I agree with Ebbie and LH. It would be great if we could address the underlying causes that lead people to terrorist activity, and by doing so make terrorism disappear. It will however always leave the Tim McVeighs and Osama bin Ladens who have motives no one can determine. Ideally, Ebbie and LH are correct. Pragmatically, I think PG and I are correct. An instance where people disagree and can both have valid views, IMO.

BUT, what we can all agree on is that sending armies to do things that should be being done economically or politically is not too bright.
