Question for General Ralph Vito Locurcio engenear head military of KERO for reconstruction in 1991 after war in Irak-Kuwait and v. president STV Group USA, and Prof. University of Miami.

After September 11 how you can prevente threat for the Nation?

Since currently in Italy, criminality has global dimension, there is

scare for impredictable attacks; when and how it´s possible to define sure

Country ?

answer

Fabrizio...

Terrorism is a very difficult problem to solve. It is not possible to

provide "physical" or "structural" defenses for the entire nation that will

prevent future attacks by terrorist organizations. In my view, the only way

to prevent a threat to the nation is in two ways:

1) First: We must utilize a classic military strategy: "The best defense is

a good offense". This is even more true in fighting terrorists than in

conventional warfare. We must go on the offense and carry the attack to the

terrorist organizations. In this way the terrorists will be forced to use

their time and resources to hide and protect their own personnel. We must

make it as diffucult as possible for them to plan and carry out their

attacks on innocent people and nations. This action will probably not stop

them completely, but the time and money that they must spend to protect

their own organization(s) will reduce the time and money they have

available to spend on attacks on friendly nations. If we do not attack

them, they will be free to attack us with unlimited force, as they did on

9-11 and in Spain, at a time and place of their choosing, and we will be

totally helpless to know where and when they will attack next. However, in

order for this strategy to be most effective, the peaceful nations must

all join forces and participate in this network. The greater the network,

the greater the chance that we will defeat the terrorists.

2) Second: We must use intelligence to the maximum to observe, record and

analyze terrorist activities. In this manner we will be most able to use

plan offensive tactics and to execute effective attacks to disrupt their

planning activities and keep them off balance. Right now, we are the ones

who are off balance. We spend millions of dollars on airport security, but

the likelyhood that the next attack will be with an airplane is unknown and

not probable. The terrorist rarely strikes twice in the same manner. Look

at Spain, they attacked a train. Will the next attack be against a large

ship, perhaps a cruise ship with 3000 people on board. We will not know

unless we have good intelligence. A strategy of increased intelligence will

provide advance information of any attacks they may be planning so that we

may effectively develop and execute a counter-strategy or counter-attack to

defeat their plans, before they attack rather than afterwards. Again, for

this strategy to work effectively the peaceful nations must all stand

together in a solid network to gather and share the most information

possible.

3) Finally: A "global network" is needed to defend against the global

threat of terrorism. All of the free and peace loving nations must join

forces in a common network. Each nation acting alone is not capable of

defeating terrorism because the terrorists can cross borders and hide in

adjacent states. For a country like Italy to defend itself against a

"global threat" the defense must be through a "global network" of peaceful

nations. The terrorists cannot exist without support. They are humans, just

like us, and they must eat and sleep as we do. However, if we do not allow

them the possibility of support, or if we narrow the opportunities for

support, it will be much easier to know where they are to observe and

obstruct their activities and to gather intelligence on their plans.
