I've seen a lot of HNers suggesting that we must over react and ramp up the war on terrorism. I'm all for cutting off immigration, but how will ramping up the wars do us any good? I don't see how another ten years "fixing" things is going to work.

Obviously it won't. No one who thinks about it for a second can possible think it will.

We terrorise you, you terrorise us. Only difference is we kill you in far greater numbers than you can ever dream of.

The war on terrorism will end when a new enemy can take it's place. The smart money is on China, but don't never count the Red Menace out, good outside bet they come good at the last minute.
