<<< wouldn't bet on that. Terrorism is not the kind of problem that goes away with such methods. At most you can keep it dormant until a more dangerously mutated version comes to life. The real solution is respecting others' needs, education, and prosperity. These are the weapons that will yield long term success.>>>

C'mon Sun...you really think it is possible to change Arab/Islamic sentiment against the west with the use of handouts and niceties. I personally believe once someone hates you, there is little you can do to change that. Unless you have unlimited time and a face to face contact on a regular basis. We are talking about deep hatred, developed over generations, often based on false pretences, derived from a bias media. Tough nut to crack with kindness.

Until the flow of anti US reporting is stopped we'll never stand a chance of changing anything, IMO.
