How we’ve conspired to destroy ourselves

It is important as a society that we don’t allow the collective reflection about terrorism to just fizzle out. Terrorism is a costly affair economically, socially and individually. Whole regions are rendered hostile to both local and foreign investments, and entire people are branded in broad strokes.

Suggestions have been forwarded on developing post-secondary military training to equip people with the requisite skills to be alert to terrorist threats and ward off these terrorists in case of an invasion. While this is a good suggestion, there are broad consultations and crucial economic considerations that need to be put in place to make it workable.
