Counterterrorism Ideas for Day One

How can the next president--and his or her allies across the world--create a more effective counterterrorism policy? As Iraqis battle with suicide bombers, Afghanistan fights a resurgent Taliban, and bin Laden evades capture in the mountains of Central Asia, this remains a critical question for the next administration.

Watch Alistair Millar and Eric Rosand from the Center on Global Counterterrorism Cooperation address these and other issues in Risks & Rewards of a Multilateral Counterterrorism Strategy, an event sponsored by the Better World Campaign and New America Foundation. And let us know what you think by weighing in below or adding your idea to the next president's agenda.

I want to bring all the boys home. That includes all the Navy Ships being sailed back to Home-Port. Then painting them like colorful flowers. That itself should paint a picture of change. After that, we take all of our Nuclear Bombs apart; with or without a treaty with anyone else.
Tell who ever the powers 2b that we want the Unions to lead the way in setting up the Worker Ownership of the Mondragon Cooperative of the Basque in Northern Spain. When that is setup... Mankind will earn an honest 21st century wage.
We the People should have always owned the TV, Oil, Telephone etc. etc., so when we do... there will be plenty of trash/cash to fix health care.
And we must allow Farmers to grow Hemp. We can make bio-diesel from it, along with cloths, rope, paper and plastic.
And the drug war must end. Let all non-violent offenders out of jail. Even if we have to put them on SSDI until they can get back on their feet.
And why not cut everyones rent by 45%. If that doesn't give people enough to have a good time on, cut it to 65%.

Dear Partner Members
World Better Campaign Team

As the Bible is already written and approved to be used in the christian ways, no sense again to start writing another Bible or the word of God, so we have only to believe and then to put it in pratice what is yet written and approved as our rador.

Is the same in our World & Global Union Mission(Community Development) which is yet signed and approved therefore World & Global Accord(s), what to do is to put them in practice only than to say and keeping on writting. For all solutions are yet set up in the World & Global Union Mission, practice is too required only.

Cooperation is so touted, yet what America needs is a PROMISE to uphold this, that is, to NO LONGER INVADE nations unilaterally. The Iraq war already exposed for its unjust origins, we must humble ourselves from this horrible mistake. The new President must admit this failure and commit in more than words to not launch such absurb aggression again. Such destroys our international reputation and only makes the world more want to terrorize the U.S.

To step down from our 'pre-emptive' war stance, to recommit ourselves to a truly mutual and cooperative approach, is vital to redeeming our lost integrity and ensuring national and world security.

Yours In Serving the Truth,

It appears that no one at this time is questioning the basic premises and theories of the war on terror or global terrorism. I think we have to question the basic concepts of terrorism. What are the basic definitions? What is global terrorism? What is the war on terror? Does it really exist? How? There seems to be too many assumptions being made about terrorism and the war on terror in general. Once fundamental questions like these are answered. Then the answers to addressing it begin to emerge. We can then go forward. I realize there are more terrorist attacks world wide, but I also question the whole concept of the global war on terror. It maybe that its more regional than we think. It also maybe that if we offer to treat and negotiate with those who may be labeled or considered terrorists, we may make more peace sooner in the world. I believe most people want peace. Even the terrorists. Everyone wants to be recognized and respected. If we build a world with these concepts as a basis, then world peace could be realized sooner.

History has not yet been written of our future. (John Lennon's death in the big apple made that possible, by these latter days we are living in as to how "they" were shortened.
There was a Peace Treaty out there on the net (which you can not find now. Though I have it on my yahoo360 page...) calling for US to pull all troops out of Muslim Land. In return for them not attacking US again.
You would have to join care2 and look up my profile's message center to get the whole Peace Treaty. (I do not at this time have the yahoo 360 page available.)
Bring the boys home,

The most important step is to eliminate all the limitations imposed by the oxymoronic concept of political correctness. Avoiding terms because someone, or group, has their feelings hurt is, in a word STUPID. We the people and the media must have TRUE FREEDOM of SPEECH. We must be allowed to, and insist that others also, use terms that accurately describe a person, group, or event. We must prevent frivolous legal actions against publications or authors for critical essays. Established laws and regulations of a sovereign country or state must always supersede ethnic traditions and tribal law. Secular law must not be restricted by religious tenants. Religious tenants used to mask totalitarian politics must not be tolerated.

Those ideas given are so wonderful, knowing thatby limiting onlyon onpoint or objective and leave others reduct the power of other points.

So defend those points or objectives which are included in the World & Global Union Mission.

for the pointdefended is among the remain points faced in the World & Global Union Mission.

NEW COMMENT JUST ABOUT MY JOINING IN THE DISCUSSION WITH GRIST:
CLIMATE CHANGE PRIORITIES FOR THE PRESIDENT.

Dear Partner Member Friends
Travis, On Day One
BWC,

As the holy Bible reveals God as the creator of both heaven and earth according to:
Genesis 1:1, so one point or element among those points or elements of God’s image and likeness into the humankind, is ability of creation which goes together with the Development, according to:
Genesis 2:15,
Genesis 6:14,
1 Kings 6:1…,
Nehemiah 2:9-20

So, after the creation of the Heaven & Earth during 6 days, God the creator left the on going system or process of the creation any way Development into the mankind through each one mission, talent, vision, vocation provided by Himself according to His will.
Genesis 2:28

So, what is stated over, has been manifesting in our era by means of the World & Global Union Mission (Community Development) who God the creator by Jesus Christ is the author of its ACCORD(s) or AGREEMENT(s).

Just practice only, both goals of the World & Global Union Mission (Community Development) as the World & Global Union Mission solution(s) into its goals, aims or objectives.

Thanks.
