agrue for your approach
agrue against your approach

Answer 1

Kill the terrorists and destroy their infrastructure...
We cannot drain every swamp on earth...
We cannot stop people from killing each other but
it does not mean we should stop punishing them
for doing so...

Answer 2

Iran is a terrorist state that has proclaimed that it wishes to destroy Israel. Nuclear weapons would give them the opportunity to do so, heaven forfend.

If Israel does indeed have a nuclear capability, it will use it only as a last resort, after a first strike by some other power.

Iran is the biggest threat to the West today, and their military capability must be curbed by the West.

In addition, individual terrorists must be eliminated--if necessary by engaging them and killing them.

There can be no rational argument against this two-pronged approach.

Answer 3

First of all we have to admit there is a problem and convince the American people of it. The Arabs don't have a problem declaring a holy war and threatening to wipe Israel off the face of the earth. They say they will destroy American and take over the world. Our politically correct government and news media are afraid to tell it like it is. I say do both initially and then be prepared for a long fight with Allys. Don't wait until we are attacked.

Answer 4

As long as religious fundamentalism and political extremism exist, there will always be terrorists. There is literally no way to completely resolve this problem, but steps can be taken to minimize it. Given the limited length of these posts, one can write an entire thesis on this subject because terrorism occurs for many, many different reasons. Remember that one mans terrorist is another mans freedom fighter.

Answer 5

we kill the mosquitos, and fish in the swamp
