You Cannot Eliminate Terrorism By Killing Terrorists

You cannot eliminate terrorism by killing terrorists, because when you kill one terrorist, you radicalize all his friends and neighbors and relatives, and you end up creating five new terrorists for every one you kill.

Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) September 11, 2004 -- This is the fundamental mistake of the failed Bush/Israeli strategy: they try to eliminate terrorism by killing terrorists. This only makes things worse, because when you kill one terrorist, you radicalize all his friends and neighbors and relatives, and you end up creating five new terrorists for every one you kill. (Or something like that.)

So the more terrorists you kill, the worse off you are. Better not to kill any of them, but try to think of something better.

Do the math: kill 1, create 5; kill five, create twenty-five; kill twenty-five, create a hundred twenty-five; kill a hundred twenty-five, create six hundred twenty-five. See: it doesn't work!

There are 1.6 billion Muslims in the world. If less than one tenth of one percent become active terrorists against us, that is a million-person army of dedicated killers, trying to kill us. Do we really want to have this?

No! This is no good! Killing terrorists is the wrong way to eliminate terrorism, because it keeps creating more and more of them.

We need to do something else, something totally different. What? I don't know; maybe "Happy Pills," if only that were possible. But killing terrorists is not the way. It will never work, but only make things worse.

Blessings to you. May God help us all.
