War against terror

Handling the War on Terror The Global War on Terror, or War on Terror, with the United States at the helm, is the second most expensive war in American history, having surpassed $2 trillion. At the same time, little has been accomplished for domestic security or the destruction of terror groups. The United States needs a clear, focused strategy to suppress terrorist groups, while at the same time eliminating the causes for terrorism. I propose a gradual drawdown and closing of US bases and garrisons

resolved. People have lost their lives, some have been displaced, properties destroyed and the government in general is affected as people live with fears of attack. The war on terrorism is a big challenge faced by most governments as they look for ways and means of controlling it. More efforts have been put in place to fight the war on terrorism but the outcome is not as effective as it is supposed to be since the attackers continue to develop new strategies as the current technology advances by day

The war on terror is not a cosmic war. A cosmic war is about religion; evidence shows that despite these extremists claiming that their sole cause is to establish a worldwide Islamic state, the ulterior reason behind their actions isn’t purely religious. In an article from The Atlantic, the author, Simon Cottee argues that the actions of ISIS retain no correlation with radical Islam. Cottee utilizes various analyses and readings from experienced scholars to reach a conclusion. Cottee states from

The War on Terror can readily be compared to WWI.  The following analysis will compare and contrast these two important historical occurrences.  It will also examine just a few of the many consequences of both.   Beneath its cloak, the infamous War on Terror garners striking similarities to WWI.  The terror attack on Austria-Hungary ignited the War on Terror…nearly a century later.  It was not until 1914 that a terrorist attack was utilized to provoke military response.  The attack of September

The Impact of the Reign of Terror Many people believe that the Reign of Terror was just a bloody time where several citizens living in France were executed for small crimes, but it actually had a profound impact on the society and country as a whole. The Reign of Terror was a time where people who opposed the Committee of Public Safety were being executed, usually by the guillotine.

Twelve years after the attacks of 9/11 I believe it is time to reconsider

Muslim religion and culture but violence against Hindu, Christian, Dalit or Sikh women was treated as “domestic violence”. The fact that Muslim women have been fighting their oppression did not make it to the media whereas women from the majority communities were portrayed as fighting for their rights. In the light of this experience there is an urgent need for both human rights activists and feminists to re-examine the concept of

ISIS. This has been happening alongside the Syrian civil war where ISIS is attempting to topple the Assad Shiite regime. Obama has been assisting the rebels in Syria and the fight against ISIS, but he has been reluctant to put boots on the ground. Because of the new attacks on American embassies in the East, the president has decided to militarily intervene.

that terror is needed to get rid of their enemies, which lead to running a good government. Robespierre’s speech is made to persuade the National Assembly that terror was a vital part of running a government. Overall, I found “On the Moral and Political Principles of Domestic Policy” a brilliant way to convince the National Assembly to use terror because he gives many reasons as to why he believes that terror is a good thing. Robespierre first states that to achieve peace, all wars against tyranny
