Staying out of other peoples business, not supporting despots and dictators, attending to the interests and needs of ones own average citizen and not just the powerful wealthy few with special interests would, in my opinion, go a long way in combating terrorism. Solve the root cause of terrorism and you won't have terrorism or, you won't have it on the scale we have today. Just look at the Northern Irish situation, who would have thought a decade ago that we would now have a coalition in Stormont and, uneasy though it is, peace in the province? The catholic grievances have been, to a certain extent, answered satisfactory.

It is more complex in the Middle East with the Israeli situation, and the Wests slavish compliance with Israeli and US dictats for the region, at the root problem but, IMHO, it can be done and should be done.
