Global Sentiments
Daniel said: "The point I'm trying to make is that by refusing to understand the the social/political/economic situation that is producing the extreme frustration and anger that is manifesting itself as terrorism, we are doomed to spend the rest of our existence with more and more terrorists coming out of the woodwork. Trying to just hunt them down will only produce more." I think you might be a little naive here. I firmly believe that there is absolutely nothing we can do to prevent terrorists from coming out of the woodwork. There will always be terrorsist just as there will always be ants. It's a mental condition that will never be appeased. Just as there will always be mass murderers, rapists and drug dealers. To think otherwise is silly. Daniel also said: "In this country we have stated our resolve to exterminate terrorism. What's makes you think they have any less resolve in their goals?" As it has been since the beginning of time. Hatred and war will persist. Daniel claims: "Their basic goal is to get the people of the U.S. to get interested in what our own government is doing in our names, and to realize that it is unfair for us to continually mess with their countries." I believe that terrorists are psychopaths who enjoy gaining attention for themselves. It's like an arsonist. They love the attention it brings, even if it causes them death in the process. They have weak minds and are easily brainwashed into thinking this attention is for some good. I do NOT believe they are trying to get my attention to change my government. If that is truely their mission, as you state, then you can see by my reaction it's not working and likely will never work. You're trying to claim that their mission is benevolent. I believe it is not. They're simply crazed. They are no more benevolent than the ants that invade my house. And, like the ants, we will never rid our planet of them. We can only hope to rid our local sphere of them. Daniel said: "Their portion of the world has been in turmoil for centuries," You'd think after all these millenium they'd learn what civilization is all about. Yet they keep bumbling on, relying on religion to control the masses and keep them opressed. Daniel claimed: "The terrorists are using horrible evil methods to try get across a message that all the people in that region want to get across." The next thing I expect to hear is that the local rapist is trying hard to tell me that the school system did terrible things to him and raping women is his way of bringing it to my attention. Daniel said: "The majority of them don't want to get the message across using terrorism," I simply don't belive that. Terrorism is like extreme sports. It's a rush. To be able to put the hurt on Goliath must be a very big adrenalin high. If they channelled this energy into something constructive they could achieve amazing things. Daniel said: "but they want the message to get across." The only message I'm receiving is that they are uncivilized barbarians that love to kill for the thrill of it. They certainly don't embrace the sancity of life. Until they do I won't embrace them. chuck Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of my employer.
