What is your plan?

Question

I see dems say we cant physically fight the ideology of terrorism. they say you cant change the peoples views on religious violence. they say they understand a fight against terrorism is needed (well some) so what is the plan? how do you stop the growing problem coupled with the proliferation of weapons. Intelligence can only do so much. Attacks thoughout the world are still taking place, some are stopped but to just rely on intelligence wont thwart everything...

Answer 1

Democratic line you can't see it from my house, it's all about me gimme gimme gimme

who cares.

But when something say 9-11 happens

They are proud of the Conservatives that are patriots to defend them, when they rationalize the threat is gone. Regardless if it is or not they want to stop all efforts even ones designed to cure the problem not the symptoms.

It is quite simply they are greedy and lazy and it's all about me, they will however scream bloody murder if 9-11 happens and blame security forces that are not properly funded due to their spending on me projects.

It's all to funny.

If there is another successful US attack it will be in NY or LA if it gets a lot of the population it will essentially make the country swing Republican so I suppose in the long run it really doesn't matter.

Answer 2

You ask this question as if there is no other plan. Here's one:

If we had a different leader, we could be leading an international diplomatic coalition (involving Iran and Syria, you know, the countries that Bush declared 'evil') to bring a political solution to Iraq. It would require the Shiite controlled gov't under Malaki to make some difficult but necessary choices towards the Suuni's. Allowing them to govern and police their own areas, a stake in oil revenues, and a viable position within the government. The central gov't would need to provide them security by putting an end to Sadr's militia, and they could do that, perhaps, with American military's support. But- this means that a political solution needs to be orchestrated that we could support militarily.

Just killing off all the militia's with our mighty military will not solve the problem It will just create more venom towards america. And- if we don't succeed in bringing stability with this 'big surge in troops', we'll be much worse off, as America will be taken down a notch on the world stage as a country that can no longer effect change in other countries.

Answer 3

you have to play the ideological game.. first move would be to get another nation to take over the policing of Iraq... one that we could trust and that the Iraqis wouldn't see as conquerors.. I'm sure Pakistan would love the job.. we'd get to build relations with them.. they would get to build relations with a major oil producing nation.. and we come out looking like the good guys again... next.. start listening to the world and incorporating some of their ideas.. we don't have to do everything they say.. we are our own nation after all.. .. but we can't blow them off and turn them away as the Bush administration has done. We should also make it a point to not lie to our people and the world about why we are invading nations.... in fact we should make it policy to not invade nations in the premise of "preemptive strikes" ... that phrase is too easily taken advantage of... and the fact of the matter is it's not moral to invade a nation because you "THINK" they may one day be a threat... this would all be a good start... as would focusing our military growth in the area of small tactical units instead of the broad 'toe to toe' military of yester year and improving our intelligence.. one last thing.. focusing on the actual target (Bin Laden in this case) instead of taking tangents into other nations would be good also.. these things would cause a stark drop in global terrorism in just a few short years.. instead of the increase of hatred Bush's policies have caused.

Answer 4

If all countries would fight the problem together it would make a huge impact but some countries prefer to encourage terrorist. All countries that see terrorism as a huge problem should stand against the ones who support it. It is better to fight the problem alone than to allow it to go unchallenged.

Answer 5

the plan is to make people around the world understand that it is a "global" problem and work with countries around the globe. Get cooperation from countries around the globe, i.e. intelligence, airspace, etc., and attack terrorist cells where they exist and train.

Answer 6

I would focus on protecting AMERICANS. We cannot fight every possible threat to America, especially as these threats continue to grow due ot the increase in anti-American sentiment caused by our attacking other countries. I would use all of the funding we are using for the Iraq war to make our country more safe by further protecting our borders and harbors. we cannot eliminate all of the enemies of the U.S., but we can protect ourselves from future attacks.

Answer 7

The democrats have no answers except that everything wrong in the world is caused by America and the Jews.

Answer 8

We need to let them fight their own battles and stop believing that we need to be the bullies of the world who have to spread democracy to countries where it can't be done.

Staying there or sending more troops won't help. There is nothing to win; all that is left is to lose more lives.

Answer 9

... radical "terrorists" have always existed ... hell, we arm and train most of these so-called terrorists from saddam to alquaida ... and thats a fact. ... our founding fathers were "terrorists" ... what about the boston tea party? ... so, this new idea that we are going to go take over countries and slaughter muslims by the hundreds of thousands must have another explanation ...

Answer 10

To let people live in peace. Is that a problem?
