Should The President Negotiate With Terrorist Organization Leaders?

After the 911 attack on the Twin Towers in New York, the American people were introduced to the idea that their country was vulnerable to acts of war by outside enemies. A spirit of patriotism was whipped up in the people and many went off to fight a war in Afghanistan - a place they knew nothing about, and against people who had nothing to do with the plotting and execution of the 911 plane crashes. Americans have allowed themselves to remain ignorant of foreign policy, foreign people and foreign problems for so long that they are easily manipulated into supporting a war, a war that never leads to peace abroad or at home. People across the world are angry at being oppressed. Terrorism is a response to oppression. During the American slave era whenNat Turner went on a killing spree across the South many Northerners didn't understand why, and bought the idea that Black people were savages that needed to be kept under control or killed. Isn't it time we, in this Internet age, took the time to hear what happened to create the terrorist movement? What is our government doing with our tax dollars that is hurting people abroad to the point where they are willing to commit suicide to kill others? Can terrorism end with peaceful negotiations? Should our President try a new strategy to prevent future terrorist attacks?
