Correct. It is totally wide, and ultimately requires
the root source of conflict (all conflict) to be
determined, since terrorism can be done by individuals,
not just states.

Sort of. There were really 2 ideologies we were
up against - communism and Russian nationalism.

The first of those hasn't truly been defeated
even in the free world. The second is causing
people to die as we speak.

Never. There is a saying "the price of freedom
is eternal vigilence". You need to constantly
scan the horizon.

You can if you want.

I've been thinking about them since circa 1981 when
I tuned in to Radio Moscow to find out why they
were anti-freedom and wrote to them for an
explanation and got a whole lot of propaganda in
reply instead of the expected "good point - we'll
hold democratic elections in all the dictatorships
under our thumb, including our own, within the next
6 months - we were real dumbasses for not being
able to figure that out for ourselves".

I've pursued finding the root cause of conflict and
the fundamentals of programming the entire time,
non-stop. Once I went for 7 days without sleep.
That was a programming breakthrough.

I have published all my findings already.

Here's one from a Russian that actually did the
above, sort of. Note that I have been talking to
him, often multiple times per day, for 11 years
or something, trying to sort out the damned Russians.
