I was thinking this week about the current situation in the Middle East in regards to Islamic Terrorism. According to most reports, terrorists represent a small portion of the Muslim population in the Middle East. I would agree with this. The goal of most countries (including the US) is to avoid the further spread of these extreme views throughout the world. This also makes sense to me.
The problem is....aren't we making the situation worse by continually airing these people on the evening news? Isn't this exactly what the terrorists want....exposure? Why bother recruiting people when the US media will do the job for you? I think the best way to fight terrorism would be to avoid the huge media blitz that these crazy bastards get whenever they blow up a bus or a truck. Doesn't this seem like common sense?
