Bush administration. During his administration, Obama has overseen an approach that relies on a combination of targeted killing, security assistance to military and intelligence forces in partner and allied countries, and intensive electronic surveillance.]]> 2017-05-22 13:29:46 UTC https://padlet.com/darionf695/671a5wfn70x4/wish/173140494 darionf695 https://padlet.com/darionf695/671a5wfn70x4/wish/173363004 Zinn is an author of anti terrorism books and a professor of history at Boston College.

During the decade of the 1970s terrorists killed 184 people in the States and injured more than 600 others. In the decade and a half since 9/11, terrorists have, by contrast, killed 74. Between 1970 and 1979 nationalist and ethnic terrorists, religious zealots, and anti-war militants frequently attacked American targets. Terrorist attacks typically consisted of bombings of civilian targets in New York, Los Angeles, and Washington that were also interspersed with shooting sprees aimed at the police.]]> 2017-05-23 12:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/darionf695/671a5wfn70x4/wish/173364994 darionf695 https://padlet.com/darionf695/671a5wfn70x4/wish/173367080 The victims are normally civilians because attacks on them increase the impact of the violence on the target audiences. Terrorism is also a weapon of the weak. Groups that are able to obtain their desired political objectives by other means such as victory in an election, intra-elite maneuverings, military coups, bribery, rebellion, or civil war, are much less likely to rely on terrorism as the primary means of trying to achieve their goals. ]]> 2017-05-23 12:31:00 UTC https://padlet.com/darionf695/671a5wfn70x4/wish/173367080 darionf695 https://padlet.com/darionf695/671a5wfn70x4/wish/173368724 Democratic regimes, by contrast, are assumed to provide more tempting locations for terrorist activities than totalitarian states. Democracies are by definition more open politically, and there are protections that come with respect for civil liberties. Furthermore, restrictions on surveillance and investigations by the security forces and police agencies are in force. Republicans offer far greater support for actions directly attributed to the Bush administration in the campaign against terrorism than do Democrats, who worry that the president will go too far and ignore civil liberties.]]> 2017-05-23 12:38:00 UTC https://padlet.com/darionf695/671a5wfn70x4/wish/173368724 darionf695 https://padlet.com/darionf695/671a5wfn70x4/wish/173371512 http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/01/10/AR2006011001192.html

They also want to prevent Afghanistan and other nations from becoming terrorist havens. Democrats increase public diplomacy to promote understanding and prevent terrorist recruitment. Republicans want to limit aerial surveillance over US soil and  Privatize the TSA. They want to use the National Military Strategy to deter rogue aggression. Few Republicans prefer diplomacy to military action

In an ideal situation, we as a world would be able to agree to disagree. This seems to be impossible. The problem is that we think we are right and so does everyone else. The problem is that there is no way to prove we have the better side. We are no better than the terrorist. We even have domestic terrorism. There may be no solution but a good start would to lead by example. How can we say the middle east and other areas of terrorism are wrong if we are no different. Extremism comes in different shapes and forms but is all the same in its entirety. I truly believe the only way to solve terrorism is to be come unanimous in the same religion. This will never happen due to how strong we are taught to believe and stand up for our religion. ]]> 2017-05-23 13:13:10 UTC https://padlet.com/darionf695/671a5wfn70x4/wish/173378912 darionf695 https://padlet.com/darionf695/671a5wfn70x4/wish/173380791 2017-05-23 13:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/darionf695/671a5wfn70x4/wish/173380791 darionf695 https://padlet.com/darionf695/671a5wfn70x4/wish/173381067 2017-05-23 13:20:26 UTC https://padlet.com/darionf695/671a5wfn70x4/wish/173381067
