There is an easy way to stop the war on terror. Stop fighting.
The regional powers need to act to bring stability to their own region. We cannot and should not attempt to do it for them.

You're right about this. Until we as a nation get the guts to fight this war the right way, not this PC limp wristed feeble nonsense we now call war, this will go one for years. Sorry folks but we have to have a scorched earth policy and fight these new age nazis's with the end goal being to wipe them off the face of the planet.I dont care how crazy Islamists live in their societies, when they are muslim societies, since that is a part of what has produced them, but they have brought it to western societies, and they are a scourge. Imo, it is a shame that we can't turn them into dust. Every single one.
(And we aren't going to end this war, because we dont have the stomach to do what it takes)

There are only two ways to end a war .... win or lose. There IS no middle ground ... ask Korea.
Well, Iraq being a war of choice and not necessity, could simply have been avoided.
Again, revisionist facts delivered with benefit of hindsight.
Who cares? To quote the infamous Hillary Clinton ... "What difference does it make?"
We are where we are ... the question is "Where do we go from here?"
"How we got there" is reserved for historical analysis ... and, apparently, for those who don't have an answer for the first question, but feel it necessary to make ego-driven input while others try to figure out the answer..
Oh dear. Still lost on you as well. Ok, well perhaps you'll understand someday.
Okay, but the jobs are not aimed at terrorists, they are aimed at civilians. Bludgeoning civilians into submission so as to carry out interests may not be appropriate?
No answer, huh?
Duly noted.
It was because I was providing links to prove the point that a country doesn't need to occupy Islamic lands to be under attack from radical Islam.
The Indonesian link proves it, the French one proves it, the Chinese one. So does the Indian one and many others. They provide cutting evidence to something that should be common sense - nobody is immune to radical Islam.
I actually did as I took the time in collecting them to make a statement
Nope , your response was supposed to be refutation to the claim that countries that are directly involved in the atrocities against the Muslim world caused by the war on terror are less likely to be attacked by Muslim terrorists. The links actually backed the complete opposite view
You cited...
Norway , which hasn't been attacked ( yet , and contrary to your claim ) but has played a part in the above
Sweden , which has been attacked ( albeit a minor attack where the only person killed was the terrorist himself ). He stated the reason was Sweden's involvement in the war on terror ( TWT from now on )
Saudi Arabia and the US military personnel there. Attacked post 1991 attack on Iraq
Spain , which was attacked badly , but the attack was as a result of their involvement in TWT
London , attacked , the reason given by some of the attackers TWT
Pakistan , Peshawar , attacked , reason given objection to US drone attacks in Pakistan
India , Mumbai , attackers apparently searching for British and US tourists. That they targeted the tourists from those countries strongly suggests a link to TWT
The Somalia one is to do with the internal power struggles in the country and as such is unrelated to the question you responded to
The Bali bombings were apparently funded by Al Qaeda and are thus related to TWT
Separatist and internal domestic political disputes account for others
So the above generally supports the notion that being involved in TWT is behind many of the incidents you cited. That goes against your assertion completely
That's one way to stop ONE HALF of the war on terror .... what do you propose for the other half?
Spoken like someone that would prefer to put their head in the sand. Keep dreaming.
Terrorists are not civillians. They must be seen as enemy combatants or actually as vermin to be exterminated and unworthy of any polite considerations normally exercised in war. And we have to get past this politically correct notion that war is anything other than a horrendous inhumane and indecent act, bloody, unfair, unjust, and savage. While we will not deliberately target civilians who do not aid and abet the enemy, civilians of all ages will inevitably be in the line of fire from time to time and lose their homes, livelihood, and some will be injured, maimed, killed. If not by our hand then by that of the enemy. The purpose of war is to kill the enemy and destroy things. It should never EVER be undertaken when there is any alternative, but neither should we shy away from it when it is necessary to defend our persons, property, homeland, and critical interests.
The perpetual war the US has been engaged in over the past 15 years has not done a bit to solve the problem. The dangers are growing, the costs are growing, but the security of the American people is not. That should be saying something that our current course of action is neither sustainable, nor sensible.

Just kneel down and bear your neck. In only hurts like hell for a little bit, usually ten minutes or less.There is an easy way to stop the war on terror. Stop fighting.
See post 180
You're what I would call a firecracker Lizzie! And that is meant as a compliment.Yeah, things have changed dramatically since the good old days, when your goal was to slay your enemy. If reincarnation is a reality, I have little doubt that I spent a good bit of time with the sword. :lol:
That simple step would deal a great blow to recruiting efforts and the resources of terror groups. The US is the common denominator of these groups. People join because they are mad specifically at the United States. I am not saying ending our involvement will immediately cause threats to stop, but it will not only damage the resources of these groups, but also allow us to refocus our resources and prevent attacks on our home soil.
