Our Current System will Prevent the End of Terrorism

We currently live in a world where terrorism seems an inevitable part of our lives. Every week we hear about terrorists killing five people, taking twenty hostage, or planting bombs somewhere in the world. Every time this happens, we look to our leaders for support, all we see is their fake 'efforts to prevent such a horrible event to happen again', corruption, and little hope that anybody will take a strong stance ever. How on earth will our countries survive, if all our governments care about is their political power and wealth? We, the common people of our countries, can do little more than 'very strongly' express our unhappiness and how dangerous life is turning out to be. The rest is in our governments hands. We as citizens should not accept "the situation is very complicated, and we need to plan our next move" as an excuse. It has been years since the CIA has uncovered the locations of the major terrorist camps, and other countries like the US have sent thousands of soldiers to Afghanistan in an effort to end terrorism. What drags and hinders India? Politics. Congress, being in power, cannot go after Muslim terrorists. We ask ourselves, why? They would lose out on Muslim votes in the next election and would be out of power. Politics is what rules us, and will eventually kill all of us, unless there is a dramatic change in our government very soon.
