Responses to Terrorism

So the answer to our original question, i. e. whether September 11, 2001 will be a landmark in the history of international relations and international security policy, basically depends, in our opinion, on how far the war on terrorism will reach out.Will it be satisfied once the Taliban is overthrown and Osama bin Laden is hunted down; or will it reach down to the infrastructureof global terrorism launching a 5-10-year-long war in the fronts against the arms trade and drug trafficking, money laundering, tax havens, people smuggling, and other regimes providing support to terrorism, etc.? Or further still, will the leaders of the counter-terrorist coalition be prepared to address specific political issues that serve as an excuse for international terrorism: the Palestinian-Israeli deadlock, the irritating American presence in the holy places, Iraq's „de-saddamization”, etc.? And even further: will they be prepared to fight against the roots of terrorism?
