This is a radical thought - but I think I have the solution to the War on Terror.
[censored] with long delays at airports in the USA ?
[censored] with the polarisation in opinions ?
[censored] with BinLaden being free - taxes rocketing to fund wars in country's with no WMD etc ?
All because of the war on terror.
Here's the solution.
Binladen and Co are here to stay.
Three years after hunting him in every knook and cranny, he can appear/disappear at will.
Bounties/rewards mean nothing : his people are loyal and he's well protected.
Even if the USA does manage to get him - he has already lit the fuse and
radicalised major parts of Islam.
Logistically, logic says that he has a huge groundswell of support in the Islamic world.
So what is the core issue to all of this dispute between BinLaden and the
USA ?
It's Israel.
The USA needs to look at the War on Terrorism, in a pragmatic way.
Al Qaeda isn't going to go away - in all likelihood.
It seems that they can operate with impunity - due to massive support throughout the Islamic world.
How many Israeli/Jews are there in Israel ?
10 million ? 20 million ?
How many Muslims are there ?
1 billion ?
The numbers game suggest that the USA ought to be trying to engage BinLaden & Co, rather than antagonising him over 20 million people in a country, the size a small US State surrounded by unhappy Arab states.
The USA ought to widedraw support for Israel - make it a phased withdrawal.
To placate Israel - adopt the Balfour Declaration and look at transplanting those 20 million Israeli/Jews to Argentina, for example.
Ok, there will be hue and cry - there'll be chants of racism and bigotry.
The numbers game doesn't lie.
Think about it.
