In my view, the only way we can get the countries in the Mid East to begin to stop terrorists is in one of two ways. 1) it will come as a result of further democratic reform, or 2) it will happen when western nations band together and put a hurt on those countries in multiple ways, from sanctions and economics to outright military destruction.

Westerners just won’t be able to expect that things will turn around quickly with the first option, though. It is the work of decades and a lot of blood spilled in the mean time.

And number two is a dreamers idea if he thinks that Europe will ever so band together with each other, much less the USA!

This is why I support number one, if we don’t weaken in or resolve to keep the pressure up politically within the US itself.
