The war on terror has been going on for 15 years now - are there more terrorists in 2000 or 2015?

Sooner or later, we will have to come to the realization that terrorism cannot be eliminated by force. Stop destabilizing Arab countries, stop imperial interference in Northern Africa, and perhaps we'll see an end to this nonsense.

I agree with you. Unfortunately these attacks tend to strengthen the resolve of the people who want to reshape the middle East.

The other complicating factor is that not-intervening will mean sitting on our hands while civilian populations get badly treated by their governments.

What to do? what to do? I don't know the answer.
