Not to be rude to maurice, but one of the problems is that they hire the wrong people for intelligence work and security work. The israelis early in the countries life could fight Terrorism because they understood it.
Carefully taught well educated young men, cannot conceive of the products of rage. and what you cannot conceive, you cannot stop. The US feels like it is safe, you cannot fight a terrorist when you know you are safe. You send nice young men to iraq, with vacation time, and regular trips home, and all kinds of stuff that means you are not serious in the war you are fighting.
I noticed that while the young man murdered those poor University kids, no one had time for the angst of war. The angst is for the TV Cameras, but your defeat is now written in stone. You cannot win, you have told al Qaeda you are defeated, and unless you impeach the man who claims you are defeated, you cannot prove to American Troops or to your enemy that you are not. When Iran tests it's bomb, it will be a win for the Democrats.
You need to go to the tough guys, the drug cartels, the smugglers and you need to enlist the very best you can find to aid you to fight terrorists, just as you did in the second world war. And you need to put armed marshalls on the planes, and say so. And kill anyone who acts like a terrorist. If they are dead they cannot bring down the plane or complain. |
