Seriously, nuke everybody else- yes, Canada INCLUDED! That will end terrorism pretty much completely, Communism for the most part, and security will never be underminded ever again by countries ruled by thugs, cause, well, they'll be gone :)
See, one thing ya gotta understand: I'm one of the few who doesn't really consider WWII to exactly be a shining moment in our history- I still don't understand why our troops fought the Germans when most Americans back then( and still today) pretty much believed in virtually every piece of philosophy that the Germans did- and btw, our efforts to improve Germany, as you've seen from time that's gone by, have royally flopped. Japan was a success( cause we nuked 'em), Germany was by and large basically a failure.
One other thing ya gotta understand- one major problem humans have is that we're SEVERELY flawed- sure, there are a few decent intellectuals overall, but for the most part, humans let their emotions and their stupidity get the better of them. It's times like these I do agree with the late Douglas Adams who wrote "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", cause I seriously don't consider humans to be very bright. Do we have the intelligence to improve? Absolutely- do we have the willpower and the common sense to DO IT? Um...I'll get back to you on that.
As for whether or not terrorists will win, you have to ask yourself this simple question- "will the USA still be around in about 50 years". Your knee-jerk reaction will be yes, and there's a reason for it- figure it out.
Besides, my friend is more convinced aliens will wipe us out, seeing how primitive and stupid we are, then ANY terrorists. Yeah, I'll have to give my kudos to HIM on that one. ':B-)
