Ok, all you superliberals, how do we fight terrorism?

Question

Do we have meaningful dialogue with them, do we just leave the middle east, do we sell out Israel to the Palestinians, or do we as our President suggests, hit them where they are now? You Bush haters can't stand the fact that not a single successful attack on US soil has occurred yet, can you ???

Answer 1

Fool, terrorism is a type of warfare, a concept. You cannot fight "terrorism" any more than you can fight the tides. No matter what you do terrorism will exist in some form or another. What we are currently fighting are several different groups of Islamic fundamentalists, some of whom are sponsored by middle eastern states. The best way to fight the groups sponsored by states is to pull the rug out from underneath them, i.e: attack, through sanctions or force, the sponsoring states. This would have required lots of diplomacy and subtlety, both of which George W seems to lack. Also, Iraq was pretty low on the list of sponsors for terror groups, at least the ones we should have been aiming at. Better choices would have been Syria, Iran and Saudi Arabia. All of this is pretty much moot now, as we have been handed a near hopeless situation in a quagmire of a country which has turned into a breeding ground for terror cells and also a perfect laboratory for them to perfect their tactics. As far as successful attacks on US soil, no matter what freedoms we erase or to what extremes we go to, it is only a matter of time until there is another one. I personally refuse to let ANY religious fundamental group dictate how I am going to live my life, but most Americans these days seem more than willing to sacrifice their freedom for a false sense of security. Benjamin Franklin must be spinning in his grave.

Answer 2

Terrorism isn't a war against democracy. It actually wasn't whilst i grew to become into residing my first 30 years in N. eire. the U. S. did no longer p.c. to remedy the terrorist subject there. What made a difference is that the U. S. grew to become into attacked. that's the only difference. I stay in germany and Germany has anti terror regulations. Germany additionally has troops in Afgahnastan as do many different countries. The NATO forces are presently in Afgahnastan. in case you're touching on Iraq then you definately have no amazing to ask for different countries help. That had no longer something to do with a war on terror yet had each thing to do with a large oil grab which the finished international observed amazing via and refused to help - apart from england and Australia. the U. S. created the terrorist subject in Iraq via invading a sovereign united states of america. and don't come again with the helping terrorism bullshit the two. Virtuallyevery united states of america interior the midsection helps terrorists to three quantity. There are quite a few countral that would have been invaded - Saudia Arabia, Iran, Syria, Jordan, and a lot of greater. So do no longer flow speaking approximately terrorism except you truthfully comprehend what you're speaking approximately!

Answer 3

The same way the liberal government in the UK is fighting terrorism: with good human intelligence (rather than just signal intelligence) and effective law enforcement. Forging international ties too cooperate with other intelligence services and concentrated military strikes should also be used. And, for one thing, finishing the job in Afghanistan would be a good idea as well.

As far as neutralizing the threat of Palestinian terrorism, putting more pressure on Israel to remove the settlements would probably help. Same with providing development funds for Palestinian infrastructure.

Ultimately, the tactic you use depends on the nature of the terrorist you're targetting. Not all of the tactics used against Islamist terrorism won't work against right-wing terrorism in the US (which, before 9/11, was the primary source of terrorist atacks in the US) and vice versa.

Answer 4

No the attacks have been on your allies actually the Madrid bombers are in court this week also London and Bali (targeting Australians)have had terrorist attacks and they dont need to go to America to kill they have the soldiers as targets how many of them have died.Maybe if the peace talks in the middle East weren't so biased in the Israelis favor and they gave a bit instead of take all the time peace might be possible.The Jews have only been in control since WW2 and outsiders that are of Jewish descent like the ones from West should not be allowed to immigrate there they cause more trouble

Answer 5

Not a super lib, but I'll give it a shot. Terrorism is a global war. We fight it that way. We get allies around the globe and attack terrorists cells where the exist. We fight it with special forces. In and out in a hurry. We don't attack countries that had nothing to do with 9-11. We don't attack countries to fight terrorist.

By the way, the biggest terrorist attack on U.S. soil happened on George Bush's watch becuase:

Bush backed off Clinton administration's anti-terrorism efforts.
Shelved the Hart-Rudman report.

Bush appointed new anti-terrorism task force under Dick Cheney. Group did not even meet before 9/11.

Bush called for cuts in anti-terrorism efforts by the Department of Defense.

Bush gave no priority to anti-terrorism efforts by Justice Department.

Bush ignored warnings from Sandy Berger, Louis Freeh, George Tennant, Paul Bremer, and Richard Clarke about the urgency of terrorist threats.

Bush halted Predator drone tracking of Osama bin Laden.

Bush did nothing in wake of August 6 C.I.A. report to president saying Al Qaeda attack by hijack of an airliner almost certain.

Bush - knowing about the terrorists' plans to attack in America, warned that terrorists were in flight schools in the US - took a four week vacation.

By failing to order any coordination of intelligence data, Bush missed opportunity to stop the 9/11 plot as Clinton-Gore had stopped the millennium plots.

Answer 6

A sucessful attack, like 9/11?

Or do you mean invasion, like when the british fought us in the 1800's?
Either way there have been some pretty sucessful attacks.

Maybe fight terrorism through education and distributive justice. Maybe give the people options besides terror or material deprivation. Maybe increase standard of living and show them why we hold the values we do rather than letting our military kill civilians or havign more children naked in the streets with napalm eating their flesh liek the last failed war. Maybe SOCIAL policies instead of cruise missiles. Maybe we care about them too, thats when we will stop terror.

Answer 7

I agree with Pat C. Not to mention all the attacks that took place on US oustside of the USA like USS Cole just to mention one.
Also not to be American centric, here is a link that list 3,000 Islamic attacks throughout the world from 9/11/01 till October 2005

Answer 8

They do not know, they never had any plan other than to lie to get into office. Now, they still do not have a plan , other than trying to screw up what Bush is trying to do. They want us to be attacked again, they are really dumb enough to think if we are attacked, that people will think they were right. We know better than that, we know , Bush and others who voted for this war are doing the right thing, and I doubt if the Super liberals get much sleep at night, can not stand the fact that we have not been attack again, who knows, maybe they will figure out a way to attack us them self and blame that on Bush again. Israel is very much in a position to and can defend them selves, I am sure they are on the defense. We need to keep hitting them where they are not, otherwise, if the Super liberals had their way, they would already be hitting us again here.

Answer 9

Allow me to retort, The Russians invaded Afghanistan in the 80's and were defeated, how many terrorist acts did they have to worry about from middle easterners. NONE. Why because they didn't continue to stick their nose in middle eastern affairs, and think that they have a right to police the world. It is amazing we care more about the rest of the world more than the people of this country.

Answer 10

um... the terrorists aren't in Iraq and never really were (ok, maybe a few are, but a relatively small amount, no leadership and no where near enough to need a huge invasion force)

do you know who the terrorists are and where their bases and leadership is?... HAMAS, not in IRAQ... AL-QUEDA NOT IN IRAQ, HEZBOLLA NOT IN IRAQ... AND ON AND ON...

so, you're not HITTING THEM ANYWHERE NEAR WHERE THEY ARE... the middle east is a big place with many countries...

when he starts... I may actually start supporting him...

and I'm extremely happy we've not had any attacks and I'm sickened that you would ever think any American would think otherwise...

if you said that to my face, one of us wouldn't walk out of the room... and if someone said what you said to you, I would bet you would feel the same way... why don't you have enough respect for others that many do for you? I don't call you a terrorist....

have a little respect for Americans... even if they don't believe exactly what you believe...
