Terrorism

1)It is very difficult to resolve the international problem of terrorism

for several major reasons.

Terrorists usually don’t claim responsibility for their actions until

the fuse is lit, it’s not a case of Jack The Ripper sending an ear to the cops

and warning them who his next victim will be. Terrorists usually do claim

responsibility for their actions after the media is aware that something

happened, this gains recognition for their cause, which is often the reason they

resort to terrorism in the first place. These groups are often underground and

individuals rarely step forward, how can you arrest an entire group that you

can’t touch.

Governments endorsing terrorist acts and providing a safe house for them

once they’re on the run just adds to the problem. Hijackers can take their

hostages, get the ransom and fly the plane to the country of their choice. That

country is usually ready to welcome the criminal, for a small cut of the ransom.

Algeria used terrorism as a business to raise capital. By providing immunity,

they became a haven for terrorists. Many Middle Eastern countries resort to

terrorism when dealing with other nations. Saudi Arabia sponsors Islamic

terrorists to lay siege to Egypt. Terrorism is a means of influencing

international relations.

How can you prevent acts of terrorism when those paid to protect the

people are among the guilty. The Ku Klux Klan is a prime example of police

corruption and a government that turned its’ back on its’ people. Dirty cops and

prejudicial governments provided the fuel that burnt black churches of the

Southern States in the past . Many white citizens were not members of the Ku

Klux Klan, but most whites were reluctant to take a stand against the Klan until

the KKK’s acts of violence began to threaten whites who were not white

supremacists. When whites began to oppose the Klan, they went underground and

were thought to have disbanded but they arose again before the first war and

once more during the civil rights movements of the 1960’s. This problem has

arose again as Negro churches have again been targeted by arsonists. The police

have been unable to solve the majority of these crimes.

Hitler and his Nazi Regime could possibly be the worst example of a

government applying acts of terrorism on its people. When those at the top are

corrupt, how can the people defend themselves. Hitler’s methods and ideologies

have made him one of the most feared and hated men in history. Stalin also used

acts of terrorism on his people. His death squads that patrolled the streets at

night and annihilated the homeless was supposedly done for a good cause. I

think that is very questionable.

Negotiating with terrorists can also be bewildering. Recently Prime

Minister John Major of Britain and Prime Minister John Bruton of Ireland were

engaging in peace talks with the Irish political party Sinn Fein. Sinn Fein is

the oldest Irish political party and has been striving for the independence of

Ireland for years. They were founded in 1905 and have representatives in every

major Irish town, they are considered to be the political wing of the Irish

Republican Army. Sinn Fein claims to have genuinely sought after peace but

continuing British bad faith has caused the IRA to act. The British deny these

accusations of bad faith and became puzzled when the IRA broke a long standing

cease fire with a bombing in the urban center of Manchester.

Negotiations can be impossible in the case of suicide bombers. Many

Japanese Cults can not be traced. Though their agents are always caught, they

can never be questioned. Suicide is deemed heroic by the Japanese, the Japanese

cult Aum Supreme Truth used sarin nerve gas on a Tokyo subway to cause terror,

other previous Japanese cults have committed mass suicide at the order from

their leader to avoid interrogation and incarceration. Often these leaders have

some type of mind control on their followers.

Some countries don’t bother negotiating with terrorists. They take a

stance where if the terrorist asks for a million bucks they get squat. The

United States has a policy that is meant to deter terrorist-acts, no

negotiations, no mercy.

2) My position on this topic is anti-terrorism because terrorism is an unethical

method of gaining money or stealing publicity for a cause. Terrorists are

bullies that prey on the fears of the innocent. They drag women and children

into their wars with little concern for the lives that they shatter. They get

what they want by endangering the people that their enemies are responsible for.

The threat of a terrorist bomb is as petty as black mail.

Terrorists don’t need to resort to violence, they should negotiate

first. If they are a developing country crying for help, they should use the

media to
