00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.140
GUEST SPEAKER: So
in the end, I would

00:00:01.140 --> 00:00:02.848
like to conclude it
like this, that there

00:00:02.848 --> 00:00:05.550
is no military solution
to the terrorism.

00:00:05.550 --> 00:00:08.189
However, with a well
thought out, limited,

00:00:08.189 --> 00:00:10.410
and accurately
executed action, could

00:00:10.410 --> 00:00:13.080
fulfill the short-term goals.

00:00:13.080 --> 00:00:16.020
A more comprehensive and
a policy-oriented approach

00:00:16.020 --> 00:00:18.120
is essential to
address this problem.

00:00:18.120 --> 00:00:20.340
There is a need
to understand why

00:00:20.340 --> 00:00:22.860
the public opinion in
the Muslim countries

00:00:22.860 --> 00:00:24.750
is against United States.

00:00:24.750 --> 00:00:28.770
It's important to note that
majority of the people,

00:00:28.770 --> 00:00:31.230
though they are not
supportive of US policies,

00:00:31.230 --> 00:00:33.720
but they are not
for the terrorism.

00:00:33.720 --> 00:00:36.990
So particularly in the
Middle East, their policy--

00:00:36.990 --> 00:00:39.060
largely people
criticize this policy,

00:00:39.060 --> 00:00:42.330
but they are not supporting
terrorists at large.

00:00:42.330 --> 00:00:45.368
There are very few who
support terrorism against US.

00:00:45.368 --> 00:00:47.160
And another thing I
would like to point out

00:00:47.160 --> 00:00:51.630
is that it is certainly not
the democracy and freedom most

00:00:51.630 --> 00:00:53.250
of the people over here thinks.

00:00:53.250 --> 00:00:57.540
That it's democracy and freedom,
which they don't like about US.

00:00:57.540 --> 00:01:01.330
It's certainly other things
they are worried about.

00:01:01.330 --> 00:01:03.300
And this need to reach
out to the public

00:01:03.300 --> 00:01:06.420
instead of just focusing
on their rulers, which

00:01:06.420 --> 00:01:08.680
are not democratic setup.

00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:11.250
So there's a difference between
the rulers in the Muslim word

00:01:11.250 --> 00:01:13.640
and the general public.
