What percent of terrorism is unavoidable, and what percent is caused by imperialism and economic warfare?

Answer 1

Unavoidable: 17%
Imperialism: 23%
Economic Warfare: 48%
The little girl who lived down the lane: 2%

Answer 2

What is this "economic warfare" of which you speak? Are you trying to say that it's better to start off going to war and risking the lives of our men and women in uniform as opposed to first imposing economic sanctions against countries who aid and abet terrorists and/or amass weapons of mass destruction? (Don't try to tell me they weren't found in Iraq; I have dozens of miltiary colleagues who have actually BEEN to Iraq and have SEEN them with their own eyes) Or are you still dragging out that old, tired, "We're fighting a war for oil" line that has been disproven so many times that it holds the record for the world's most beaten dead horse?

And let's talk about "imperialism" and its glaring double-standard. Whenever the U.S. sends in the troops, regardless of the reason, we have suddenly become an imperialist nation. But when another country or group attacks Americans, there are always those who will justify it as warranted (meaning the U.S. deserved it), so somehow it still ends up being the fault of the U.S. No matter how you slice it, the U.S. is always in the wrong any time the military is involved. That is, of course, unless you're talking about the time frame between 1993 and 2001, where a certain Commander-in-Chief exhausted our military by sending troops to every two-bit Banana Republic squabble across the globe where the parties involved never attacked or even threatened the U.S. Why was no one up in arms over that?

So let's get back to your question: Terrorism is unavoidable. These people cannot be bought, cannot be reasoned with, cannot be bargained with, cannot be persuaded with kind words or tears...They have already decided that we are their enemies and it is their sacred duty to kill us. And WE THE PEOPLE did NOTHING to provoke them, other than having the gall to simply exist. So get this through your skull: We didn't start this war -- the terrorists did. We didn't declare radical Islam as the enemy -- they declared us to be the enemy. We didn't shed the first blood -- they did.

I feel sorry for you because you obviously hold yourself out as morally and intellectually superior to those who support the war on terrorism, and your ignorant comments clearly show that you are a dupe. You've swallowed the lies of the liberals hook, line and sinker. You think that having beliefs contrary to "the man" makes you a free-thinker, when in reality it makes you a conformist of the highest degree. Have you bothered to investigate any of this yourself? Again, your ignorant comments lead me to believe that you're simply regurgitating what your liberal cohorts have told you, and that you have taken it as gospel without bothering to find out if anything you have heard resembles the truth. Open your eyes and learn to seek and judge for yourself.

Answer 3

Well the religious Muslim terrorism is unavoidable. Currently none of it is caused by imperialism or economic warfare. That doesn't mean that in the future these things won't cause some terrorism

Answer 4

Depends what you define as terrorism, but at any case terrorists are still evil politicians like all evil politicians - just like stalin killed people in the name of his ideal of communism people like bin laden arrange for others to be killed while he makes his millions...

to give you a more specific answer, ALL political events including terrorist attacks have economic motives - as well as economic consequences - the two are inseperable...

therefore, it would be very hard to draw a percentage out of that...

you would also have to decide which source to rely on for your information: the media in your country, the announcements by the terrorist groups, the respective governements etc...

tough question

Answer 5

I think more than 50 percent

Answer 6

Hmmm how many terrorist attacks have been made on countries not involved in economic imperialism, who have no military on foriegn soil? Maybe 1%?

Answer 7

When it happens,100%.
It could be avoided by getting in people's minds and by stoping the oppresion. One is unconstitutional and the other is a liberal view. So, I guess the option for Bush is going unconstitutional.

Answer 8

Terrorism is unavoidable, they want you dead because you don't share their beliefs. Imperialism is just a catch phrase.

Answer 9

As long as there is religion, there will be terrorism.

Answer 10

that depends on what percentage of your fried up fricking brain is working.
