1.  Obviously his proposed solutions have  a fundamental flaw.
2. Human beings are greedy , we want to have more , we want to grow(in all forms ).
3. This system proposes that the human beings stop growing.
4. Economy has two facets:
1. Resource consuming
2. Non Resource Consuming ( media , entertainment , service sector)
5. Currently these two are linked and NRC eventually gets converted in RC in some because one buy car buy house etc with funds created by NRC and usual.
6. Infinite growth is fine it address human basic instinct mentioned in point 2.
7. However infinite consumption of Resource is not fine poses grave threat.
8. Our challenge is to go into a perpetual resource cycle. Like a super conductor resource system. A renewable resource system.
9. Our Economy keeps growing ( basically we move to NRC for growth) and resource consumptions is perpetual or in harmony with nature(earth).
10. A resource system which can sustain demands by not increasing its size.
11. To develop this I am sure our socienty will catch with it by developing required technologies .
12. First stage will be partial Self Sustenance for human society.
13. Second stage will be complete self sustenance.
14. Recycling , Nuclear fusion etc will drive the way.

But still plant colonization is not far away another 100-200 years , so resource consumption can also be addressed just incase the perpetual Resource System requires feeding once in a while.

And for now , growth of economy can be reduced by reduced interest rates that keeps tap on global addition of debt money. Also we have cyclical economy dips which drop the overal growth curves.

Items, one Easy , one Tough ( short term )

1) Privatize Defense Sector Industries: Indian Org like DRDO are ailing and fail to attract young talent. France, US, UK has excellent private sector presence in defense equipment manufacture, from F-22 raptors to bullets. India has one of the best entrepreneurs , allow them to lay their hands on these business opportunities.

2) EC reform, New Election Enrollment criteria: Allowed only IAS / IPS officers or people with exceptional public service background or with corporate experience to be given ticket to contest elections. Right Leadership is fundamental prerequisite for Change India Goal.

( Long Run after becoming a developed country )

3) Make Govt. very lean and allow people to contribute by opening all of its sectors to private/public companies. Strip off railways, banks etc from govt. clutches to create a solid capitalistic economy with no bailouts. Long run you will have a very matured companies and very matured citizens. Lean Govt. focuses better on objectives of governance and not bother managing businesses like railways.

Our leadership is corrupt because we have let it be, its we who are at fault and its we who now will make the change. Change is now inevitable

Ask not what your country can do you but what you can do for your country. - JFK

Terrorists leaders succeeds if inflicted society scums. Bouncing back in creating a more beautiful city with better culture which is resilient is the key. Also creating this resilient state from which logical rational and non-emotional solutions has to be derived for its safety and self preservation plus it perpetuation into other regions.

I believe one of the key long term solution to terrorism is economic prosperity, by working on spreading entrepreneurship, a healthy economic level playing field in the regions which are right now breading ground of terrorism.

We need to deprive the terrorism of its lucrative incentive which it offers to it participants of both emotional and economic.

1st Strategy

If you alienate one religon that way you will feed them more , terrorism does not shy away from fear or public ridicule , instead they get fueled more.

You need to see how to break down their thinking, their back bone of anger and rage.

We need to think alternatively. economic progress and keeping everybody involved in their busy life and making people feel they have equal oppertunity is one way to nullify terrorisim.Secondly which is too futurisit for year 2008 however will become status qou of comming century is elimination of all religions practices and should not allow religion to perpetuate. Which these leader like Hindu and Muslim or even Christians religious leader exploit peoples mind to create violence. Spread culture of aethisim

2nd  Terrorism is a mental disease

Guys don’t undermine human rights , their are america and uk where the islamic extremist only started raging after they were corenerd. A cornered cat will bite really hard. Treat every human being as equal and use law to discrimnate as to who get punished , forming judgments will only fuel this terrorisim more , you are giving fuel to them to recruit more.

Terrorisim is pscology its not as simple as it seems.

If in the world every body was busy and had things to do of their daily life , no body will leave their happy economic progress life to become terrorist.

Think again. Terrorism is a mental disease

Short Term Approach

Modern terrorism comes planned , these guys study every thing for months even years before they plan their attacks. If we need to defend ourselves and that too in a moments notice we need to have

a) Training which is one of the best like Israels or American SWAT teams

b) Technology gadgets like , night goggles , remote vehicles for visions , highly automatic weapons, electronic gadgets.

c) Probably opening up anti terrorist initiatives to private sector , where these guys get the best people in the world with the world top most materials and technologies . Govt cannot keep up with terrorist abilities we need more skilled private sector to step in and provide service of world class defense at a cost.

d) We need to break Terrorists, their feeding system, their funding sources, we need to morally break them down. The best way to morally break somebody down is by doing unexpected. Some body said torture them on TV ,that will give them more material to create more terrorist and motivating them. Do you think these people fear from anything. These people are very angry and very frustrated. We need to divide and rule them. The leaders form terrorist are very different from the actual guys on the ground who do terrorism they are brain washed by their leaders , they feed on these young peoples anger , frustration, fear and show them light of end of the tunnel by making them do violent activities which they firmly believe will help their mankind in greater good.

We need Technology, Training and Psychological Warfare

Politician can do little , we need to stand up to the leadership and take responsibility of security of our world and human kind.
