I really dont know,whether we are winning or loosing.I just dont have the nessecerily data available to form up an opinion.

progress is as i expected.....No real progress...terrorism is as guerilla warfare impossible to win for those who are not one of the guerilla/terrorism fighters....terrorism is winning cuz as the name says they want to frighten people...and almost everyone in the western world is hiding in they're basements.

We actually won the fight against the RAF.

**Franconicus** · 07-14-2005, 15:26

No!

They even think to pardon the first.

But they never were more than just a couple of people - and I almost have the feeling that the defeat was rather a mixture of "us" catching some of them and "them" kind of losing interest in their fight.

I agree. But maybe that is the silver bullet. Make them loose interest in fighting us.
By the way, I think the end of the USSR helped a lot.
I just mentioned it to show that there is at least one example that one can overcome terror.

What about me?

That`s for moderators only, can you have a talk with Tosa about that?

Oops ... I actually meant you ... don't know why I wrote Red Harvest - he did not even post in this thread.
I guess I should drink less coffee

Definitely the best way - less bloody for sure. In the case AQ that would probably mean making it more difficult for them to find willing new terrorists.

Not sure how this could be achieved - but I do not think that the total destruction of the AQ network would be an easy task either.
