how to end terrorism at a single stroke
// PLEASE CIRCULATE TO ALL CONCERNED PLANETARY CITIZENS //

an apology & solution offered to all arabs to end defensive jihad terrorism
by a citizen of the west

WE WHO CALL FOR PEACE MUST OFFER MORE THAN JUST THE HOPE THAT THE PROBLEM 
WILL GO AWAY.  PEACE IS A RESULT, NOT A SOLUTION!  IT IS THE RESULT OF 
ACTIONS TAKEN TO RESOLVE A PROBLEM.

TO END DEFENSIVE JIHAD TERRORISM WE MUST IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM, THEN DEAL 
WITH THE CAUSES.

THE PROBLEM/PEACE SOLUTION
1. except where we are able to admit our own far far worse & far far longer 
term terrorism, we must stop seeing it purely as terrorism.
"The killers are those who kill - and that includes our pilots as well as 
their bombers. We don't want to kill civilians, but we know that our wars 
will do that, and death does not come more pleasantly or less painfully 
because the victims are killed by the supposedly benevolent West rather 
than the supposedly cruel East. Now we are beginning to pay the 
price."  Robert Fisk

2. al-queda leaders have made very clear all along that they are fighting a 
defensive jihad, the only one permitted by islam - the kind saladin fought 
successfully against the christian crusades.  indeed, as I read mohamed's 
words, such action is obligatory on all muslims when the Faith / Faithful 
are under attack.  once a defensive jihad has been declared, aggressive 
attacks on the Enemy become permitted, even required.

(if your response is THEYRE ATTACKING US!, then ask yourself how many arab 
soldiers are positioned in your country.  and if u say, after all this, 
that our military were invited in by some MEGA FAT QUISLING SHEIKH, then I 
say u r a baboon :))  such ignorance is a geometrically accelerating danger 
to me and to all people on this planet.

3. we ALREADY KNOW against what those thousands of terrorists and hundreds 
of thousands of supporters are defending. and their demands are eminently 
reasonable:

A.  REMOVAL OF ALL FOREIGN TROOPS FROM ARAB LANDS (except UN)

B.  IMPOSITION OF A UN AGREED PEACE SETTLEMENT AROUND ISRAEL'S BORDERS. 
(militarily if necessarily, and for as long as required -  like yugoslavia).

these are an absolute minimum, are eminently reasonable, would already stop 
the massive spread of terrorism in its tracks, and would save hundreds 
(possibly hundreds of thousands?) of western lives over the next 
decade.  meanwhile the withdrawn personnel and equipment should be put to 
protecting our own homelands and borders.

C. FINANCIAL COMPENSATION FOR ALL FORCED CONTRACTS AND CRIMES AGAINST THEM, 
AND A SIMULTANEOUS CANCELLATION OF ALL WORLD DEBT (for the same reasons - 
and let's pray the africans and the indians will be more 'understanding' 
than the arabs!)
removing soldiers and settling the israel question only delivers a level 
playing field, it would not be nearly enough to compensate for all the 
bullying terrorism we have practised on their civilisation over the 
centuries and since the discovery of oil.
what's fundamentally required is not some begrudging inch-by-inch retreat 
but a Magnificent Public Gesture to show Sincerity and Contrition (far 
better than having it forced on us at a later date when SOME terrorism 
continued to develop).  the establishing of a fair "market price" for oil 
would be an excellent step in this general direction - say double what 
we've allowed so far?

the above actions (or UN promises to implement) would, at a single stroke 
or in several steps,
i]  cut off the 'religious' base of the jihad
ii] answer the political grievances
iii] resolve the economic crimes.
they would thus drain the massively spawning community of fanatics of 
public support, the planet would be perceived by all its inhabitants to be 
on a proper and fair evolutionary path at last, the terrorism problem would 
begin to wither on the vine, and surprisingly quickly the present problem 
would be looked back on as having been little more than a learning curve on 
humanity's progress towards globality.

obviously none of this can begin to happen till the dinosaurs have finally 
been shrugged onto the Fossil Record, with the name George Bush consigned 
to History as the planet's Greatest Bogyman & Schmuck.  sounds about right 
to me :)
