Six Responses to Religiously Inspired Violence

Response Six

The Default Response

Ignore all the options that require action. Pretend that the proposed solutions are just the ramblings on another lunatic. Continue to live by accident and by default. Let whatever happens happen. Just keep in mind that solutions Solution #1.a and Solution #1.b are the default responses.

Solution #1.a Business as Usual: Continue to ignore the real human problems. Ignore root causes. Ignore solutions that will actually end the problems. Continue to treat symptoms. Continue to limit anti-terrorist activity to a defense strategy only. Continue to provide zero consequences to those who promote and endorse genocide and mass violence. Pretend the wars in Iraq is about ending terrorism. Do more of the same. Do the same thing harder. Pretend it's OK, because someone else's country got bombed and ours didn't.

Continue to spend Billions of dollars building dysfunctional security systems that give the illusion of security. Continue to allow vowed mass murders to roam freely because they cannot convicted under our present legal system. Continue to allow those who publicly promote mass murder to be protected by the right of free speech, by political immunity, or by national sovereignty.

With about five to ten more years of this tactic, Nature's Doomsday Machine ² will become unstoppable and, in just a few more decades, Global Climate Change will kill over 5 billion humans. After that, nobody will care about whose bombing their neighbors because there won't be anybody left to do the bombing and there won't be any neighbors to bomb. This will definitely end global terrorism.

Solution #1.b War as Usual: Continue to threaten, push, shove, kill, injure, and destroy! Continue to spend half the planet's resources on creating and using tools of death and destruction. Be more violent than the opposition, thus forcing the so-called enemy into submission. Continue to limit anti-terrorist activity to a defense strategy only. Continue to provide zero consequences to those who promote and endorse genocide and mass violence. Continue to pull 10 billion dollars a month out of the hands of the seriously overburdened and struggling, U.S. working class and spent that money on death and destruction.

During the next five to ten more years of pushing, shoving injuring, killing, and destroying, some idiot will very likely set off a nuclear device, or chemically poison vast areas of the world, or let a biological weapon loose that will kill only a few hundred million people. That's OK because Nature's Doomsday Machine,² which we continue to ignore, will come along and, in just a few more decades, Global Climate Change will kill most or all of those still alive. This will definitely end global terrorism.
