How I would combat terrorism.

First I would kill Bush - he makes more terrorists than he kills.

Then I would cut the military spending of the world by 50% - those money, in turn, I would use to send aid, food, housing etc. to poor countries / regions. That I would keep doing for 200 years

=

problem solved.
You mean created. You really are clueless. Doing all you say dosent effect Bin Laden and his type in the least. There are poor people all over the world and he sure aint one of them and they dont use terrorism.

I would "combat" terrorism by trying to find the reason why terrorism occurs and try to fix it with diplomacy and negotiations.
OK all we have to do is all convert to Islam otherwise your wasting your breath.

I would fight terror by killing each and every individual convicted of carrying out acts of terror, I would also if possible do it in such a way that they would be denied their spiritual afterlife. The next country that I found to be funding terrorists organisations I would annihilate, and I mean the whole country. I wouldn't make any excuses about WMD or corrupt regimes, I would simply issue the warning and then act. Along with the stick you would need a carrot, this would be improved trade agreements, aid packages and/or military and political support for countries willing to ally against the terrorists.
This is the best solution. From all my studies about arabs and the middle east it seems the only thing they respect is strength.

However this is problably a more likely answer.

Maybe the US and the rest of the free world have to start a new Marshall Plan for Iraq. This will increase the wealth in Iraq at once. People must feel that life is better now.
Also Bush has to insure that in the end Iraqi key industry (=oil) is not dominated by US companies.
I would also start an information / propaganda campaign. Support free press and TV stations. Built my own station. Just cannot leave this to AlJazera (right spelling).
Bush has to solve the Palestina problem. This is one key to the whole problem. He has to raise pressure at both sides. And he has to give the Palstinians some perspective for the future. This may mean more money.

To the terrorist? I do not have the real solution. I would send all my CIA etc. to identify the terrorists and their shelders. Then I would get them. Demand them from the ountries they live in. Maybe their should e an international law and court for them, just like the one they had at Nuremberg.
What if said countries refuse to hand them over do we go to option number 1?
