No list X. But, in the future, perhaps we can read different opinions and op-eds, and see who the folks are that are not taking terrorism and hostage taking seriously.

I'm curious, who do you think does not realize this* is not a world wide problem?* Recognition is not a solution.. Most people with half a brain can recognize there's a problem with terrorism.. But most of us are still waiting for people like yourself to offer a few CONSTRUCTIVE, EFFECTIVE, and VIABLE solutions.. And the only effective solution is to: 1.) aggressively target, politically, economically, and if necessary, militarily, those regimes and individuals who promote, permit, tolerate, and facilitate terrorist acts. 2.) Offer a viable alternative to the stagnant economic and cultural conditions that are providing fertile ground for militant ideologies and religious beliefs. 3.) Integrate these economies into the global economic and political framework so that they no longer feel alienated, or exploited by the existing developed nations. Recognition of the "problem" is not going to create any of these resolutions. But destroying totalitarian regimes, and helping the oppressed and shattered lives left behind to restructure and rehabilitate themselves into accountable and egalitarian societies, IS the only way I've yet seen to be effective. We all stand by for your solution, X.. Hawk
