Question/Subject:

"War against Terrorism"...........................
It appears obvious that America, the UK and Israel are losing the "War against Terrorism". What, in your opinion must be done to accomplish this.

Its hard to fight terrorism.
Nobody can tell its outcome for sure,though......
If I had the recipe,I wouldnt reveil it here.....

However,
lets take Lebanon.
This country embraced a terrorist organisation in its democracy and whats more,its government.

That makes it impossible to fight that terrorism effectively.
So,the present strategy to tackle hezbollah is the only way.They dont need my advice there.....Im sure,they will make sure to reach hat goal!(a long way to go,though)
Nobody should be impressed by hezbollah-publicity provocations.
Israel is doing an effective and excellent job.

So,
till now nothing new.....

Then Afghanistan.
Fighting terrorism is tough and a longterm effort.We are currently busy,doing a reasonable job,so,they dont need my advise over there neither.....

Iran.
Is closely under surveillance.No need to escalate circumstances at this point.

Iraq.
Lately new measures have been announced and taken,to improve police exposure.Terrorism in Iraq is and should be handled as a domestic problem.Its tough,but there are no signs of giving in.

Overall.
I cant reach the conclusion,that we are losing the war on terrorism.Its a longshot and tough process with a lot more casualties to go.
I am convident,that eventually,terrorism will be beaten.
The overall goals include also financial means,tracking down networks,taking on supporters.
What Israel is doing,as sad as it is,shows,what ultimate measures are at hand to eliminate terrorists and their bases.

The main goal is to control events and minimize terrorist threats.
I think,that goal will be reached.(Re-)Educating people from within would be of great help to.
It happens too much,that people are forced to support terroristic groups(social control).
Once the (domestic)threat is taken away or people feel supported by the regular government,influence and possibilities of terrorits will deminish.

Dont give in and be confident.


Its my assesment,that the world is tackling terrorism as good as it gets,with plenty of options left.
