Terrorism

A article on terrorism.

Terrorism is the act of war against a population using terror to intimidate the citizens of a country or group. The reason terrorism exists is because we allow it to. we continually succumb to fear and threats of groups of people who themselves are forced by fear to commit these acts.Terrorism is a way for weak minded people to feel they have control over a community of people. Those who commit terrorism are often dropouts of society, sheltered extremists or people who give there life for a unknown cause. There will always be terrorism in my mind because there will always be people who have less then others and resent them for it or don’t trust or believe in the leaders of a country. The use of the intimidation and terror is a practice that has been going on since the first footsteps of mankind when man first realized it was easy to strike fear into his opponent to manipulate his actions.

The reason terrorism still exist today is because of all the turmoil in 3rd world countries and the power struggles of government officials. When governments mistreat their citizens it creates a strong sense of resentment and mistrust which cultivates anger and in in some cases is unleashed a terror usually striking those who are in the same situation as the terrorists and do not effect the ones the terrorists were originally out to punish. Why do they stoop to these levels is a question answered by the fact that many of them are uneducated and see no other way out of their situation and feel the need to make their voice heard. Another way this question can be answered is that they just have no regard for human lie and do not hold gods creation on a pedestal as they rightfully should because alike them all people were created equal and all have the same right to life as them. The terrorists fail to see how the way they handle there problems effects them adversely because there efforts to control other only comes back and hurts them, for example the war on terrorism in the middle east the terrorists thought they were gonna be able to strong arm the United States people and governments and they had another thing coming to them. In result of their attacks they have have become enemy number one one every list of all the freedom loving people of the world. They have single handedly dug their own graves when they entered another country and took the lives and several thousand innocent people.

Terorism will always be around thanks to those who continually think they can play by their own rules when it comes to making decisions for other people and they will contiually be defeated becuase there will always be some who isnt afraid to tell them their wrong and go after them as the United states has done now with The middle east and Africa.

    You make some good points. This was an interesting and informative article. It will take people like you and me to raise awareness, provide a deeper understanding and to stand and be counted in the ongoing fight against terrorism. I have written a tribute to those who died and those who survived the July 7th London bombings 4 years ago. I was working in an outer London hospital on the day. My piece is ‘Terrorism Failed.’
    I sincerely believe that if ordinary people work together then change will come. I hear people say “but what can I as one person do?” I answer “One person is like a drop of water in the ocean of life and if all the drops join together then they will form a river. Then that river will run to form a sea. United individuals that dare to make a stand, can and will change the world.
