lpv:translated text	". There is a great deal of confusion about the phenomenon of terrorism. Most terrorists do not become terrorists out of choice, but are forced to resort to extreme and unacceptable measures due to the lack of understanding shown by leading politicians for their oppositional role and their conflicting viewpoints. Some latterly well-respected leaders, such as those of Israel, Palestine, South Africa and many former colonies, started their political careers as terrorists. Terrorism is fought effectively not by creating an even greater lack of understanding and trust, but by ensuring that the problems to which terrorists want to draw attention are resolved swiftly and peacefully. Politicians who see the risk of terrorism in anything and everything, run the risk of ending up in a police state which lacks essential rights of freedom and democracy. This, in turn, leads to a tougher political climate, which creates a new breeding ground for terrorism. Respect for the law weakens when people notice that they are no longer protected from random arrests, lengthy custody and controversial surrender. This also applies if oppositional non-terrorists are bullied or if people are imprisoned for actions which are not punishable in their own countries. As long as there are insufficient guarantees to prevent these phenomena, a European regulation is counterproductive in the real fight against terrorism, in my view."@en1
