The ways in which these groups are labeled and characterized has a large impact

the most rational people will result to terrorist tactics. By terrorism, this is meaning non-state actors that are using non-traditional guerilla warfare tactics as military aid in a time of conflict.

Comley After all this time, the United States has stopped paying tribute to the Barbary Islands. Our country is finally standing up to the people whom have caused us much trouble. Some are saying we are brave, but others are saying we wish to fight a battle we might lose. Was the stopping of the tribute helpful to the United States, a way of showing how powerful we were? Or were we overestimating ourselves in starting this war? As everyone ,whom is everyone, knows, the Barbary War is over. But we are

The port city of Khorramshahr, the staging area of the first battle that kicked off the Iran-Iraq war, was a predominately wealthy, upper class city with a population of over 200,000 people.

Covert ops, secret alliances, a coup at the beginning of the battle – sweet! But against who . . . our allies, the French. Oooh, not so good. And where at? The Mediterranean Theatre is where it took place (*yawns*). Operation Torch is a war of great significance to us, but is little-covered.
