It is the most curse and most serious and sincere which must be strictly controlled and every one should take part in War against Terrorism to bring peace in all over the world.[4][5] The concept of terrorism may be controversial as it is often used by state authorities (and individuals with access to state support) to delegitimize political or other opponents,[6] and potentially legitimize the state’s own use of armed force against opponents (such use of force may be described as “terror” by opponents of the state).The use of word terrorism has become very common after the act on World Trade Center on 11th September 2001. .The word “terrorism” is politically and emotionally charged,[3] and this greatly compounds the difficulty of prov...

In 1973 when the Committee of public safety was constituted and succeeded the Committee of Vigilance (Spence; p. 291), Danton proclaimed, “Let us be terrible so that the people will not have to be.” One cannot help but agree with T. Ridge (2003) when he remarks that if War on Terror has been announced for peace then ‘Homeland Security’ is just another name for the vigilance committee and has been formed in the name of freedom.As a result of the terror attacks, US post the announcement of War on Terror, took a lot of steps in order to be prepared to shield the country from any unpredictable, unknown but inevitable situation.In the words of Keith Spence, “In leveraging sentiments of uncertainty amongst target populations, pre emption like ...

S. first began to take a look at terrorism as a distinct and increasingly dangerous risk (p. 6).The U.

However, following the Cold War, the Sino-American relations took another turn as China started to expand into a great power, replacing the USSR.The collective interests and integration prevent a war.This mutual deterrence provides a buffer against a general war and also a strong constraint on both limited war and crisis behavior.During the Cold War, the fact that the USSR and the U.S. were in mutual possession of nuclear weapons served as an additional source of constraint on their behavior (Friedberg 28-29).Economic interdependence is one of the most vital factors that has eliminated the possibility of war in the contemporary world.

In such a situation, terror attacks on 9/11 became the only effective response to the oppression of Eastern countries by the US.each civilization views the terror attacks from its own standpoint and, therefore, the attitude of people in the West and in the East to 9/11 differs.In this regard, Said Edward argues that “the basic paradigm of West versus the rest (the cold war opposition reformulated) remained untouched, and this is what has persisted, often insidiously and implicitly, in discussion since the terrible events of September 11” (Said Edward, 118).At this point, it is possible to refer to the experience of other terrorist organization, such as Hezbollah, which has gained the public support in Lebanon because, even though this or...

In any war, the perception of weakness or lack of resolve spells the difference between victory and defeat, and if the world is to have a chance against terrorism, it can only do so with the cooperation and active involvement of everyone concerned.In the end, the Internet may be the last bastion where the war against terrorism will be ultimately won or lost; a battle where we all can make a difference.In the final analysis, the war against terrorism is not about who is right or wrong, but is more about who stands to earn more from the death and suffering of so many innocent lives.For those who are waging the war against terrorism, the Internet may be a most crucial aspect that they should look into.The accessibility of the Internet makes...

No longer is terrorism a method of governance; it is a method to attempt to destroy governments.The word terrorism is bandied about freely in recent years to describe people who are opposed to and committing some act against the standing government of a country.Indeed, when first used to describe the French in the late 1790s, the word terrorism did not apply to a specific act.Ultimately, the word terrorism means to use fear to accomplish one’s goals.By the proper definition of terrorism, the phrase “State-sponsored terrorism” is redundant.

The Department of Defense defines terrorism as “the calculated use of violence or threat of violence to inculcate fear; intended to coerce or to intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political, religious, or ideological.” Per the definition, the terrorists are not giving into a whim of random acts, but these individuals are using calculated moves in order to achieve the purpose of the group.The rational terrorist is more of a strategist, which uses terrorism to achieve an outcome.This individual seeks to determine whether there are less costly and more effective ways to achieve the objective than terrorism.In the roots of this organization, terrorism may have seemed to be the only alternative to a...

For one thing, there is war.In November of 2007, the world watched closely as oil prices reached a record high of $98 per barrel; with countries holding their breath as the prices slowly and closely climbed to a $100.As such, it wouldn’t be much of a surprise that within every Government’s national interests and national agendas come a genuine concern for both the access and the security of that access to oil (in other words, the security of imports for non-producing countries).With all the factors manifesting as a prime influence in both the increase and decrease of oil prices, probably one of the most important factors (and probably the newest to say the least) of all is the emergence of global terrorism.The presence of war generates a...

Just like other religions, which have activities in order to exercise their basic freedom of religion, so does Islam have their own sets of activities which do not at all propagate war but through means which are peaceful.As explained by Malek, Islam could have used other Arabic words which specifically refer to war instead of the word ‘jihad’ if the intention was to propagate war (122).He says that it is not a holy war against the non-believers as is commonly understood, which phrase was merely coined by the West in its struggle against the Muslims during the time of the Crusades, a war instigated by the Church for religious gain (Malek 122).In the verses cited, jihad is used in the general sense of striving hard, morally, spiritually, ...

As those who criticized the war at the onset, today’s critic argues that the justification of going to war was not a concrete concept, but “rather constituted a judgment on violent actions without clear boundaries.” (Guelke 187) Alain Chouet, former officer of France’s DGSE, states that “You do not wage a ‘war on terror’ – it’s as ridiculous as a ‘war on anger.’ You don’t wage a war on terror; you wage a war against people.” (Moutot 1) He believes that in order to combat terrorism we must attack what causes it – Wahhabite ideology and Saudi Arabia and the Muslim Brotherhood, for example.The War on Terrorism has shown that the enemy is far more advanced than those of the past; therefore, the Department of Homeland Security has taken dr...

Terrorism, on the other hand, is violence of the weaker force, usually expressed by a few individuals with exceptionally radical views.Terror is violence against people, the aim of which is to suppress the opposition and the entire public, in order to eliminate any thoughts of resistance they might have.Terrorism as a phenomenon has two main illustrative purposes: first – to put pressure on the authorities, to intimidate, to spread fear and uncertainty; second – to address their target audience, that layer of society, which is believed to be subjected to persecution or discrimination, but inferior to radical terrorists.Terrorism (from Lat.The term “terrorism” began to take on signs of political assassinations, and the concept of “terror”...
