Definition of terrorism and what to do about it

Who are the Terrorists

To have terrorism we first need to have terrorists. sounds logic so far? Now who are those terrorists? where do they come from? The answer is as well simple and complex at once.

Terrorists come in all shapes and colors and have thousand faces. What they all have in common is that they are cheap because they are poor. Poor people are easily (miss)lead to all kinds of terror and cruelty. Let's look at Adolf Hitler, he is the best example on what you can do if you have the say and the money and everybody else is just busy finding a way to fill a pot with soup to feed a hungry family. The man is responsible for the terror and death of over 6 million people. Gulty a s charged. Now is anybody here who believes he could do that again would he live today. No way! There is just not enough poor guys around anymore in Germany.

How does terrorism develop?

That said about the terrorists; now the terrorist leaders are a completely different story. As I've mentioned above the best ground to find all kinds of willing people, to commit all kinds of cruelty and crimes, is poverty.

And that is exactely where the terrorist leaders kick in. There comes a rich guy like Bin Laden, who has literaly all the money the poor guys couldn't even dream of. Even thoug Mr. Rich Guy is rich, he is angry with somebody, mostly a family member, and his disagrement leads to a revolutionary behavior kind of thinking that can well become dagerous. Now rich guy angry as he is wants to kick some serious bud and needs some help because rich guys don't like dirty hands. Rich guy walks out on the street, catches up with five (very) poor guys, - as poorer as easier to convince - and tells them - do that... get that. And they believe he knows what he's doing just because he's rich and they are poor. So he must know something they don't. And off we go a new wave of terrorism is born.

On this place a word to General Bush and to the follow-up warlord; peanuts or not:

"If you want to make war against terrorism, start by making war against poverty, that would destroy the very soil where terrorism grows on. Help to develop poor countries instead of exploid there oil resources. they ain't got anything elde down there besides of a lot of sand. Not even nuklear warheads or bio weappons or anything like it. But i guess after ten years searching the sand you might have found that out by now."

It would fundamentally undermine and destroy all argumentation the rich guy could throw in, while trying to convince the poor guy on the street, if the western world would change the strategie and throw in a coupple of hospitals instead of bombs on their roofs. There simply wouldn't any poor guys be to convince. It would be jst like you try to recrut terrorists in Germany or the US.

We can not win a fight against terrorism but we can win a fight against poverty

It's not that i want to excuse neither the western warlords against terrorism nor the terrorist and their leaders. Terror has alway lead to terror and it will stay that way until the world stopps spinning. It just doesn't help if we keep looking the other way and shout about how bad the terrorists are. It hasen't changed anything in the last 2000 years and i don't need to be Nostradamus to say that it won't change in the next 2000 years.. When are we going to start fighting the real enemy? When are we stopping to throw all the money in weappons while the guys we are going to fight actually would have been much happier with a plate of rice for their stomach instead of a bullet in the head. And it would have been much cheeper and would take less lives on either side.

I actually started to write a comment, but i got carried away a bit, so let's hub it. My repertoir on not copyrighted illustrations for this hub is very poor, not even the hanging of Saddam, sorry about that.
