Suicide terrorism is a product of real or perceived occupation by foreign powers. Remove the occupations, and suicide terrorism will end. Terrorism is asymmetrical warfare waged by the weak against the powerful when the weaker side is unable to get justice from the more powerful side. End the empire (in both economic as well as military terms), and the injustices and the terrorism will go away. Strengthen the world court (in the US, this would mean becoming a member) and the world will become a much safer place.

Military approaches (by the powerful) to the problem of asymmetrical warfare are for stupid people who want to die.

However, on the subject of the "rogue states", like Iran, the US had an offer of unconditional negotiations from Iran shortly after 9/11, and the US responded, not by engaging in negotiations, but by putting Iran on the US' "Axis of Evil" list. It's not the Iranians who are crazy and suicidal, it's the US government who fits that description.

People who are attached to this missile defense stupidity are people who make their living in the missile defense industry, or who are being bribed by people who make their living in the missile defense industry. They are risking all of our lives for money.
