22 Mar 2017 – In the wake of the terror attacks in England, France, Germany and elsewhere, can we finally admit that the war on terror is an utter and complete failure<\/a>?<\/em><\/p>\n

So if the war on terror has failed, what should<\/em> we do to stop terrorists?<\/p>\n

10 Ways to Reduce Terrorism:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

I. Stop Overthrowing the Moderates and Arming Crazies<\/strong><\/h3>\n

We know it\u2019s a difficult concept to grasp, but if we want to stop terrorism we should \u2013 (wait for it) \u2013 stop supporting<\/em> terrorists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Specifically, we\u2019re arming the most violent radicals in the Middle East<\/a>, as part of a really stupid<\/a> geopolitical strategy to overthrow leaders we don\u2019t like (more details below). And see this<\/a>, this<\/a>, this<\/a>, this<\/a> and this<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re directly arming and supporting<\/a> folks who are committing summary execution, torture, kidnapping, and imposing Sharia law at the point of the gun.<\/p>\n

But \u2013 strangely \u2013 we\u2019re overthrowing the moderate<\/em> Arabs<\/a> who stabilized the region and denied<\/em> jihadis a foothold.<\/p>\n

U.S. allies are directly responsible for creating<\/a> and supplying<\/a> ISIS.<\/p>\n

If we want to stop terrorism, we need to stop supporting the terrorists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

II. Stop Supporting the Dictators Who Fund Terrorists<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Saudi Arabia is the world\u2019s largest sponsor<\/a> of radical Islamic terrorists. The Saudis have backed ISIS<\/a> and many other brutal terrorist groups. And the most pro-ISIS tweets allegedly come from Saudi Arabia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to sworn declarations from a 9\/11 Commissioner and the Co-Chair of the Congressional Inquiry Into 9\/11, the Saudi government backed the 9\/11 hijackers<\/a> (see section VII for details). And declassified documents only amplify those connections<\/a>. And the new Saudi king has ties<\/a> to Al Qaeda, Bin Laden and Islamic terrorism.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia is the hotbed of the most radical Muslim terrorists in the world: the Salafis<\/a> (both ISIS and Al Qaeda are Salafis<\/a>).<\/p>\n

And the Saudis \u2013 with U.S. support \u2013 back<\/a> the radical \u201cmadrassas\u201d in which Islamic radicalism was spread.<\/p>\n

And yet the U.S. has been supporting the Saudis militarily, with NSA intelligence<\/a> and in every other way possible for 70 years. And selling them massive amounts of arms<\/a>. And kept them off of the lis<\/a>t of restricted countries for immigration.<\/p>\n

In addition, top American terrorism experts say that U.S. support for brutal and tyrannical countries in the Middle east \u2013 like Saudi Arabia \u2013 is one of the top motivators<\/em> for Arab terrorists<\/a>.<\/p>\n

U.S. and NATO-supported Turkey is also massively supporting ISIS<\/a>, provided chemical weapons<\/a> used in the massacre of civilians, and has been bombing ISIS\u2019 main on-the-ground enemy \u2013 Kurdish soldiers \u2013 using its air force<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The U.S.-backed dictatorships in Qatar and Bahrain<\/a> also massively fund ISIS.<\/p>\n

And the U.S. and Saudis are apparently committing repeated war crimes<\/a> in Yemen \u2026 which will only fan the flames of terrorism.<\/p>\n

So if we stop supporting the tyrannies<\/a> in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Qatar and Bahrain, we\u2019ll get a two-fold reduction in terror:<\/p>\n
