Terrorism : An Ancient Method Of Defeating An Opponent

In Statecraft, from turn zero it was apparent terrorism was going to be a prevailing issue. In fact, only one nation, per the Bush Doctrine, was not a state sponsor of terror. An important element of the Bush doctrine was the lack of distinction between terrorist and anyone including the states who aid the terrorist. With terrorist surrounding my nation from the west and south supporting terrorist organizations, I advised our nation’s leader to adhere to the Bush doctrine. Unfortunately, my fake nation’s leader focused on other things such as recycling. After our leader continually ignored numerous warnings, our Capital and other cities were continually attacked by OLF and the Typhoon pirates. Not being President, all I could do was the minimal, and otherwise was forced to sit back and watch not only Elferians but the citizens of the entire Statecraft world lose their family and friends from terrorist attacks.

Terrorism in America tends to be a product of many issues, population as well as conflict that has co-existed within the nation's borders. Uniquely United State has been known for its ability to contain multitudes in relative harmony. According to investigations, majority of terrorism in the history of America is motivated by an extreme distrust of the ideal American democracy that has given opportunity for every individual to claim loyalty to, in addition to benefiting from American system. Nevertheless, the enormous variation in expressing terrorism, domestic terrorism have been explained severally as a violent claim over who or what is authentically American.

the fortunes of the Illyrian-populated lands sagged (Zickel & Iwaskiw, 1992). Historian Frank Funck- Brentano wrote,“The terrorist of today share likenesses with the terrorist of the Middle Ages.” All terrorist share a common goal to be feared, respected and a dominate force. Change the sentence in red. It makes no sense and has no relevancy to the essay or body paragraph.

•In the 1900s more groups used terrorism than ever before. One reason is that deadly weapons became easier to get. Another reason is that airplane travel gave terrorists new ways to commit violence.

As a matter of fact, since September 11, ‘Civilization’ has been evoked to justify the revenge on both the Al Qaeda network and those who harbored it in Afghanistan. Identifying terrorism as the enemy of civilization provides an enormous scope for US intervention overseas as well as sanctioning the Federal Government’s curtailment of civil liberties at home. Furthermore, Bush put the attacks of 9/11 in religious terms, he declared that ‘this crusade, this war on terrorism is going to take a while’ and also in civilizational terms ‘this is civilization’s fight.’

The operational problems with terrorism are associated with the primary needs of secrecy, communication, and funding. Three fundamentals we can call them for now. In small arms marksmanship where you can still hit your target accurately by having only two basic fundamentals properly engaged; however with terrorism a weakness in one our more of these fundamentals means failure in long term success.

Terrorism since World War II has gone through phases marked by anti-colonial, ideological, and religious motivation. Anti-colonial motivations were prevalent beginning in the 1940’s as a result of significant global political events. After WW II, realizing the Japanese had defeated the British, French, and Dutch colonial powers in Asia, the native populations of the lands colonized by the European powers perceived that the European System was not necessarily superior to that of the African, Asian, and Native American peoples. This led to populist movements to throw of the proverbial chains of foreign domination. This general feeling of antipathy to the European system increased when the western powers, under the auspices of the UN, declared that

The use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims is what we define as an act of terrorism, although technically there are 100 other different ways to define terrorism. When you hear the word terrorism in the United States, majority will automatically think of 9/11 or Osama Bin Laden. A lot automatically think of these two topics because they are not aware that terrorism occurs all over the world and not just in the United States. Overall, terrorism comes with a lot of concerns and information many need to know about.

Warfare has been an ever-evolving aspect of human nature. Throughout human history, man has always invented new ways to annihilate one another. With recent advances in terrorism, counterterrorism has developed a new type of counter. After September 11, 2001 under President Bush the Central Intelligence Agency would be the first into Afghanistan, thus compiling names to a secret list of high-value target and could be killed without presidential approval (Shaw and Akhter, 2014, P11). This would begin a new strategy of gathering names of terrorist leaders would be the start of a new counterterrorism tactic that the United States would adopt and continues to use today. This type of counterterrorism tactic would also be adopted by the special

We define terrorism as using force to influence or change a political decision. Given that there may be an array of situations the U.S. government and the American people are faced with on a daily basis, most would probably agree in saying that terrorism is the most imperative issue we are not only becoming victims to, but are interminably asked to deal with as well as finding a solution for.

Have you ever had a fear for your family, your town, your country, or your world. How about the fear to have everything taken from you, destroyed, and not caring if it has hurt you or not? What about your fear and pain is, and can be someone else’s happiness? The fear of you being terrorized? That is terrorism. Someone else bringing fear and terrorizing you. That is a terrorist’s goal. Terrorism is common and is very difficult to stop. The government promises protection for the people, and their home, but they can not give that protection if they can not stop terrorism. Terrorism needs to stop to protect the live of the people, and their country.

“Terrorism has become a systematic weapon of a war that knows no border or seldom has a face” - Jacques Chirac, September 24th, 1986. As Mr. Chirac says Terrorism has become a systematic weapon of war. This does not just mean the US and its allies this mean on a global scale in Africa, Europe, Asia, Australia, North and South America the whole planet is affected. Even the countries that support groups like ISIS and al-Qaeda are affected by the bombing that we send. This War knows no borders while there is international terrorism there is also domestic terrorism that happens inside countries. Terrorism plagues the world that we live in today that affects everyone men, women, children and as a world we need to come together and eliminate this threat which will help establish peace.

Religious terrorism is the oldest form of terrorism that we know of. Dating back to 70 CE, when a group of Jewish Zealots called the Sicarii, conducted operations such as physical attacks, kidnapping and murdering Roman officials. There were three main goals the Sicarii wanted to achieve; scare the Romans into leaving Jerusalem, compel the local government to react excessively therefore causing discontent or encourage the local population to revolt and fight against the Roman occupation. Unfortunately, more than 2,050 years after the Sicarii killed in the name of God, attacks based upon religious belief are still occurring and no ethnicity, sex, age or religion are exempt from these atrocities.

Think of the word terrorism. What is the first thing that comes to mind? One might think of kidnapping, assassination, bombing, or even genocide and guerrilla warfare. Because it is such a broad and complex issue, an all-encompassing definition is hard to formulate. The United States Department of Defence defines terrorism as…

The bombings of the United States embassies in Tanzania and Kenya were marked indicators that Africa based terrorist groups were increasing threats to the interests of democratic societies in Africa those of all freedom loving societies the world over. Our policy makers have for long treated the Middle East and Asia as the main battlegrounds in the war on terror. Those regions have been joined by Africa in the aftermath of the Arab revolution which gave rise to regional instability. Could demographic, economic and/or religious forces be fuelling the growth of terrorism in Africa, particularly Nigeria? I would show that the current preferred
