naomi24 - "A friendly chat around the table with a nice cup of tea might do the trick."
Yes, I appreciate that my approach appears naiive and soft, but I honestlyu believe it is better than simply throwing in more violence.
We are dealing with people who have not advanced culturally for seven hundred years.
The cultural gap between the extemists and the West is canyon sized, but that is not an excuse for refusing to address the bridging of it.
To send in bombs and troops is simply acting according to form for the terrorists, it's their recruiting dream, and it simply does not work.
"Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." - so said Albert Einstein, and history has done nothing to prove him wrong.
My approach may be naiive, it may be futile, but it beats the hell out of trying to bomb and shoot terrorists into submission - you might as well plait fog.
