The Simplest Way to Fight Terrorism

THE HOME PAGE of citizenwarrior.com is always changing. You never know what the first article will be. So if you wanted to turn someone onto this site, you could give them the domain name, but you'd never know if the first article would be a good introduction or not.

On top of that, to someone who doesn't know the name, "citizenwarrior.com," you'd have to explain that the site is about stopping terrorism. The name itself doesn't say what it's about to the uninitiated.

To solve this problem and give you another weapon in your arsenal, we bought a more descriptive domain name, and pointed it to an introductory page on the Citizen Warrior site. The domain name is haltterrorism.com.

Now you have a simple way to fight terrorism: Let people simply see that domain name. Those who are interested will easily remember the short address, and when they visit, they'll get a page designed to introduce them to this site. This is the page it goes to.

The domain name itself says something. You don't need to explain it or add a byline. You can simply share the domain name itself.

And by helping people become more interested and involved in doing something constructive about terrorism, you weaken the terrorists. The more educated our own teammates are — and the less helpless they feel — the stronger and more unified we are against the terrorists, and the more capable we will be of making effective collective decisions. In the war of memes, sharing practical information with your teammates can make the difference.

If you think this is a good idea, then you can help defeat terrorism by sharing that domain name. I suggest getting some tee shirts with the name on it, and put a bumper sticker on your car with the domain name on it. You can get both of those at the Citizen Warrior Supply Depot.

You could also put the address at the bottom of your email messages, as part of your signature (almost all email programs have this feature, to add a signature automatically to every message), or simply several lines below your signature. From that point forward, without any more effort on your part, you are fighting terrorism every time you email anyone about anything.

If you have a bulletin board at your grocery store or some place where business cards can be displayed, make some business cards with the address on them and post them whenever you're at the store. At any office supply store, you can get blank business card sheets you can feed through your printer.

You can also carry one of those cards in your wallet, and when you get into a conversation with someone about terrorism, you can say, "There's something you can do to help defeat terrorism," and give them the card and suggest they check it out.

And, of course, if you own a theater, you can put it on your marquee.
