LONDON (AFP) - The US-led "war on terror" is increasing the risk of terrorist attacks and distracting governments from greater threats to global security such as climate change, a think-tank warned in a report.

Yes No

The Oxford Research Group urged countries, especially the United States and Britain, to rethink their security policies to counter future instability.

"The war on terror is a dangerous diversion and prevents the international community from responding effectively to the most likely causes of future conflict," a press statement about the report said.

This just goes to show, if you think long enough you can come up with the exact wrong ideas. Think about how the management in many businesss always seem to go the opposite way the employees think they should. It's because they have so much time to think that they eventually run out of ideas and come full circle.

Its a trademark of Liberalism and it does not surprise me at all.

My apologies. I respectfully withdraw my question! :-)

This is a non series study which assigns the blame for Islamic terrorism to global warming combined with capitalism and, IMO, seems to call for world socialism as the cure. It is an extreme discredit to Yahoo that they published it.

Beyond that, It seems fairly obvious that decades of non response to Islamic terror in the US encouraged them to keep at it until they scored big. Certainly the short term danger from terrorists is increased by the actual hunting of them, but the long term danger of allowing them to flourish unchecked is unacceptable in this age.

So why did we have 9/11? Wasn't that before we went to war?

Yes, but it was long after Islamofascism went to war against us. It is vital to recognize that our own Pres Carter's policies of appeasement gave a faltering (since the end of the III Reich) extremist Muslim theocracy the credibility to recruit and develop political power.
The issues of concern to the nonthinking British think tank are of no consequence to Islamofascists. They actively seek a stone age economy with Middle Ages technology. That, perhaps, is the link between Islamofascism and the Eco movement. They are both on the same page regarding technology and the nation state.
As such, both must be viewed as enemies of democracy. The enemy within is more dangerous than the enemy without.

More like a "stink" tank. LOL!

Of course before Bush sent troops to Afghanistan, we had no acts of terror committed against us by Islamo-fascists. </sarcasm>
