A war against terrorism......is that bad???

Question

Terrorism=I mean people who kill or even expose to fear, non combatent people (civilians). in the name of political monetary or religious gain.

Answer 1

Possibly.

Firstly we need a definition of terrorism.

Answer 2

same thing as the cold war.  It is just a bunch of Westerner blaming mad at some group of ppl that they can't bully

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

there is no such thing,its a myth,,,,you cannot fight any enemy you cannot see!

did we learn nothing from vietnam,,,two opposing armies fight,one wins ,one loses,,,

vietnam,,,no opposing armies,,,,viet cong strike and melt back into the background(cant tell friend from foe)afghanistan same scenario,,,,,guerrila warfare means they hold the advantage,,,the armies do not,,,iraq here we are again.will governments ever learn,,i think not

the russians tried to sort out afghanistan for years and couldnt,they melted back into the mountains and vanished,,,

if they are big,they are slow and if you are small,you are quick,,,its pointless taking on a fight you can never win

Answer 5

Read what the terrorists say.  It is on the internet.

Answer 6

No.

Answer 7

I am not sure who this terrorist is you speak about

Answer 8

It is meaningless words and will be no more successful than the "war against drugs".

It sounds good but that is all.

The terrorist is in most cases indistinguishable from the innocent man standing next to him.  Most terrorists attack soft targets e.g. markets, buses, trains etc. there is no way to protect all of these, especially if the terrorist is willing to die in carrying out his attack.

The only way to defeat the terrorist is by taking away the unfairness, oppression or occupation they use as an excuse for their violence.  This can also mean talking to those who feel aggrieved, these may be those who are believed to have acted or supported terrorism.  This has been proved to work in Northern Ireland after decades of violence.



This however can take months or years of negotiations and compromises on both sides and does not come easy like the use of clever sound bites.

Answer 9

Yes in that it makes no sense.  War is terror.  We might as well try to burn fire or drown water.  If the desired result is to reduce the occurrence of terrorist acts, the best strategy would involve coming to an understanding of who the sponsors of terrorism are, what motivates them, whether any of their complaints and desires might be legitimate and how we might reach some sort of compromise.  If their aims are truly fanatical and antithetical to all reason they should be neutralized.  Capturing them and treating them like kings would be enough to discredit them in the eyes of their followers.  Declairing war against them, or like Bush, naming them as the greatest enemies of America can only increase the number and enthusiasm of their followers.

Answer 10

No, it is not a bad thing to try to fight terrorism. Terrorism kills hundreds of people. I don't think we should allow people to kill us, and just ignore it...that would almost be like encouragement.

Answer 11

It's like s******g for chastity!

Answer 12

well not if that was what is going off.

This of course, is the war against lack of oil.

Answer 13

What terrorism ?

Answer 14

More of like terrorism VS terrorism

Answer 15

Its a hoax that only the sheeple buy. Great---a war that can never be won! Use it to keep the sheeple paying through their noses and happily giving up their rights. 911 was a false flag. It's obvious to all but the sheeple.

Answer 16

only if we lose

Answer 17

Nobody has ever won a war against terrorism. You can only solve it by taking the causes away. I'm not saying that the murdering b******s are right, just that you can't beat them at their own game.
