Debate: Can we use Non-Violence to destroy terrorism?
Side: A resounding YES!

Ok, heres a argument i can actually take seriously, thank you. Its so much better than you usual, no offense. Terrorits dont think like me. I'm not religous, i dont condone any action that would cause another person harm so please stop comparing me to them, to be honest your alot closer in your views to those terrorists my friend, your the one whos been completely indoctrinated by your countries natioanlisitc ideoloy.I agree the world is moving towards globalisation, this does not mean that countries are going to move into each others territory, i dont know how you got it in your head that this is what globalisation means. So if you do understand the deeper nuances and subtle consequences please explain how globalisaiton infers the right to invade Iraq or prop up regimes all over the world to suit your own self interested agenda, please explain, i promise i will take the claims seriously. Look, what you dont realise is this is just how you have rationalised it to yourself. I'd like to think there a certain characteristics that are attributable to all humans, again beleive this becuase i have grown up in very didferent worlds (im not going to explain it to you because its personal) and i have done a lot of traveling in my short life so i have seen many different cultures. People (i think) are not very different, no matter where you go in this world. Also, the existence of terrorism against the US isnt really to do with globalisation, i mean im not saying you dont have a piont, casue you do. It is true that many islamic extremists want to preserve their traditional way of living (Sharia law etc.) but you seem to be incapable of realising that these people (at least the majority of them) would not be aginst the US if your country wasnt guilty of perpetrating such great crimes against them. I mean all societies have extremists, thats true, but what your country has done and continues to do fans the flames of this extremism in way than seems incomprehensibe to you. If your country wasnt guilty of the grave crimes it has perpetrated i can garauntee you that terrorism would not be a real danger in the world, it would have all but died out. What you have done is re-invigorated it and ensured its survival for a long time.Look, ill give you good example, right. Have you ever heard of the bloody sunday massacre, 14 innocnet civilians were gunned down by the british army in Belfast while on a protest march. My father was a teenagers when it happened (1972).I live in southern ireland very far from the north but the outrage that the incident caused insured that the provisional IRA survived and florished for a long time. In my fathers own class in school 3 of his friends went up to join, 2 of which were later killed in fighting (Tony Ahern and Dermot Crowley). This was the reaction in Cork the furthest part of the country from where it happened can you imagine the support it raised for the IRA in Belfast, young catholics all over the city were lining up to give up their live s for the IRA, it didnt matter whether they were extremists or moderates or whatever to begin with, they were all extremists now, do you not understand that the actions of your governemnt is breeding extremism, does that not make sense to you, and if not why not.
