It is the third major terrorist attack against France in a year and a half, after the massacres at Charlie Hebdo and the Stade de France, and the tenth one total. The 9/11 era is over: today, France is ground zero. It is caught in a perfect storm of radical Islam's loathing, envy, and opportunity.]]> 2016-10-17 14:54:12 UTC https://padlet.com/youngnathaniel/tgxqv6p4jlpc/wish/131167805 Article 7 youngnathaniel https://padlet.com/youngnathaniel/tgxqv6p4jlpc/wish/131168416 Fear has spread as well. In June, the Pew Research Center reported that ISIS was viewed as the top threat in eight of 10 European countries that it surveyed, edging out other dangers like climate change and global economic instability. Around the same time, CNN polling revealed that Americans were more likely to expect terrorist attacks in the United States in the near future than at any point since March 2003, shortly after the U.S. went to war in Iraq.]]> 2016-10-17 14:55:26 UTC https://padlet.com/youngnathaniel/tgxqv6p4jlpc/wish/131168416 Article 5 youngnathaniel https://padlet.com/youngnathaniel/tgxqv6p4jlpc/wish/131170122 The stark truth is that the Western political elite remains in denial, and not just about terrorism but about the anger and frustration over the effects of globalization, which have nourished xenophobia in most if not all rich countries. ]]> 2016-10-17 14:59:06 UTC https://padlet.com/youngnathaniel/tgxqv6p4jlpc/wish/131170122 Article 3 youngnathaniel https://padlet.com/youngnathaniel/tgxqv6p4jlpc/wish/131802744 It was with disbelief and shock that people around the world saw footage of the terrorist attacks in the US on on September 11, 2001 when the planes-turned-missiles slammed into the World Trade Center towers and damaged the Pentagon.]]> 2016-10-19 14:40:59 UTC https://padlet.com/youngnathaniel/tgxqv6p4jlpc/wish/131802744 Article 2 youngnathaniel https://padlet.com/youngnathaniel/tgxqv6p4jlpc/wish/142589437 Fifteen years ago, 19 men committed suicide and took more than 3,000 people with them. The 9/11 attacks constituted crimes against humanity and should have been treated as such, with investigations and prosecutions of those who helped plan and finance the horrific crimes.

If they had been armed attacks by another country, George W. Bush could have lawfully used military force in self-defense under the United Nations Charter. But they were not. Neither Afghanistan nor Iraq had attacked the United States or any other UN member country. In fact, Iraq had not invaded any country for 11 years, since it went into Kuwait. Neither Afghanistan nor Iraq posed an imminent threat to any nation.

Washington called on other states to join in the fight against terrorism asserting that "either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists." Many governments joined this campaign, often adopting harsh new laws, lifting long-standing legal protections and stepping up domestic policing and intelligence work. Critics charge that the "war on terrorism" is an ideology of fear and repression that creates enemies and promotes violence rather than mitigating acts of terror and strengthening security. The worldwide campaign has too often become an excuse for governments to repress opposition groups and disregard international law and civil liberties.]]> 2016-12-08 16:01:39 UTC https://padlet.com/youngnathaniel/tgxqv6p4jlpc/wish/142590110
