Are we winning or losing the war on terror? : Comments
By Keith Suter, published 3/10/2014In short, the west is engaged in a 'long war' of low intensity conflict. But politicians and media just bounce along from one event to another without seeing the big picture.

JF Aus, what you are saying amounts to heresy in some quarters!
In a world that is based upon Criminal Capitalism and Endless War and Righteous Racism, to talk about peace is, well..., unpatriotic. Look, thanks to Phony, Australia is in the Middle East bombing and shooting to its heart's content so the world can continue to be exploited and plundered by the like of Murdoch and the Packers and Big Corporations and the IMF and the Yanks, the list is endless! JF, soon, in Australia, you won't be able to write a comment like yours. The Thought Police will come to your door and take you to a Re-education Gulag run by some Psycho from Queensland. They'll keep you in a cage and force splinters under your nails until you recant! I fear for you, my friend! The world is a dangerous place. Clearly, Peacemakers are not welcome.

Having common sense could be different to being a peacemaker in this day and age.
Common sense indicates peace is better than catching Ebola during a worldwide outbreak without life saving medicine. Besides, common sense shows solutions that could bring even more money around and into hands of those running the system/s. Why shoot a messenger bringing good news? Common sense indicates need for an urgent rethink about worldwide impact and consequences of Ebola. This is not HIV AIDS that requires contact. Ebola appears to be contagious like flu virus. Common sense is absolutely essential now, surely. Peace and prosperity now and more war in the distant future perhaps, seems the best way to go. Posted by JF Aus, Thursday, 9 October 2014 10:09:30 AM

"Peace and prosperity now and more war in the distant future perhaps, seems the best way to go."
JF, what possessed to to add the words before the comma? Did Satan pop down the chimney? Did Christ bring you a jar of wine and some fishes? Did one of your roses bushes start burning? Are you currently a pillar of salt? Are virgins dancing around you enticingly? I though you were a Messiah! Back to the drawing board! Posted by David G, Thursday, 9 October 2014 12:48:03 PM

JF I understand that Evola is a contact disease like HIV-Aids, not a virus, this could change if Evola mutates into an airborne disease like the flu, they are very clever, more so than we are, like death, then the elite and the wealthy of society will have to put up with the same fate as the poor people,the mad monk, the Saviour as of now, will not be able to blast them to bits with his budgie snuggler weapon.

Onjab,
Ebola is a virus. http://www.washingtonpost.com/sf/national/2014/10/04/how-ebola-sped-out-of-control/ Posted by Poirot, Thursday, 9 October 2014 2:17:53 PM

1. Immediately secure international agreement for a truce between all nations to give peace a chance, in order to understand how to control the Ebola virus that will hit every family everywhere if it is not urgently contained.
2. Immediately hold numerous inter-nation economic summits to increase world growth even more, especially to stimulate pockets and purses of all consumers, including at the bottom of the economy. Stimulate business and employment. Focus on kick starting all economies.
This is nothing to do with redistribution of wealth.
People of all nations are short of money, some acutely more so than others.
Clearly there is need for new money worldwide to make up the shortfall, not borrowed money, but perhaps a new international economy, new international fiscal policy to stimulate all existing economies. But how, by doing what?
The whole world environment, land, oceans, rivers, creeks, lakes, atmosphere, all need rehabilitation, regeneration, whole of water ecosystem management.
There is urgent need to sustain biodiversity that is supposed to sustain life and even good weather on this unique planet?
Think about natural resource exploitation in reverse.
Plumbing and forest and rural industries alone are capable of employing mega millions of people in need of income.
Every nation requires proper and productive water ecosystem management, proper sanitation, adequate healthy water supply and waste management infrastructure.
Very significant and productive infrastructure could be developed to benefit the environment.
It can be done.
The alternative is do nothing and die from Ebola that can apparently transmit like common flu.
Inter-national teamwork could achieve mutually beneficial goals.
