On the Anniversary of 9/11:
How Does Terrorism End?
The current spasm of international terrorism, an age-old
tactic of warfare, is often traced to a bomb mailed from New York by the anti-Castro
group El Poder Cubano, or Cuban Power, that exploded in a Havana post office,
on January 9, 1968. Five people were seriously injured. Since then, almost four
hundred thousand people have died in terrorist attacks worldwide, on airplanes and
trains, in shopping malls, schools, embassies, cinemas, apartment blocks,
government offices, and businesses, according to the National Consortium for
the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism. The deadliest remains the 9/11 attack, sixteen years ago this
week, which killed almost three thousand people—and in turn triggered a war
that has become America’s longest.
I’ve
covered dozens of these terrorist attacks on four continents over that half
century. After the Barcelona attack and the U.S. decision to send more troops
to fight the Taliban, I began to wonder how terrorism ends—or how militant
groups evolve. In her landmark study of more than four hundred and fifty terrorist
groups, Aubrey Kurth Cronin found that the average life span of an extremist
movement is about eight years. Cuban Power carried out several other bombings,
but, in the end, it didn’t last a whole year.
In the run-up to
the 9/11 anniversary, I reached out to eight terrorism experts who’ve long
studied the phenomenon at the C.I.A., the F.B.I., the National Security
Council, the State Department, the Rand Corporation, and in academia. They
identified six ways terrorism evolves, fades, or dies—and under what conditions
it succeeds.

You do not approach the evidence at all. Many so called terrorist strikes are perpetrated by deep state actors:

The 9/11 Commissioners said they were lied to by the CIA, FBI, Cheney and Bush Jnr's testimony was unsworn and secret!

the people of the US have been repeatedly lied to by their Government and by the US Press - why anyone supports freedom of the gatekeeping press to lie to us?
US people punked again and again and again... Ground Zero workers, 9/11 First Responders and the people of New York who lived in the zone of the toxic plume suffered months of ionising radiation coming from the hot molten cores that no amount of water and chemical agents could cool down - where's the critical attention to the evidence Sherlock Holmes?
