You can't get rid of terrorism. It's a big illusion that is very similar to the war on drugs.

You'll NEVER stamp out terrorism by "attacking" them. All that does is create more of them. If they were to capture Osama, that wouldn't get us anywhere because of the vast amount of terror cells that co-exist. Someone else would simply take over as leader.

The fact of the matter is we're pretty much SOL. I can't prove it now, but I guarantee you this "war on terrorism" will be going on the rest of our lives.

9/11 made it obvious we needed to do something, but NOT what we're doing now. It's just making it worse. If I'm not mistaken, it boils down to how the US treats the middle east.
