I believe that a global campaign against terrorism is a realistic option that should be used to tackle the issue. Just as Albert Einstein said “I do not know what weapons WWIII will be fought with but I assure you WWIV will be fought will sticks and stones” just as Einstein predicts the end of the world with some sort of apocalyptic nuclear or biological weapon will terrorism be the downfall of the 21st century?
