As for soulutions: Ask the British, they have some success getting rid of the terrorism in/from Northern Ireland. They did not get it by lining up a random selection of people and shoot them each time somebody blows a bomb.

Yes they did. Heck, they burned whole villages by the dozen in Kenya. They stormed into other people's houses without their consent in America. And I'm sure the British were so benign in India.

If you ask me, the British, along with all the other Colonial powers, created this mess we're in. I hardly believe that asking them for advise is the best way to go at this.
