The Threat Of The United States

Terrorism is what others call patriotism. Terrorism has evolved throughout the timeline of history. It also blurs the line that helps us understand which side we’re on, mainly because in our modern day there are no clear sides.

Did communism pose a domestic threat to America? Why or why not? Yes, communism posed a threat to America. First you would need to know what communism really is and how socialism ties in with it (know your enemy). How they operate and what their goals are. One of the goals of the communist movement, was the destruction of capitalism.

The word “ terrorism” is used a lot in the world nowadays. The definition of a terrorist is someone who uses intentionally indiscriminate violence as a means to create terror or fear, in order to achieve a political, religious, or ideological aim. Some example of what we have establish as terror attacks are the Twin Towers in New York on the 11 of september 2001 or the Paris attack on november the 13 2015. The attacks were done by two different groups of terrorists, but what people tend to ignore is that these terrorist groups did not come to life from the unknown. What people tend to ignore or maybe just don’t understand or don’t know is that in this case, Al Qaeda was a creation of the United States of America, a country which was colossally

Terrorist attacks on the United States have been going on for decades or since the 1980 's when the United States Embassy was bombed that killed numerous Americans and civilian casualties. There was also the bombing at Khobar Towers in Beirut which happened months after the embassy incident. This attack killed numerous marines and injured many civilians that were present during that fateful day. This was long before the likes of Al Qaida and ISIS. Both were surprise attacks and there was not any warning giving but that was just the beginning of numerous attempts into the future years. Interesting fact is that many of the people that were killed during the embassy attack were CIA agents. That goes to show that the United

Throughout the 1990’s terrorism became more and more widely used as a means for achieving political ends. By the 2000’s, bin Laden had directed various attacks against the U.S. through the al-Qaeda terror network, including the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Africa (Mulhausen). On September 11th, 2001 things would change, Bin Laden would strike on United States soil. Nineteen terrorists hijacked four separate planes and crashed them into World Trade Center one and two and into the Pentagon while a fourth plane crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. These attacks left roughly 3000 people dead. Americans immediate response was to invade Afghanistan but the attack had changed the nature of American foreign policy. Eighteen months after the attacks, President Bush and the United States invaded Iraq. And since that day, the United States has been involved in rebuilding both nations. A large part of the reasoning given for the invasion of Iraq was the threat that Saddam Hussein posed in terms of his ability to acquire nuclear and/or chemical weapons. As you said in discussion, the threat of a terrorist organization acquiring nuclear capabilities is one of the things that make terrorism so scary. (Beaulieu)

2. Causes of Terrorism. There are many causes of terrorism in Pakistan but main cause of terrorism is poverty and unemployment. Rising poverty is generating disorder in the brains of deprived. The public stratification and category variation is growing. Resultantly usurpation and aggression are populating in the people of Pakistan. People could be gotten without any problems, and thus terrorism turned into out of control.

There has never been an attack from a foreign county on US soil (Associated Press, 2001). The United States Military is one of the strongest in the world. They are the better trained and equipped than any other country. The United States Military doesn’t come under attack very often for that exact reason.

According to my opinion, the greatest threat to our country is the debt ceiling and the corruption that lies within our own Government. The economy needs to improve in order for conflict to reduce. A stable economy creates jobs, reduces crime, increases salaries, decreases tension, increases happiness, causes better relationships with other countries (trade) etc. Research what inflation has done to this Country. Our government officials are extremely irresponsible when it comes to spending money and it doesn’t matter if they are Democrats or Republicans. I read the recent omnibus bill and a lot of it is wasteful spending. Did you know that this recent bill funds sanctuary cities, Planned Parenthood, the EPA and for security in Tunisia and Jordon? I don’t see

Yes, I think the US has a duty to help out neighboring countries in times of needs. The US needs as many allies it could get, so doing favors in return will help gain support. It's not necessary for the US to intervene every time, but in times of serious situations where countries need support is appropriate for the US to step in. Threats of war is an example of when the US should step

Successful nations allow conflict to arise within and outside of the nation. War is the offspring of such political intercourse. The intention to gain power and control serve as enablers for national and international wars. Attaining power and control expand potential competition from a regional to a global level. The United States have involved itself in such terrorists attacks due to the desire to possess such resources, power and control. The Islamic State of Iraq also commonly known as ‘ISIS’, Salafi jihadist militant group that follows an Islamic fundamentalist is the offspring of such desire from the United States and the Western Hemisphere. America’s interest and influence for oil in the middle east gave birth to ISIS. The United States and the Western Hemisphere desire for power and control enable terrorism.

Personally I believe the root cause of terrorism is simply disagreement. Reasons behind the disagreement could be everything from race, religion, politics, or even land. When people strongly disagree with other people's beliefs things can get violent. This is when the terrorism starts. People begin to terrorize each other in hopes they will stop believing and expressing their opinion.

Abu Sayyaf is still a big threat to the United States, it has roughly 200-500 members based out of the southern Philippines. Here in the United States the FBI is still tracking 3 of the main organizers of the Abu Sayyaf organization and the organization has made comments that have stated they want to fight the United States and it is strongly believed that given the opportunity although they are a small organization they will in fact take a huge leap at harming American citizens by means of bombing, extortion, assassinations, beheadings and what they are notorious for the most is kidnappings.

Terrorism is the child of decades of religious disputes, histories of deep national pride, and what is seen as infringement upon Islamic holy grounds. Islamic fundamentalists in the Middle East view America's presence in Saudi Arabia as blasphemous and intolerable . The preservation of face and appearance of strength are key elements in the world of the Middle East that evidence themselves in various ways. Extreme humiliation and oppression are two of the factors involved in inciting desperate people who feel shamed and weak to violent actions such as terrorism.

From the lips of the FBI, “Terrorism is the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objective.” On September 11, 2001 the United States of America experienced such actions, it was the largest terror attack experienced by any country. The affect this had on America was tremendous,

For example, the Andijan Events, which happened in 2005. Many innocent people were killed during the terrorists attempt to take control over the government of (maybe in) Andijan. As the President of Uzbekistan, Islam Karimov said (Uzbek Nation Will Never Depend on Others, 2005), the executors of that terror act were the members of, so-called, Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. Their primary goal was to set Caliphate in Uzbekistan, which would have made Uzbekistan an Islamic Republic and led to put dot in Uzbekistan's development, especially in economy growth. Also, there are some other reasons for terrorist acts such as: hate towards a race, nationality, or religion. The following example contains all reasons listed above. Another international terror group Al-Qaeda, number one terror group with a multimillionaire leader Osama Ben Laden, carried out a terror attack in 2001, in USA. Referring to Wikipedia.com (2006), terrorists hijacked four commercial airplanes and crashed two of them into World Trade Centre, in Manhattan. The other one crashed to US Pentagon, and fourth crashed in rural place in Pennsylvania. It took about 2,986 lives of innocent people, including 19 hijackers, and more than 40 000 people were injured.
