''where there is no control, there can be no blame.''

I suppose you are not talking about individual control. With no authority we must self rule. We will be 100% responsible for our actions. Many people fear this responsibility and actually wantto be controlled.

''the answer to the problem of terrorism is the relinquishing of control. What does ISIS fight against? What does the USA fight against? Without one, what good is the other? They derive purpose and meaning from each other.''

Terrorism will always exist provided perceived injustices or real injustices continue to exist. Terrorism is a tactic.

Besides the war on terrorism, al queda, ISIS etc are all creations of the west to justify their invasions and occupations in the middle east. domestically, in the west the war on terrorism is used to justify the removal of our civil rights e.g. we must give up our freedom for security.

911 was a false flag attack!

'' no guarantee that terrorism won't happen''

Exactly, and as you also point out there will always be bullies (and fleets of autonomous drones) that sadly wont give a hoot about consensus.
