> If you think that war is not the answer to the terrible terrorist attack
> suffered by the United States last week, please sign the petition by following
> the link below, hosted by the U. of Chicago, and forward this link to as many
> poeple as possible, as quickly as possible.
>
> It probably will have no effect, but I feel that we should stress that it is
> not terrorism that should be fought, but the roots of terrorism. Terrorism
> mostly comes from fanatism, and fanatism is nurtured by poverty and ignorance.
>
> Instead of spending fortunes and thousands of lives waging war, why not spend
> the same amount towards improving poeple's well being, health and education? I
> believe that eventually fanatism, hence terrorism, will die out.
>
> I do not mean that those who are responsible for last week's attacks should
> not be punished, but is war the only answer we have? Not only it would be
> unfair for the civilian populations it is bound to affect, but it is also a
> very dangerous toy. It is really time to think about the problem in a global
> way.
