When I grew up as a child in the 1950s terrorism as we know it now did not exist. Yes. There were nations that fought like the United States and the Soviet Union in the Cold War and I suppose one could say that the Cold War was the real beginning of the present form of terrorism we now see on earth. But, in general most people in the world still believed in the "Common Good" even if it was only the common good of their area of the world or nation or religion.
Now, there is a level of cynicism and self destructiveness that reminds me of the concept of the rise and fall of Civilizations. I'm talking about the fall of a world civilization here. Maybe, what we are seeing is just the tip of the iceberg that is actually caused by overpopulation and group suffering reaching such a hopeless level for so many peoples on earth that what we are seeing is just the result.
Let me give you an example: The big three CEOs of Detroit Automakers recently went to the US Congress to ask for a 25 billion dollar bailout. However, they all took private jets to this meeting which blew the whole deal. What I'm saying here is that parts of the world are so completely out of touch with other parts of the world that these discontinuities exist worldwide. While some have enough or even too much, others have nothing, are starving, are slowly dying from bad water, bad food or even no water and no food or are being starved to death by their governments because their religion or skin color or ethnicity is wrong.
Things are just so out of control in so many parts of the earth that it actually amazes me that things are as in control as they are.
No, I now believe economic terrorism is primarily caused by overpopulation, no clean water, no good food, and centuries of traumatization of certain world populations. However, because the World is now Flat because of the internet and planes and ships and trains and trucks and cars there is no nook or cranny that anyone can hide in anymore. Everything is public whether any of us want that or not. And when everything is public everyone is in danger.
So, to summarize, when the starving and dying are related to the educated then I believe worldwide economic terrorism begins.
I think what we witnessed in Mumbai is a form of economic terrorism against the wealthy of India by poor Islamic terrorists.
The only way I can see to stop terrorism is to make sure everyone has clean water, clean food, some clothes and a place to live. Until this is done internationally we are all in danger in the world we presently live.
The actual main reason I believe there is not clean water, clean food and clothes and a place to live is that no realistic way to deal with overpopulation other than war has been worked out realistically by those in charge on earth.
Until over population and birth control and women's rights and children's rights are addressed terrorism, war, starvation and all the rest will go on until it destroys all civilization on earth.
So dealing with over population and birth control and women's rights and children's rights is in the single most important thing that needs to be done on earth if we want civilization to continue.
To the best of my ability I write about my experience of the Universe Past, Present and Future
