i’m writing my 4th paper this week already. sigh. And this one for my international relations class is by far the toughest. And it’s due tomorrow. urgh.

“Can terrorism be combatted with warfare?”

I’ve all the reasons to support why it is wrong and why it is strategically stupid to do so blablablah.

But turning it the other way round, how then should terrorism be tackled?

I don’t know. I’m stumped.

I can criticize a whole lot on the war on terror blablablablah, but I can’t come up with any decent alternative solutions to it (besides the usual lame and vague stuff about understanding others and peace through engaging nations in capitalism — which has a lot of other issues of its own too).

Is it just me, or is the situation something that is beyond solving? Is it that hopeless?

sigh. My brain hurts. Gotta stop reading (and thinking) and hop on to bed now.

Good night.
