It is easy enough, being a monday morning quarter back, or for my british friends, coach.
I see a whole lot of whinning and hand wringing, but very little constructive criticism vis a vis the war on terror.
Now, I am far from an expert and really have do not have much of an idea of what needs to be done. It does however appear, that fundamentalist Islamic teachings are the cause. It appears to me, that they wish to go back to the stone age, or close there to, with women being second class citizens and life must be lived under the most strict interpretation of the Koran. Sort of like when the Taliban ruled Afghanistan or Khoemeni in Iran.
Further, there is no appeasing these terrorist, if you give an inch, they will only seek more. They can only see their side of the coin and will not engage in diplomacy.
Yes, Israel has not exactly done well with diplomacy and for that I am saddened. On the other hand, they live under constant threat from terror. None of the ME countries recognizes Israel as a state, not to mention, the ME countries are happy to band together to destroy Israel, six day war comes to mind.
So what do we do? As I said, I am no expert, but obviously, we cannot live in a world, where the next second may be your last, due to some suicide bomber who considers all non muslims infidels and there for are inclined to kill us in the name of Allah.
The world would be a better place, if we could learn to respect each other, but sometimes, the idea of that seems to be beyond our reach.
