63. Why do you dismiss the most common sense, wisest, best answers?
Get rid of Bush.

Stop terrorizing everybody.

And, yeah, improve our health, change our consumer habits, detach from the oil and war profiteers, and other sensible polices, to build real strength at home, and a peaceful and just economy in a peaceful and just world.

You just knock all this over--and say, NOW what are you going to do with the wackos?

Well, maybe we'll have FEWER wackos, if 1, 2 and 3 are accomplished.

What do you want, a police manual?

Terrorist cells are not now--and have never been--a big problem. Good police work is the answer, of course. War isn't. And the more peace and justice you have, the fewer terrorist cells you'll have to deal with.

If people have enough to eat, and dignity and self-determination, and if they feel they have a chance at the redressing of any grievances, they usually are not motivated to commit "terrorist" acts. If they are shoved around, and stomped on, and their land stolen, and their democracies destroyed (Iran!), and fatcat sheiks who lord it over them and steal all their wealth, are seen holding hands with US president, and they see no hope anywhere, a lot more of them might just become fanatical and suicidal than would normally be the case among any given peoples.

Further, I would say that our secret government--the one that CREATED Al Qaeda and FUNDED Osama bin Laden--is way, way out of control. God knows what shit they're stirring up now, with more of these Bushite criminals in action, and the Bush Cartel in charge.

Be just with other people. Be peaceful in your intent. Stop lying. Stop stealing from others in the name of "freedom." Stop sicking global corporate predators upon the world in the name of "democracy." And you will likely see a lot less "terrorism" and a lot more cooperation, prosperity, fairness, honesty, friendliness and good government all around.
