First off, the war on Iraq has nothing to do with fighting terrorism but with getting hands on the oil and helping Israel to get rid of one of its enemies of which it is surrounded.

Since we are talking of Israel: This country is a telling illustration that the way you suggest to deal with terrorism does not work. You will hardly find a country all over the world that is fighting terrorism with more brutal and unforgiving methods like Israel. I think we can agree in this matter.

And where are they now? Did they succeed?

The only time when there was a glimmer of improvement visible on the horizon was when they tried to make peace with the palestinians. Sharon destroyed the tiny plant of peace then with his provocative appearence at the muslim sanctuary which induced the second intifada (spelling?)



An raging bull can not defeat malicious ants that have invested him by stomping on the anthill. This will only cause more ants to leave the anthill for an attack.



I like this comparison very much because it fits perfectly. And now please contemplate it for a while in order to find a way out of its catchy truth...
