    Btw I used the unabomber as an example for two reasons.

    1. To remind that terrorist do not solely come from the Muslim community. Although the large majority of terrorist activities come from them.

    2. Most westerners are very disconnected from the Muslim world. People say to treat the Muslim world in a way we would NEVER treat our own. Most people I have met, regardless of where they come from in the world, are just trying to earn a living, could care less about world politics and are, generally, good people.

    Correct of course, almost everybody is like that but we are all miss-leaded by powerful Groups that want us to be insecure in our beliefs, this beliefs can be anything from Religions to Food or Governments to Music, important is only that we are all different, especially in the west, a culture of "Individualism" has been created but we all have common fears and they are being exploited to make us focus on the "Enemy" that is suggested to us by the diverse Media that is all controlled again by the Groups. Call it Conspiracy or the Agenda or what ever but it is real...

    So as I said; education is the key, regardless if your from the east, West or anywhere in between.

    The west needs to understand that democracy doesn't work for everyone, especially if delivered down the barrel of a gun. Actually, i'm quite sure that the governments understand that democracy is a destabalizing force in the middle east. Which is always good for the oil and war economies.

    Sadly, you are quite right, the Syrian War going on is another "Democratizing" move and not long after it will start in Iran as well but maybe the World will react to not foreseeable events and that may bring the Agenda to a grinding halt...

    Iran already has a "democracy". An honest one? Unlikely, but this is what certain regions need, as sad as that is. How often do you hear of the media mentioning the Supreme Leader in Iran though? This is where the true power in Iran lays, not with their puppet president.

    Iraq was a prime example of what happens when you topple a regime that has complete control over a population and influence in a region. Saddam was an *sshole to his people, yes, but he was actually a stabilizing force in Iraq and the middle east. All the West needed to do with him was keep him in check when he tried extending his power to other nations.

    I am quite sure that the West wants a destabalized middle east though. If the middle east were to join in a true alliance the Western world would suffer immensely. The governments in the west will protect their interests at any cost.

    Correct again...

    A "suicide bomber" is nothing more than a poor man's "predator drone".

    To the citizens of the United States of America from Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II

    In light of your failure in recent years to nominate competent candidates for President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective immediately.

    (You should look up 'revocation' in the Oxford English Dictionary.)

    Her Sovereign Majesty
    Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths, and territories (except Kansas, which she does not fancy).

    Your new Prime Minister, David Cameron , will appoint a Governor for America without the need for further elections.

    Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. A questionnaire may be circulated next year to determine whether any of you noticed.

    To aid in the transition to a British Crown dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

    1. The letter 'U' will be reinstated in words such as 'colour,'

    'favour,' 'labour' and 'neighbour.' Likewise, you will learn to spell 'doughnut' without skipping half the letters, and the suffix '-ize'will be replaced by the suffix '-ise.'

    Generally, you will be expected to raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. (look up 'vocabulary').

    2. Using the same twenty-seven words interspersed with filler noises such as ''like' and 'you know' is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. There is no such thing as U.S. English. We will let Microsoft know on your behalf. The Microsoft spell-checker will be adjusted to take into account the reinstated letter 'u'' and the elimination of '-ize.'

    3. July 4th will no longer be celebrated as a holiday.

    4. You will learn to resolve personal issues without using guns, lawyers, or therapists. The fact that you need so many lawyers and therapists shows that you're not quite ready to be independent. Guns should only be used for shooting grouse. If you can't sort things out without suing someone or speaking to a therapist, then you're not ready to shoot grouse.

    5. Therefore, you will no longer be allowed to own or carry anything more dangerous than a vegetable peeler. Although a permit will be required if you wish to carry a vegetable peeler in public.

    6. All intersections will be replaced with roundabouts, and you will start driving on the left side with immediate effect. At the same time, you will go metric with immediate effect and without the benefit of conversion tables. Both roundabouts and metrication will help you understand the British sense of humour.

    7. The former USA will adopt UK prices on petrol (which you have been calling gasoline) of roughly $10/US gallon. Get used to it.

    8. You will learn to make real chips. Those things you call French fries are not real chips, and those things you insist on calling potato chips are properly called crisps. Real chips are thick cut, fried in animal fat, and dressed not with catsup but with vinegar.

    9. The cold, tasteless stuff you insist on calling beer is not actually beer at all. Henceforth, only proper British Bitter will be referred to as beer, and European brews of known and accepted provenance will be referred to as Lager. South African beer is also acceptable, as they are pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on earth and it can only be due to the beer.

    They are also part of the British Commonwealth - see what it did for them.

    American brands will be referred to as Near-Frozen Gnat's Urine, so that all can be sold without risk of further confusion.

    10. Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as good guys. Hollywood will also be required to cast English actors to play English characters. Watching Andie Macdowell attempt English dialogue in Four Weddings and a Funeral was an experience akin to having one's ears removed with a cheese grater.

    11. You will cease playing American football. There is only one kind of proper football; you call it soccer. Those of you brave enough will, in time, be allowed to play rugby (which has some similarities to American football, but does not involve stopping for a rest every twenty seconds or wearing full kevlar body armour like a bunch of nancies).

    12. Further, you will stop playing baseball. It is not reasonable to host an event called the World Series for a game which is not played outside of America. Since only 2.1% of you are aware there is a world beyond your borders, your error is understandable. You will learn cricket, and we will let you face the South Africans first to take the sting out of their deliveries.

    13. You must tell us who killed JFK. It's been driving us mad.

    14. An internal revenue agent (i.e. tax collector) from Her Majesty's Government will be with you shortly to ensure the acquisition of all monies due (backdated to 1776).

    15. Daily Tea Time begins promptly at 4 p.m. with proper cups, with saucers, and never mugs, with high quality biscuits (cookies) and cakes; plus strawberries (with cream) when in season.

    God Save the Queen!
