What will be the long term view of terrorism?

Asked by LostInParadise (31914points) May 27th, 2009

Two extreme views:

1. Terrorism is the final obstacle to the spread of industrial democracy to the poorer nations of the world. It gradually loses its grip once people appreciate the increased freedom that derives from modern society.

2. Terrorism is the initial phase of a struggle against globalization. Religious terrorists join with ecoterrorists to create sustainable decentralized economies that are environmenatlly friendly and respectful of human dignity.

Or will it be entirely different?
