How should America go about winning the war on terror ? Your suggestions

[aneeshm]

As yet , I have not come across a thread asking for suggestions from forum members and posters on how America can win the war on terror . This is a thread where you can express YOUR ideas on how to win the war .

Note : I don't want this to degenerate into a discussion of America's past mistakes and successes . This is a thread for ideas on how to handle the current situation .

Invent a cheap replacement for oil, then get out of the middle east ASAP and let them kill each other all they want :O)

1) Re-elected GWB.

2) Promote democracy in Muslim countries.

3) End hate speech and hate education in muslim schools and mosques.

4) Promote a free press in Muslim countries.

5) Kick France out of the UN.

Force Israel to sign a peace treaty enough favourable to Palestinians to make Arabs and Muslims to change opinion about USA but do not let them think it is because of their demands.

Force UN to sanction severily any state that obeys terrorists' demands, be it Spain or Philippines or any other.

Solve various Caucasian issues

Leave Iraq as soon as local administration will be strong enough to rule on their own

Stop supporting different regimes in Muslim world just because they fight fundamentalists. If support them, demand democratisation from them

Alternatively, they could conquer the entire Muslim world and make me its caliph.

Baghdad is worth not attending a mass.

Kill the male population of an enemy country, take the females as slaves, burn it's capital and salt the earth afterwards.

[Heresson]

And I think solving palestinian problem is actually easier than Karabach one for example.

You're saying the equivalent of this:

Promote freedom by reducing the size and interference of the government on the invididual.

Promote security by raising the size and making the government have more presence in society so the police can be more effective.

You can't promote democracy if one is going to suppress the hate speech. There's Aesop's fable: its probably better to friendly warm the coat, then to try to blow it away with hostile force.

There is no "war on terror" - it will never be won. Lets also have a "war on military tactics" too.

Democracy has some rules. Hate speeches are against such.
Allowing hate speeches is not "more freedom".
You have freedom unless your use of it is intended to hurt others.

You are saying, I believe, that Muslims are incapable of modern civilization.

Look at Turkey.
