history, like war ever managed to get rid of terrorism...
I'm with those who believe there should be less meddling in the affairs of other countries. Restricting access and movement is just nursing the symptoms rather than tackling the cause. It might limit terrorism, but it won't stop it. The root cause is nations serving their petty national interests by interfering in other nations. Propping up despots, political assassinations, regime change, arms dealing, colonialism, politically motivated sanctions.
Thank you for having a brain. It's like all those people don't even realise everytime a terrorist blow himself up killing 30 people here, we have already politically destroyed his country, bombed his cities and put dictators at the head of his government while selling weapons to the terrorist group supporting him. Not excusing the terrorist but explaining where the problem comes from.
Then the resulting fallout when there's collateral damage and innocent people are harmed or killed (but obviously, those who advocate more aggression and violence couldn't care less until it's their "own" people dying). These are all things which cause provocation and ultimately lead to more terrorism. Like petulant children who poked a wasp nest with a stick and wonder why they got stung. Let's build a wall to keep wasps out.
Best analogy ever. That's exactly that, we kill, torture, steal, enslave, bomb, threaten millions of people and then we act like victims when they come here to kill us...
Terrorism only ends when human beings stop being divisive, hate-filled creatures who would rather infiltrate, steal from, isolate, manipulate or conquer their neighbours than live peacefully with them. Conflicts were fought hundreds of years ago over things like land, resources, or creed, yet somehow we still do it today, in what we like to pretend is a "modern" or "civilised" age. Even though we rarely declare these conflicts in formal wars anymore, we do it via stealth and espionage, pulling strings behind the scenes. It may be more subtle, but it's no less damaging over the long term. As such we are constantly fighting. We like to believe we "evolved" from our more primitive ancestors, but in reality, as proven by some of the people in this very thread, we haven't really come that far. Things like science and technology might improve, but instinctively, some of us are still barbarians at our core.
Short answer, terrorism stops when human beings stop acting like backwards savages.
Exactly. Terrorism is just a symptom, the cause is the incredible greed our countries are showing by destroying attacking and stealing other countries. Terrorism is only a consequence of this disease: us. (us not USA, USA is only one actor, Europe is greatly responsible too).
Thank you for bringing at least a some logic and intelligence here. Sometimes when I read answers like "Why don't they go to Syria or Irak or other neighbour countries those stealer?" I get completely desperate...
But your keen is far too rare around here...
