Developing the Intellectual characteristics required to effectively reduce the Threat of Terrorism

President Bush claims that "The weapons of war are used to maintain the peace." Mr. Bush also said, "This mighty nation will defend freedom at all costs." This is of course true but somewhat counterintuitive because the conducting of wars in foreign countries also tends to generate deeper hatred levels within the minds of potential terrorists in diverse places.

Would it be wise to employ every available resource toward every nations goal of preventing terrorism and wars and replace that self destructive ways and means with a political philosophy that will produce a mutual win/win for all countries and their people?

Get out your Webster's Dictionary and your Roget's A to Z Thesaurus because I'm going to talk about "Principled Idealism" and its characteristics of Righteousness, Justice and Truth in its power to produce unity of purpose, and mutual peace and prosperity for our world.

Why do they hate us, and what can we do to reduce that hatred? Don't accept generalized statements from our leaders, --rather ask the those that hate America's foreign policies.

Stated further, what are all of the reasons that tend to generate hatred toward various countries and their people, and how best can we use our intellectual resources to reduce those reasons or motives that generate hatred levels that lead to terrorist acts?

Of course, there is no level of grievances that would ever justify the totally destructive use of nuclear weapons. The question is: How can we use the persuasion power of the highest principled moral elements of human intellect to eliminate such mutually heinous self defeating unjustifiable means to attain mutually beneficial goals.

Few regimes could ever refuse the tremendous mutual benefits that such "high level practical principled idealism resources" can produce. There is not enough money in this world that can generate the quality of life that can be achieved by implementing principled righteousness into every human relationship equation, including all economic policy making worldwide.

There are numerous ways and means by which to reduce or eliminate wars and terrorism attacks. A war on terror and a national or global defense to defend against terrorist' actions needs to be immediately supplemented with the world's intellectual disciplines of all countries. We also need to apply the fields of psychology and psychiatry to aid in the process of changing policies and communications that will be more just, and which in combination will help to remove the hate driven motivations of most terrorists'.

We should not only be effectively mass communicating with the all the terrorist factions within all countries but also with our own policy makers, corporations, and our people to make the world more just, and equitable for all peoples of our world.

All foreign policies need to be examined for unnecessary injustices, oppressions, and exploitation's. This goes for all private companies and corporations doing business or affecting the policies of the countries containing the identified terrorist factions.

We have not been applying sufficient amounts of existing capacities of the latent talents of our intellectual resources to the critical problem of widespread terrorism.

There has been no attempt, that I am aware of, to negotiate away many of the hatred generating causal source of the motive forces that produce the terrorist mentality. Effective communications at all levels will begin to eliminate the hatred centered motivational sources, this ought to be a first priority in our attempts to eliminate both the short and long-term threats of terrorism and never ending wars. Unmediated hatred is the real enemy of all of humanity. Together we must apply the most cost effective resource investments to achieve world peace and mutual prosperity.

It is doubtful that we will ever get these, "high moral character — intellectually based policies," without aggressive mass communications initiatives to teach their benefits and implement them. We must praise and honor these intellectual characteristics and the beneficial end results generated there-from. The production results of these cultivated intellectual resources must be disseminated worldwide through all the conceivable mass media channels that are possible. This must be done to alleviate any terrorist regime paranoia and secure a new two-way communication system leading to an improved more tolerant human relationship psyche.

If the hatred mind set mentality is altered toward a new comprehensive reality of mutual benefit and prosperity, the terrorism threat is minimized and war is no longer necessary. A total comprehensive homeland terrorism program is required to be carried on into an indefinite forward timeline in order to thwart any nut case threats.

There must be access for the creative intellectual character to effectively communicate a message of mutual equity of opportunity and sociopolitical justice for all, which will lead to synergistic cooperation, understanding, and foster peace worldwide.

Common sense reasoning will tell you that terrorism against powerful military adversaries is totally self-defeating. It is much better to use your intellect in ways that will preserve and protect lives, including your own life. Don't continue to use the wrong means to achieve your ends.

There is a need for all nations and their peoples and resources to be focused on reducing and eliminating the common enemies of all human kind.
