And how do we do something that will reduce the likelihood that they turn to terror as a solution?
The belief that you can talk to and reason with Middle Eastern Radicals is more naieve that Bush and Cheney thinking that Iraq would be fine without a strong controlling force.
Middle Eastern culture is VERY different from Western and Far Eastern culture. THe deserts breed a different kind of people that does the rest of the world.
And of course, you can't talk to madmen. If a man is so incensed with anger, hatred, and "piety" that is willing to blow himself up kililng tens, if not hundreds, of children with him what can you say to him to make him change his mind?

  I think generally less involvement in their affairs and sovereignty would be a good first step. People don't like cops.

  "People don't like cops."
  I don't have a problem with cops at all. Some of my friends are cops, imagine that.

      I think the only way to win "The War on Terror" is through human rights and economic rights.

        I've never been one to try and reason with a mad dog. You either get away from it or kill it. If you get away from it, it becomes a problem for someone else or comes back to bite you. So it boils down to one solution.....kill it!
