I Prefer The Destruction Of What Causes The Terrorism. People just don't become terrorists,and as sick as terrorism is,there will always be a root cause behind the majority of these acts.It is absurd to engage a war on terrorism without addressing the root cause at some time along the way. That is not to say you would reward those who engage in terrorism by letting them have their way,but the situation MUST be evaluated on an equal footing and an objective neutral position taken if there is to be any hope for peace. What did you think I meant?That terrorists prevail!? Sheesh!
