Instability in many nations leads to an influx in terrorists. In order to combat this, we look at the root cause, so that we may hope to understand why this is happening.
Instead of intruding into other countries, we must respect their sovereignty and push for reform. In many instances, there are cruel dictators that will not reform or negotiate. Conflict might be inevitable, no matter how much negotiation goes on. Intervention will occur, but what then? Before going in, powers need to have a game-plan on what will happen afterwards. Concrete planning and collaboration with the locals on how to make their lives better and more peaceful is needed. Nation-building is often frowned upon as policy, yet this may be needed. Military action with no back end involvement will lead to the destruction of order in a country, bring the nation, and consequently the entire region, into chaos.
We need to work with the people of other countries, planning for strong, open, effective governments, accountable to the people, and free of corruption.
