Is Terrorism ever justified?

Introduction

The War on Terrorism threatens to undermine the security of the United States. While the United States has taken measure to instill security among the people there is still more to be done. Because of the War on Terrorism people across the globe remain scared for their lives. All people are scared except the people we are trying to scare (Stern, 2000). Terrorism has become a very hot theme in the past couple of years. Terrorism was conveyed to the public eye on September 11, 2001 when four airplanes were hijacked and utilised as bombs, smashing into into the World Trade Center buildings and the Pentagon. In the wake of 9/11, on October 26, 2001, President wilderness marked an anti-terrorism bill renowned as the Patriot Act. The Patriot proceed presents the government agencies with larger authority to pathway and intercept communications to battle Terrorism. When the leader signed the Patriot proceed, the conflict on Terror became easier to battle and it became easier to avert future attacks on American armies, at dwelling and abroad. The Patriot proceed has had a great effect on the prevention of Terrorism ever since the account has been passed.

Case study: Terrorism 9/11

The genuine event—the 9/11 attack—was a lawless individual proceed conveyed out by forces I would recount as clerical fascists. Their outlooks have little to manage with Islam, and in that sense I would not recount them as Muslim extremists. They have a outlook of the world which is very male supremacist, very hierarchical, anti-West, and interestingly, pro-capitalist. They grabbed on genuine grievances distributed by millions, if not billions, of the world's persons in alignment to perform a terror strike, but their objectives were far from honorable.

It might be quibbling over phrases, but I would not recount 9/11 as an "act of war", except, possibly in a metaphoric sense. The bombing of Pan Am 103, for example, was a terror act; a lawless individual act; a murderous proceed, but not an proceed of war. 9/11 was highly symbolic, and conspicuously rather brutal and heinous. It was not conveyed out by another homeland neither was it part of a broad-based mass movement. We may contradict on this assessment. Nevertheless, in focusing on this occurrence, it is very so straightforward to misplace view of the context. More significantly, for those of us in the USA, it is so straightforward to disregard a very distracting fact: The USA is despised round the world and that abhorrence presents a certain grade of mass support for lawless individual activities for example 9/11. Now if we hear to George W. one would resolve that the USA is despised because we have such a large life here and that the world's persons are jealous (Reich, 1990).

I would border the difficulty a bit differently. 1 billion persons in the world live on less than $1/day. Roughly another 1 billion live on under $2/day. Drinking water is being depleted such that millions ...
