Leagle, I don't think this topic is the place to express whatever problems you have with this Auxois-person.

/ontopic

First of all, thanks for some great answers, especially wrecks and pmb. I really appreciate that you are willing to take the time and share you opinions on the subject... I always learn a lot of things i didn't know and get to see things from angles i haven't looked at before...

I've been thinking about your replys... Lot's of stuff to consider... I'll try to write some thoughts down, although i don't have a general idea to express...

I tend to agree with you, wrecks... War breeds war... if we ever want peace it's the world leaders who need to take the initiative, cause the teorrists wont...

I guess that's what you're suggesting too, PMB.

What i don't understand is why Russia don't put the cards down on the table and offer Chechnya their freedom, as long as they agree to trade some oil to russia... I might not gain any a big economical boom out of that deal, but think of economic military expenses, not to mention the lives, that can be saved...

But's I guess that's just where politics get in the way of a better world.

Honestly i never quite understood nations habit of revenging... Why did the us have to go and bomb those peasants? - well it's quite clear what the reason was, but did they really have to?

I've been thinking a lot about what makes a fundamentalist... It seems to me people here are just stating the obvious about terrorists without asking why a human being actually could do such a thing...
I'm of the opinion that being in the same situation as they are, we'd probably all be terrorists... It's their situation that's the relevant thing here.

I believe that human beings always try to find some kind of reason with their existance. Most turn to several different things... to excell in society, religion, friends, family... accomblishments of personal goals. But what if you're living under condisions where you can hardly feed youself and have no way of ever making your situation change just the tiniest bit to the better?
Then there's only one place to turn... religion.

Now that isn't nessecarely a bad thing. I do believe a great deal of people are finding a lot of help through religion, but unfortunately some doesn't have anything to get through, they'll just stay in. I believe that situation would lead to despair in anyone. Their religion will probably be the only thing that makes them stay alive at that point. There aren't any other reasons left.

No wonder despair turns to blind righteous hate when against those who opress them, or those who they are told, opresses their religion.

I don't know any terrorist personally so i don't have any proof that my theory is right, but i have never found any other explanation why anybody could fly airplanes into buildings and kill children...

And then what point does it make to bomb them?

It's like spoonfeeding their hate.

I'm a idealistic person... I honestly believe that if we supported poor countries with the money we spend on weapons, we won't need those weapons we wont have... I hope.

But i guess that's a pretty long-term plan... And the results probably won't show in time for the next election... There goes the democratic process of making a better world... but that's offtopic.
