Fighting Terrorism

We can all agree that terrorism is a bad thing. Most of us know that many middle eastern countries finance terrorism, officially or unofficially. Almost everyone knows that the middle east gets the vast majority of its wealth from its impressive oil reserves. Here's what we can do about it.
We need to change to alternate energy sources. I didn't say, "Invent alternate energy sources," I said, "Change to alternate energy sources." Most of these technologies are ready to go right now. Hydrogen fuel cells, ethanol engines, and the ever unpopular solar power could all be on the next models of car to roll out of the plants with very little conversion. What's more is that we can do all of this and never sacrifice any of our beloved performance. Even switching from gasoline to cleaner and cheaper fossil fuels like propane will help. The faster we can get away from our gasoline dependence the sooner we will remove the terrorists favorite source of funding, mid-east oil money.
For those of you who don't think that is immediate enough, go join the U.S. Marines. We will be glad to welcome you into our ranks (if you're willing to do what needs to be done). When the recruiter asks which M.O.S. you'd like ask for Infantry, Military Police, Combat Arms (tanks, field artillery, amphibious tractors, or anti-aircraft), or Intelligence. Any of these should give you a solid chance to fight terrorists by either killing them directly or by giving information and support to the killers to help them kill more terrorists.
If you are too old or too disabled to join up, then you may want to see about joining a non-military security agency. The FBI, CIA, NSA, and even local police and emergency relief organizations are all looking for more people to help with their expanded responsibilities. If that's not a practical option then do what you can to get our civilization away from our habit of supporting the people that support terrorism. Every dollar in an oil rich nation's hands is one more dollar that may go to terrorists.
