War on errorism

Just a thought. What about if the governments of the world banned all news reporting of any terrorist activity. A complete media black out of bombs exploding, planes falling and fools self detonating? They should still keep up the surveillance and intervention of persons of interest but publicly ignore that the problem exists.

My theory goes something along the lines that the terrorists are acting for groups, 99% of the time, that are trying to get control of some land they believe belongs to them. Religion is only used to recruit the dumb fucks that want to blow them selves up for a cause and not the reason for the terrorist activity. This view is backed up by the recent report and subsequent book by Professor Robert Pape (google him if you want a lot of statistics and analysis) who did has researched the past 460 odd suicide bombers and their motive.

The reason terrorism is used is to gain public exposure for their cause. This goal is to put pressure on the target government either to remove their troops from the disputed land or to stop supporting the government that is controlling the said land. So if you remove one of the cornerstones of the tactic then the problem should disappear.

I guess basically I hate to see terrorism succeeding. All the media hype and government scare mongering has thus far lead to new and novel ways to restrict our freedom. Basically they win.
