WORKING FOR A PEACEFUL WORLD

US airspace has just been violated by the presence of an Al Qaeda terrorist. The subduing of the guy does not end the terrorist threat being felt worldwide. It seems annihilation of the "enemies" of Islam is being carried out without let-up. To my mind the answer to this is just to sit quietly and not say anything until all the burning figures burn themselves out. Meanwhile measures on checking incoming and outgoing travellers all over the globe should be strengthened. It seems to me that the terrorists are always on foot -- walking in crowded places, flying in an airplane, or riding a train. Does this mean we should limit our movements also? Not necessarily. I do think that dialogue is still the best. Whoever is funding the AQ groups should be sought for expression of what they want in this world and then for all the UN forces to meet them halfway. I do think no country can solve this problem of Al Qaeda alone. It needs a global concerted effort to obliterate violent ideas, not really to eliminate the individual terrorists or groups but to somewhat pour cold water on their hot heads. Yes, fighting the AQ is like tilting with the windmills like Don Quixote but if we all work together then it is going to be a more safe world, I guess. We can start somewhere and I suggest the above.
