So why did we have 9/11? Wasn't that before we went to war?
Instead of terrorism, the report cited climate change; competition over resources; socio-economic marginalisation and global militarisation as the main threats to peace and the likely causes of future conflict.
How can some people reach this level of stupidity?
Talk about a think tank full of stupid.
[sarc]omg what wil we do? what will we do? If we leave them alone maybe they'll content thelseves with flying a plane, or 2 into our most important goverment buildings.. if we don't leave them alone... why they might fly twice the number of airplanes..! [/sarc]
Sounds more like a septic tank
These people are GALACTICALLY, no SINGULARITY STUPID. So stupid that even light from their stupid-burning systems cannot escape.
Sheesh.
Useful idiots.
"diversion"??????????????
It probably increases the risk of terror attacks on other countries, but it has reduced the frequency of terror attacks on the US.
Oh, if only we had given those bullies our lunch money like the Democrats wanted to do!!!!
Group says killing Nazis caused attacks on England...
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.
Of course before Bush sent troops to Afghanistan, we had no acts of terror committed against us by Islamo-fascists. </sarcasm>
