Murali, the Europeans and middle eastern countries have lieved with terrorism for decades. And they have been almost totally unable to do much about it.

Apart from some black panther and SLA kind of stuff in the 1960s and 1970s, the US has only been touched significantly by terroism starting with the pan am 103 bombing over Scotland, and then the oklahoma city bombing in 1995.

Since Sept 11 2001, the US has been quite effective in tracking down the scumbags who helped plan it and finance it. And so a lot of the the Europeans and middle eastern countries are resentful about that. That the US can get things done.

But the US can't do a lot without others.

In many ways, less harm and bloodshed will occur through modern "war" than would continue to occur under the status quo of brutality, terror and dictatorship as the complacent do-nothing crowd is advocating.

The quest for power is inbred in human nature. So imo the real issue comes down to who has more of it.
