Still wondering why I play this game.
I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.
USA didn't create Osama. They funded and created Al Qaeda. Osama wouldn't have such large organisation without help.

I think Team America: World Police is going on for too long.
I'm not sure why America has to fight everyone elses war, and protect everyone elses country.
Is it really "To defend freedom and democracy around the world..."?
Is it to prevent WW III?
It's not the only way, but the most tried and true way. There's a special type of person called an Economic Hitman that can be deployed to take over resources and assets of foreign countries without resorting to war.

If they don't work, and assassination fails or fails to change the course of things war is the end result to achieve the goals.

Banned at least 10 times. Don't give a fuck, going to keep saying what I want how I want to.

I'm very much in favour of regular, screened individuals being able to defend their homes, property, family, friends, pets and themselves with reasonable force. Sadly in many western countries this is not an issue. Which is very bizarre considering that terrorism almost exclusively ends up with regular people getting killed. Politicians, celebrities and other wealthy/influential individuals are very rarely targeted - let alone killed.
Surprise, surprise, it just so happens that they're usually surrounded by security guards and/or police. Extremism has always been a dire issue throughout history and yet it is now trickling into the western world and very little is actually being done about it.
And the whole Nazi period had lasted only for a dozen years. Imagine how deep roots evil has grown in Islamic culture over 1400 years.
Effective measures would first require that people, even politicians, would admit some very uncomfortable truths. Such as the decades-long systematical lying, in the name of multiculturalism, about Islam being "peaceful" or about the "benefits" of Islamic immigration.
Now the situation is that we have a dilemma with a very obvious cause, but in the retarded PC-ideological climate it's forbidden to even hint towards that cause.
Imagine that we are on a leaking boat. Everyone can see that the boat leaks because some of the Muslim passengers (and only Muslim passengers) are constantly drilling holes in the hull, but it's forbidden to do anything about it because it would seem racist. The other Muslims aren't doing anything to stop their comrades either. Instead we should just pretend they are ok and pump harder.

Yes.
I have my complaints , but I believe that behind the scenes the real heroes are doing their jobs. The politicians will say and do whatever for votes and leave the dirty work to the pros.
Terrorism will always happen. We can't stop it. The only way is to change the world and make everyone rich. But the we will have the kids if said rich people get angsty and be terrorists anyways. So GG nice try.
I care more about how they react. They don't call it counter terrorism for nothing. I want the response swift and vicious. Terrorists should know that every mission is a suicide mission. I'd be okay with that.
I think the war on terror is probably like the war on drugs - it can't be won. However, unlike the war on drugs, there's no "easy" option of legalising terrorism. Leave ISIS etc alone and Islamic terrorists will still continue attacks as they try to take over countries from Afghanistan to Mali.
Like the war on drugs, however, I think most work should go on the demand side. Try to stop people turning to terrorism (drugs), as if there is demand, there will always be a supply.
I think there is reason to be optimistic, however, because terrorism is a lot less enticing than drugs. Lots of people may want a quick high, but I think the vast majority of people are repulsed by the slaughter of innocents. ISIS is an apocalyptic doomsday cult - its ideology does not offer a sustainable future to people, just the illusion of a glorious death as the world ends.
I think the implication of all this is that we need to be calm, embrace Muslims within our countries and work to make life as good as possible in Muslim countries (promote reconciliation and peace, support enhanced security and economic development, push for democratic reforms and modernisation).
What is this rest of the world you are talking about? No one is sending ground troops. Except perhaps Iran. The second Iraq war killed any will to send soldiers. Perhaps sadly, because if George W Bush and Tony Blair were to say about ISIS what they said about Saddam, it would be hard to disagree. I was against the second Iraq War but right now it seems a grave mistake to leave ISIS in control of millions of people and the resources that come with it.... instead of joining the rest of the world which is actually doing something, sending soldiers etc.
Yeas, that's great. But what is your idea how to find them, and how to deal with them? It's not like there is some terrorist place that you can wipe out and then everything is fine, and only morals are stopping us from doing so.
You can very well assume for every killed innocent children in countries that assumingly host terrorists two new terrorists are drafted.
There is no easy solution, even if people would be willing to fight. Remember Tony Blair who admitted that the war in Iraq very certainly was a major contributor in creating the IS. Fighting fire with fire doesn't seem to be the right solution here.
A viable way might be to sacrifice more and more privacy to gain security. This is also something every person has different views on.
