My three step plan to stop terrorism against the U.S.
 

1) Cease our support of Israel. Cut off all foreign aid to them and stop supplying them with weapons, permanently.

2) Pull our troops out of every country in the world. Bring them all back home.

3) Apologize to the Muslim world for all of our crimes.

Most people with common sense can see that this plan would stop terrorism- we all know that most terrorism is committed by Muslims.

Some people on here will say that this plan sounds like appeasement, and it is. Is there something wrong with that? Al Quaeda will have no reason to attack us after this. If they do of course we will pwn them, but they won't. Attacking us after these steps are accomplished for revenge or something like that would just be stupid.

Some on here who say it is appeasement would prefer a more macho proposed solution, like the status quo. But this plan won't work. We will never win the war on terror with violence.

My three-step plan is the best option.

Well that would certainly help, but I think you underestimate the economic reasons behind the hatred of the west.

Besides, this might curb terrorism from a certain group, but radical group X would just pick up where they left off.

Good points, Frank. So we must add a few steps:

4) give all our money to anyone who thinks we have offended them.

5) sell ourselves into slavery and let them adopt our children and raise them in the "true" religion.

Surely, this will end the terrorist war against us.

Re: My three step plan to stop terrorism against the U.S.
 

Even more direct. Kill 1,000 militant muslims for every US citizen killed. If this doesnt work add a nought. They immediately get the message. keep attacking the west we will be liquidated as a race/religion.

ps i agree with your bit about Israel they have caused the west untold problems in the middle east and certainly are not our allies, they do whatever suits them and only that.

Re: My three step plan to stop terrorism against the U.S.
 

Your 3-step plan would obviously remove almost all anti-US/ anti-western terrorism. They would have no reason to conduct such attacks anymore.

I think in certain situations foreign interventions can be a good thing but it can't be led by US since US troops are insensitive so much hated that they always end up putting extra fuel on the fire.

Yup, that's the only logical conclusion to admitting that there are economic reasons behind the hatred of the west. It's that kind of black-and-white thinking that makes this country great!

This person is the only sane poster in this thread. And it's not close.

BTW, Counter-Terrorists win here. If Osama Bin Laden has a very specific, reasonable list of concessions he wants the West to make, than Bin Laden might get things done in the fashion of the IRA, Lebanon, Vietnam, etc.

Otherwise, Al-Qaida's going to get smashed (and it's not going to be close).

Oh, and capitalism winz. Economics matter, and poverty hurts.

My 8 Step Plan To Winning the War on Terror
 

1. Convert the Entire USA to Shi'ite Muslims.
2. Issue a Fatwa that all Arab Sunnis (except Kurds) are heretics and should be killed as infidels.
3. Kill them
4. Convert the Entire USA to Sunni Muslims.
5. Issue a Fatwa that all Arab Shi'ites are heretics and should be killed as infidels.
6. Kill them.
7. Convert back to our previous faiths.
8. Drink a beer to celebrate a job well done.

I'm sure that's what Chamberlain thought after letting Hitler have the Sudentenland. What I think is wrong with your logic is that you're trying to give reasonable motivations to unreasonable people.
