re: Preventing terrorism

Preventing terrorism is what's important, not waging war.
For instance:
Safety measures in airports, planes.
It's very unlikely terrorists will highjack planes again like they did on 9/11 ; plenty of people have learned the lessons.
I don't believe in chemical attacks because they depend too much on uncertain factors like wind direction; To be effective, terrorists must act very fast. Suicide bombers are very effective, as Israel has learned. Even a wall doesn't protect them.

Why the politicians are spending Trillions $$$ on what amounts to a giant vote buying scheme?
Because those politicians are apparently not allowed (very bad for their image) to change their mind; they must be "resolved", "decided"...like dictators can be.

If it really is all bogus, stop it...Very hard to loose face, isn't it?
