How to Defeat Terrorism
Summary:
Terrorism is a global threat growing rapidly. Despite its complex nature, history provides insights into effective strategies to combat this menace.
Article:
Combatting terrorism demands unwavering resolve, not unlike the strategic decisiveness required in a game of poker. Winning against terror requires a commitment to push through to the very end.
Some believe that terrorists feel wronged and that appeasing them with land or money will end the violence. However, history has shown that yielding to terrorists' demands often only fuels their ambitions further. They will take what they can, yet continue to seek more.
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict illustrates this well. Israel allowed the PLO to establish the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Gaza, supplying weapons and receiving American training to combat crime and terror. Despite these concessions, Israel faced suicide bombings in malls and buses as repayment. Furthermore, when Israel withdrew from Gaza, leaving behind infrastructure for potential Palestinian use, terrorists instead chose to launch rockets at cities like Sderot and Ashkelon.
Some may argue that these issues stem from Israel's actions. However, what motivates groups like Al Qaeda to target the United States?
Some attribute Al Qaeda's anger to the presence of American troops in Saudi Arabia, home to Islam's two holiest sites. Yet, this conflict is not about a foreign presence in the Middle East but rather the wounded pride of one man: Osama bin Laden.
In 1991, as Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, Saudi Arabia sought protection for its oil fields. Osama bin Laden offered his mujahideen fighters to defend his homeland, drawing on their experience from Afghanistan in the 1980s. However, the Saudis chose American assistance instead, a decision that stung Bin Laden’s pride. His subsequent actions aim to establish himself as the true defender of Islam, turning this into a religious war.
Force, not negotiation, has historically proven effective. When terrorists feel pressured, they often call for temporary ceasefires, or "Hudnas." In poker, when an opponent is nearly defeated, the strategy is to go all in, rather than allow them to regain strength.
The only way to overcome terrorism is through relentless pursuit, tackling it wherever it emerges, and refusing to relent against those who wield terror to achieve their ends.
