A Brief Note On Terror And Its Effects On The Future

The perpetrators of terrorism have changed over time. Domestic terrorism has its roots in the United States going back to the Colonial Era, where some argue that patriots such as in the Boston Tea Party used terror tactics to spread their message (Zalman, 2015). Many argue that the acts patriots took were

Much has been made of terrorism and political crime lately. Since the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center buildings and the Pentagon most have asked questions such as: How could this happen? Why would someone do this to so many innocent people? And possibly even more importantly, how do we prevent this from happening again? The attacks on that tragic day weren’t the first in our country though they were the most devastating to date. They were devastating in accordance with casualties and also emotionally for the whole country. One could only hope they would be the last, though this has not been the case. Before one can begin to analyze how the United States should combat such a horrific form of warfare and political change, one must first start to understand a few key elements. One must begin to understand what terrorism is, where it came from, and why terrorism exists.

Terrorism, in a modern day perspective, has been molded as a Middle Eastern threat to Western Civilization; although the whole idea of terrorism itself has existed for ages. Undoubtedly, “The War on Terror,” is a western form of saying to depict the general aspect of terrorism. Through all aspects of the world, terrorism, is defined as an act of unruly and warlike tactics that mainly creates harm to civilians. Usually, these acts of violence are not simply for the use of harming citizens, but to voice specific mutinous organizations that do not comprehend with the standard civilization. This analysis will numerically discuss the main aspects of the United States intervention with terrorism, past terrorist acts, and a modern day

Imagine smelling the thick smoke, seeing the bright orange timbers, and feeling the terror all around you. This is what everyone was feeling when the terrorist crashed the first plane into the twin tower in NYC. Fortunately, while the was terror involved, hope was also present in 9/11. Terror to hope relates to the article and the essay by making big impacts in both of them.

Throughout history, various terrorist groups have targeted the United States, endeavoring to prove its power and capabilities. Al-Qaeda, a terrorist group, run by Osama Bin Laden, is an explicit example of this. This group’s actions during the early 21st century has changed the lives of American’s forever. On September 11, 2001, al-Qaeda attacked the twin towers and World Trade Center, whilst attempted to attack the White House. This act of terrorism killed thousands of innocent civilians, no matter age, gender or race. Al-Qaeda’s main goal is to diffuse fear throughout the world. As time continues, the amount of terrorism within the world is increasing. An increase of terrorism activity is due to the increased amount of state support for it.

On the most horrifying day in American history, with smoke still billowing out of rubble in New York and Washington, a grim-faced President addressed the U.S. nation from the Oval Office, "Today, our fellow citizens, our way of life, our very freedom came under attack in a series of deliberate and deadly terrorist attacks... Thousands of lives were suddenly ended by evil, despicable acts of terror. The pictures of airplanes flying into building, fires burning, huge structures collapsing have filled us with disbelief, terrible sadness and a quiet, unyielding anger."

The struggle on terror is an fully faux and fraudulent construct. It has generally been invented and hyped to supply an excuse for the New World Order manipulators to override matters like human rights, natural law and the Constitution domestically, as well as invade, infiltrate and overthrow different countries

The current aims of “new” terrorism must be evaluated in historical terms to determine the potential severity of the threat as well as counter-methods and

For the first time in decades, the United States was under attack by an outside foreign enemy on September 11, 2001. It was the day that “our security weaknesses were exploited, our vulnerability was exposed, and our fear became real” (Territo). Since then, our world changed forever. These attacks and the ongoing war on terrorism have proved that terrorism has no respect for jurisdictional boundaries. Terrorism is premediated and uses violence to achieve their own set of political goals or objectives. It is viewed as the violent actions of specific groups who want to violate the authority of the government.

Since that day America has changed the way that it handles each one situation that could maybe have anything to do with terrorism, or a terrorist ambush. For example, the security at plane terminals, metros, sea ports, national events, marathons and various diverse venues the country over has been changed to keep terrorist strikes from happening. The purposes of terrorism looked at in this paper consolidate who was accountable for the terrorist attacks, how and why these ambushes were orchestrated, and what America has done to battle this war on fear.

As an American living in the 21st century, terrorism has been a defining moment in our recent history. It has shaped the foreign policies of many nations, changed the way society has viewed violence and created debates about national security. Yet, it is only recently that terrorism has gone global. The history of terrorism is rooted in its use by revolutionaries and governments, its influence on domestic affairs and the various methods used to instill fear and control. But since the end of the Cold War and more importantly after September 11, 2001, terrorism has been used by organizations to exert political and extreme religious agendas across the globe using new tactics with the advancement of technology

Terrorism is defined as the use of force against innocent civilians in order to achieve the political aims of the group. A terrorist group could use violence and asymmetric warfare in order to obtain their goals. Generally stated, weak and failing states tend to be safe havens for terrorist groups. The regions in which the weaker states occur are in old colonized regions in both Africa and the Middle East. The weak states tend to provide unmonitored border crossings as well as areas, which transnational terrorists can plan attacks on both the west and countries in their region. However, not all weak and failed states harbor terrorists. The states which hold them tend to have an ambiguous or ambivalent relationship with the transnational terrorist groups that they house. By housing the groups, the states are able to further their own interest and support their own purposes. In order to know if a state harbors terrorists, the most important thing is to analyze the government of the countries in order to determine if they are vulnerable to influence from the groups. Because the states which do not have a high enough capacity or autonomy to act as they wish, they become very susceptible to accepting aid and using transnational terrorist groups to further their own aims.

The New/Old Terrorism, an article by Jeffery Kaplan (2011) discusses the United States the ramifications to the Terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 on the World Trade Center in New York. The article notes that the use of explosives to accomplish acts of terrorism is nothing new, and looks at the history of terrorism in the world.

The history of terrorism can be traced back as far as the French revolution. Some of these acts of terrorism only seem as distant reminders of our past, but at the same time, are not a far cry from today’s brutal acts; and although these acts seem distant, it doesn’t also mean they are no longer in the thoughts of individuals in today’s time.
