Well, the only way we could've prevented this was with advanced knowledge (not very likely), or Air Marshalls.Quote:

We aren't going to put armed gaurds on every flight, so we will live with the danger.
In my opinion, the terrorism will never stop, even if you take out someone like Bin Laden. This matter should be resolved on the much higher level.Quote:

I don't get your point. At the moment the NATO involvement and UN support seems to mean that this is being carried out in a far more civilized and impressive way than we might have guessed it would be at first - by due process of international law rather than as a feud. Culprits are being found, formerly intrasigent nations are offering to hand over people who we might otherwise have expected them to shelter
Terrosists are not doing this to get any benefit, its part of their beliefs. They're doing this only because they want to. And the fynny thing is that you don't see Bin Laden commiting suicide, no, he sends someone else. THose people are brain washed that if they kill, they go straight to heaven.Quote:

Not really - It just means that they are strong against certain types of attack. World response makes it much less likely that anyone is going to want to do this again (no-one benefited - everone disowned it). Even if someone does try again by implementing UK or if necessary Israeli levels of airline security that type of attack can be stopped or a least reduced significantly in the future.
Terrorists always learn about the "wholes" in the security. And each country has it. Maybe not by using comercial airplanes, but by using something else.
I have to agree that taking out bin Laden (although satisfying) is not going to stop this kind of thing.
I am unsure however as to what really would solve it (certainly bombing innocent people is not the way to go).
Alot of these conflicts are so deeply routed in peoples minds that they will not listen to reason (look at Northern Ireland for plenty of examples of this).

This is a theory. As many do come out from situatuations like this. Now this is not a personal attack on the Isreal people, but what if this is all an Isrealli game to get us to destroy their enemies. Can this be a possiblity. Now if this ever becomes the situation. They would be very serious trouble. How many times aren't situations like this framed on other people so we can help the true enemy. This is just a theory. Maybe a far-fetched one.
These people are not terrorists.
The act of terrorism is to just spread terror, and hope the opposition will be scared into submission.
The people that did this are acting as an army or militia.
They want to kill people. They want to kill as many people as they can.
They see all of America as being a huge enemy, in which every single person is a target. Nobody's innocent to them.
