Look, you can NEVER EVER end all terrorism. In order to do that you\'d have to live in a total police state, and one where the government has the ability to read minds. So that\'ll never happen.
All it takes is one person with ill intentions and you\'ll have terror.
I\'m not too worried about bombs and that stuff, because although it is tragic, the havoc caused by bombs is fairly local. What if (when?) terrorists start getting more sophisticated - getting hold of a nuke or biochemical weapons? What if they put something in water resovoirs (sp)?
If a nuke was used to destroy a western city I agree with this guy:
Tancredo: No apology
He believes bombing of Muslim holy sites has been discussed

WASHINGTON - The remarks were hypothetical but the outrage was real.
Facing mounting criticism, Rep. Tom Tancredo on Monday refused to apologize for suggesting the United States could target Muslim holy sites if radical Islamic terrorists set off multiple nuclear attacks in American cities.
"It\'s a tough issue to deal with," Tancredo told reporters at a Capitol Hill news conference.
"Tough things are said. And we should not shy away from saying things that need to be said." http://rockymountainnews.com/drmn/state/article/0,1299,DRMN_21_3937059,00.htmlThe argument that we should not nuke Mecca because those Muslims weren\'t involved is like not holding the citizens of Nazi Germany accountable for the actions of their military during the holocaust. The only way to solve this problem with the
War on Islamic Fundamentalism without massive loss of life is for the majority of Islam to weed out these people - which they are unwilling to do.
No, they aren\'t the front line troops, but when a terrorist needs medical aid or a place to hide from authorities, these Muslims offer them sanctuary.
The root problem is getting Islam motivated to solve this problem. So far, not one person here has offered any concrete consequences if some terrible attack were to happen. The leaders of Islam must be made aware that if they fail to circumvent this "perversion" of their religion, that the US will act. It worked in the Cold War - mutually assured destruction prevented the unthinkable.
This is what most, including myself are complaining about - the lack of the majority to crack down on these people. If they did so, not only would Islam be seen in a better light by the public - the west in particular, but it would also eventually put an end to this ideology calling for the destruction of our society.
