Inasmuchas some governments and 
environments sponsor or ignore 
terrorism, seems to me that a solution 
to eradicate terrorism might involve 
persistent, patient, diplomatic attempts 
to establish and maintain meaningful 
communications with the leaders of 
countries, societies, religions, 
governments and especially the younger 
or wiser people in such countries, with 
the sincere objective of establishing 
ways in which the younger and open 
minded and wiser people in such 
countries might be helped in a ways that 
might benefit the entire planet in some 
long-term sense. For example, apparently 
there are young people from Israel and 
Palestine getting together to discuss 
peaceful solutions and co-operative 
efforts. There was a recent TV 
documentary about that. I suspect that 
at some point the old, brainswashed 
terrorists, militants and extremists 
might be seen as obsolete by the younger 
or wiser people.

Speculatively,
Mauri
