We have spent far too much money and lives on a war that has only increase terror across the globe (U.S. Department of State). We need to take the money spent on the war and spend it instead on global humanitarian aid. Only by helping our fellow man can we cripple the terrorism groups.
Give government contracts to companies creating humanitarian products, like billboards that create water from the air. Supporting these companies would still create jobs in the U.S. but put the money and work to good use instead of killing more people.
Be a leader for the rest of the world in saying no to terror by ceasing the never ending retaliation. An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
