India is as we speak having a terrorist attack. England has been attacked. We all remember 9/11. These are just to mention a few of the major attacks that the terrorist have done in recent history. They are also saying New York is not under higher security measures for a possible attack there again. What can we do about all these attacks? How do we stop them?

This is not a give up response but one can only prepare so much. We cannot live under the fear of a terror attack right around the corner like a monster in the closet. Every new President has had do deal with a foreign threat to test the resolve of the rookie, and Obama will not be any exception. What could it be who know, but we can only hope that our military has done enough damage to the terrorist groups and our home defenses are up to the test.

I agree we can not live in fear. But we should watch what is going on in India and learn from how. How they did it. So that we can put measures in place to make it harder for them to do it here. Also I think we need to step up our efforts in getting rid of terrorist. England, India and all the other countries that have been attacked need to too. We need to put htem on the defense instead of the offense.

i thought you mean English or london was under attack now and i immediately switch to the news online but could not find any. then i realised you are referring to previous attacks. It is extremely hard to wipe out these terrorists and their cells as long as they have the funds and fundings support from others. Apart from raiding their cells, we would also need to identify those who have been providing them monetary supports for their operations and take them down. once they have no more funds, their operations would be limited and easier to cripple.

We stop them by continuing to be vigilant. You didn't mention that there have been planned attacks thwarted since 9/11, too, so it's not hopeless. Radical groups are always going to exist so the best way to protect ourselves is to be aware of our surroundings and report anything unusual.

These groups are well organized and all over the world. I think the countries that have been attacked should get together and run these terrorist out. Make them so weak and beat down that they will have a hard time regrouping and attacking anyone again.

Unfortunately, that's easier said than done. They form, train, and regroup in other countries, who for one reason or other tolerate their existence and their training camps. Attacking these people on foreign soil can be viewed as an attack of that country that is not officially hostile to us or any of the other countries that have been attacked. Hostile as in a thread to go to war. There might have been animosity and threads, but nothing serious enough to warrant an attack. For these countries the permission to attack such terrorist on their soil is a great bargaining chip. Diplomatic tap dance has to be followed. To top it off, even banding together to do it in lets say the US or Britain, or now India.. well even that is diplomatically problematic. Each country wants to show it's strength, it's ability to deal with such things on their own soil, alone. And nobody wants another country's security forces on their soil, nosying around, maybe seeing stuff they are not supposed to see... Well, and even if you go hunting for them you not always find them. We have been looking for Osama for how long now?...

What do I think? Uh, I'm a firm believer that every war has been fought for the wrong reason. I also believe that America needs to wake up before our President declares a National Disaster and takes over as a dictator. Watch these movies and you will understand what I believe. http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com/ Terror is made by the word being uttered as a scare tactic!
