The USA has been meddling in the affairs of countries in the Middle East since the early fifties, having taken over from the English, who did the meddling before, using only slightly less force.
Border lines were drawn, dictators were installed, armed, and toppled, and the civilian population suffered greatly because of this.
People were bound to be slightly pissed off having suffered through all this.
If you want to reduce terrorism, look at your foreign policies, not at monitoring your population.

Nice post. I think we should just try to stop bombing/going into war countries just because some crazy shit is going on down there or because we want some oil. Whatever the reason might be, we should just leave the country alone. The countries we have bombed is in a much worse state now than before. We as in USA, and every other country that took part in this "war against terror" Might aswell be called "The war for terror".

And yet again this morning, before the news has really sunk in, the British Government's first response is "internet regulation"

The war on terrorism has failed from the perspective of decent human beings, but from the perspective of those who directly profit from it---governments, politicians, defense contractors, etc, etc---, it's a great success and that is the problem. It does nothing to keep the population safe and everything to enrich the powers that be. Personally, while I am concerned about the increasing levels of terror attacks, I am still far more wary of government oppression and tyranny----that is the real threat. In fact, far more people have perished at the hands of their own government than by terrorists.

Your post reminds me the terror (and it is also a terror) we live in South America with violence striking everywhere because of traficants and the drug. I just sold my car and I am hostage in my own house so afraid of being on the streets (I know your post is about something else, but I feel so afraid of so many things and this is making my mind blow in fear everytime I hear shouts on the streets and there was nothing happening, just kids playing around). And we have no government to do something, and when population does something, NGOs come and say you can't do this, you have to wait others to do it, but nothing happens. Nothing at all!
Thanks for sharing this post @doitvoluntarily (sorry for venting, I am just scared as everyone else)!

Chaos and bloodshed is what they want. The war is not on terror but on the middleclass/regular folks. Believe me, there is an agenda. They want boots on the ground.

There is something to be said for the erosion of personal liberties that has resulted from the "War" on terror, and you've highlighted those well. And while countries like the United States have certainly stuck it their noses into places they don't belong, you can't lay all the blame at the feet of this country, nor can you even lay most of the blame there.
The Muslim terrorists fighting Jihad against the world for not believing in the word of Allah and submitting to his will are acting of their own accord (or at the will of their God). It is a choice they have made, and while one can understand a desire for retaliation when loved ones are killed in military strikes, etc., the fact is that they are targeting civilians. Civilians! I don't care who or what you believe in; the systematic slaughter of civilians is inexcusable, and until the world starts holding them accountable, until it stops blaming the few countries that have ever stood for personal freedoms, until people stop making excuses for terrorists, this war can never be won.

It's much more complicated than that. It's true that there are Muslim terrorists that will go out and kill innocent civilians, but the problem is much worse than that. Some people from the US government agencies had trained the Muslim terrorist groups to do what they're doing, for more deliberate chaos and to control the people, who are fooled into thinking that their government will save them by reducing their privacy and freedoms.
Look up Wahhabism, the Muslims that's you're complaining about are Wahhabists, the other Muslims are pretty much the peaceful ones that get attacked and bombed by the US government. Also the US government are the ones that decided to go to war without the US citizen's consent to do so.

It's tragedy on the largest scale seen in human history. There's only one way to stop it:

The only way to stop war is to kill government. The only way to kill government is with Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.
