Too many mistakes are being committed during the global war against terrorism, al-Shara

Farouk al-Shara, Syria's Foreign Minister, said too many mistakes are being committed during the global war against terrorism, whether "in good faith or in bad faith." People in developing nations had a right to wonder why so many resources are being devoted to military spending when they could instead be channelled into education projects or schemes that boost economic development. History showed political and economic solutions are more effective than military ones.
