International terrorism is the biggest problem that occurs now. The whole world is paying attention to this situation. Economic crisis, sicial problem and political problem are influenced by violence and terrorism. Many countries are damaged from these situations such as USA, Saudi Arabia, Israel etc. All of these countries should find a solution to solve these problems. One of the solutions to protect them from terrorism is, to check all of tourists who enter and exit their countries. What do you think about it? |

I think it is a big problem. They should find the solution to solve it because it has affect to the countries which have terrorism. I think one of solution to protect them is, to issue a law for terrorism and the law should strict and distinct |

Are you sure? I know, that this is a question of definition, but what about those human beeings, living in Africa, Asia or South America, who are dying exactly in that moment, because they've got nothing to eat or because of epidemics etc.... I assume, there are more people dying because of that, than people, dying because of terrorist attacks.

I think, that works upside down, too. Did you ever think about reasons for terrorism? I suppose economic crisis, social problems and political problems are important factors for that thought.

I guess, that won't work. You can't solve a problem fighting against its consequences. You have two find the reason and try to eliminate it. I know, that this sounds much more easier than it is done, but by answering terrorism with terrorism, nobody will get happy.....

Anxi, I agree with you.
piyabude, what would you feel if you go, for example, to France adn they check you? This was another "Bush great idea", as so many...
I don't know what do you watch on TV but, for instance, I can see millions of children that must work because they don't have anything to eat. And the problem is that there are few people who have or control the 75% of the wealth of the planet. And this is an economical problem.
I think that the terrorism is, on one hand, a religious, and on the other hand, a "consequece" of the economic crisis and social and political problems (not the "reason" but the "consequence").
But, well, this is just my opinion. Only one thing: where are you from?

Hello, I�m Thai boy. I interested in the story about the terrorism since I heard name of one person, his name is Bin la den . I would like to know this story in your opinion too.
I thank that the people have different idea with this topic. I assume, someone believes that it is the biggest problem because they got affect or consequence from the terrorism attacking directly. However, someone don�t believes that it is the biggest problem because they got not affect or consequence from the terrorism attacking directly and they seen the situation from T.V.
In my opinion, I think that the terrorism is a important problem and they must hurry solve it because it is dangerous for people and place in the region and it is back ground of the people wanted anti the government in that counties such as at south state in Thailand, the terrorism attacked the police station and military camp for it wanted a arms of them and the sneak burn the school about 10 place every years. In addition, the government lost of money to protect the terrorism proximity 100 millions $ every years. If the countries with out the terrorism, the government in that countries can induce this money to solve other problem in the countries example economic , in need of food etc.
Last, I believes that many countries in the world receiving this problem and I think that this problem intensifying every day. |

Here, in Spain, we have "ETA", a terrorism grup, and I know what are you saying, but I think that there are a lot of differents kinds of terrorism. And, about Bin la Den, well, it was really awful, but if 2700 people died in NY, 27000 die every week because they don't have food. And they are innocent too (so, terrorism is a big problem, but not the biggest one). And, finially, I think that, in some sense, many of the terrorists are or have been supported by a lot of governments, even these governments that, now, are their "enemies" (we have a recent example with Iraq). _________________ Para sentir no bastan cinco sentidos... |

There was no doubt about, whether this problem needs a solution. The main question is, how to solve it. And there is the problem. Does it really help, checking every single person arriving in this country? Will the anger of the terrorists (who are also human beings, so there has to be a reason, why they do so) end? I guess, they will think of new ways to attack the country (another sad thing: often they don't attack the government, but the civilists ) and as you can see (WTC), they are very creative.

Hi every body.
I am a Thai boy. I interested in terrorism. Because in my country has a terrorism problem.
In my opinion, I think International terrorism is the biggest problem that occurs now.
Because in the world have a war. A big cause of war is terrorism. Now, in any where of the world have terrorism such America, Europe, Asia till in my country Thailand.
My country is on South East Asia. My country has a problem about terrorism in south of country. Recently, the government confronted of terrorism.
The government wants to wipe up terrorism. Because recently the terrorism to fire in school. Next, they attack a military camp to rob a weapon.
The effects from terrorism are people in nervousness, Social problem and Economic Crisis.
Because when the country has a terrorism problem tourist don�t to visit that place.
Conclusion, I strongly agree with piyabude that terrorism is a biggest problem in the
World. _________________ powered by Bancha011>>edrit<<>>edrit<<INC

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii
I have just read interesting and respectful ideas here but I have to differ with some of them. I think terrorism is a consequence of social, economic problems I agree with this opinion. But on the other side, it can be justificied that in order to resolve it the only way is to support terrorist group??????. The question is, supporting terrorism the countries will be able to reach politics results. I hope not. Although I share the idea that hunger is one of the most important problem in the world. I have never supported and justified the creation of terrorist groups in poor countriesto solve it. So that, the richer countries would star to give back the money which had stolen before. _________________ I could dance with you till the cows come home...On second thought, I'd rather dance with the cows when you came home |

I guess, noone in here told, that terroristic groups should be supported. But just as little the solution for this problem ist checking every incoming person at the airport or wherever.
I suppose, your last thought is difficult. Even if "the richer countries" would give the money, they had "stolen" (this is also difficult... "they had stolen" would mean "everyone living in this country, it doesn't matter when", I think, that is the same like judging about "the Amaricans" - to judge about a country, a continent or a social class in general means to make no difference.), this would be not the way, it ought to be. The people, who have enough money should give the money to those, who haven't got enough money, because they think, it is right. I know, that this is a Utopia, but that would be, what I call equality. _________________ "An eye for an eye will make the whole world blind." Mahatma Gandhi |

How curious!, we started to write about USA and controls to avoid the terrorism and now we are speaking about the solidarity related to the countries in order to avoid this terrorism...
Well, I wanted to know what do you think about Islamic kamikazes. What do you think that is the last thing in theirs minds? They have family and they know that they will die because "they want" (in the sense that they can avoid it). Is religion so determinant?

I strongly agree with you. Economics inequality is one of the most important problem in the world as well. something should be done. _________________ I could dance with you till the cows come home...On second thought, I'd rather dance with the cows when you came home |
