I am not an expert in this whole area, but is anyone? Here are my ideas in this blog.
Remember that 9/11 was carried out by "suicide terrorists". They all committed suicide in the process of flying those planes into buildings. There is something very different about suicide terrorists and what is that? They are very cheap and can be equal to very expensive counter terrorist alternatives. I don't have a figure on that, but it has to be at least a ratio of at least a million to one. That means one suicide terrors is equal in potential damage done by a million dollars worth of regular civilized expenditure or equipment. That means if they had 100 suicide terrorists that it could take 100 million dollars of people and equipment to prevent them from doing their mission. I think that might even be low.
Now look at 9/11. I think it was only about 4 or 5 suicide terrorists who took over each plane that was full of fuel, just like a bomb. They did not have to spend more than the cost of a ticket to get control of the planes. They then drove them into three buildings and totally destroying two, the twin towers. What do you think it would have cost if the suicide terrorist had to bring their own flyable bombs to the party? Do you think it would have cost them at least 10 million dollars, because that is about what those two planes were worth. Starting to see how cheap a suicide bomber is?
Now look at how an army works or a police force. They have all kinds to tools, like guns and planes. They have a reputation of "getting their man". Most bank robbers get caught and punished so most think first and decide not to rob the bank. Now suicide terrorists are different. They know that they are going to get killed in the process, but they do not care. That means that you can have all the policemen or armed soldiers you want and the suicide terrorist does not care. Our civilized system of law works on the concept of "fear of punishment". It works with civilized people, but not with suicide terrorists.
What does work to prevent suicide terrorist from carrying out their plan? The problem is that if you were to set up a system where you were protected from suicide terrorist, you would refuse to live that way. The bottom line is that you have to find these "potential" suicide terrorist and eliminate them and that is the problem. Where is the line between "potential" suicide terrorist and normal people? How sure to you have to be?
Another thing about these Moslem terrorist is that their religion teaches that if they kill a Jew and die in the process that they will go to heaven and further their family will get paid. One other thing that no one wants to say is that because of the inbreeding within the Moslem religion that their IQ's are lower than other humans. If you were to examine those who are the suicide terrorists, I feel that you would find that the average IQ is significantly below 100. Sad but true.
Recall one of my prior blogs about "rewards" and "punishment". I am not sure that this works with suicide terrorists. Some people want to "reward" them to prevent their terrorism while others want to "punish" them. It seem to work on normal civilized people, but I am not so sure about these suicide terrorists Think about it. What do you think that we should do?
