An End To Terrorism?

"Everybody's worried about stopping terrorism. Well there's a really easy way: stop participating in it."

Noam Chomsky

Avram Noam Chomsky (/ˈnm ˈɒmski/; born December 7, 1928) is an American linguist, philosopher,[7][8] cognitive scientist, logician,[9][10] political commentator and activist. Sometimes described as the "father of modern linguistics",[11][12] Chomsky is also a major figure in analytic philosophy.[7] He has spent most of his career at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), where he is currently Professor Emeritus, and has authored over 100 books. (Wikipedia)

Dr. Chomsky's quote is from Iraq Veterans Against The War http://www.ivaw.org/

Dear Reader, I'll add what came to me in inspiration: The U.S.'s "War on Terror" is a contradiction in terms. To go to war is attack someone. What does that make us to him?
