Yes we can, It's just not in the best interests of the two groups listed above.
In my opinion, you can fight terrorism if you look at war as a business not as a threat that needs to be subdued in the most effective way. Who looks at war as a business? Those powers would want a government, a nation at war with so-called terrorism in order to use their resources. Should a government fight terrorism in such a conventional method? No, absolutely not. Terrorism is a threat with no specific face or number of leaders, it can shift and change at any time. The worst thing a government can do is fight it like a normal enemy which gives the terrorist a specific target and a reason, the last thing you would want a T organization to have on a nation.

So, why does US Government continue with this never-ending so-called war on terrorism? Why not? Cha-ching!

Are we really better then pre 9/11 or worse? Has the quality of life in the US improved? Individual freedom or privacy?

The correct answer is; you can fight terrorism, but not in the conventional way. If you do it in the conventional way, it is no longer fighting but merely an open-ended business, nothing more.

At least, that is how I look at it. I could be wrong.

The real threat are the people who think they need to use these drugs. Guess what would happen if nobody wanted to use coke, pot, heroin?
Everyone would save alot of money and resources.
Right. Take the red pill and wake up to an ugly reality and take the blue pill and stay in a happy comatose?
