    Anti-Terrorism as a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

    The Rand Corporation for the National Memorial Institute for the Prevention of Terrorism (MIPT) reveals that there has been a 250 percent increase in terrorist activity from September 11, 2001 to September 2006 alone. If we divide post 9/11 into two phases until 2006, the first phase has 4772 fatalities from terrorist attacks and the second phase has 5177 fatalities (Conetta, 2006). Thus, all efforts to counter terrorism has only effected in their increase. The US war against Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Libya, North Korea and others in fact encourages ordinary citizens from these countries to launch attacks against the US comparable or even similar to terrorist’s acts. Instead of solving the roots of the problem such as creating an international atmosphere of peace and justice, anti terrorism campaigns have in fact sowed the…

    Genocide in Sri Lanka

    To quote the late Chinese politician Mao Tse-Tung a, “Politics is war without bloodshed while war is politics with bloodshed.” Genocide; is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group. But why do we participate in a matter that can only have a negative outcome? The ongoing struggle can be related to the religious, political and the European intervention to Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka a small island that lies in the Indian Ocean, granted its independence in 1948. What was once a beautiful and peaceful land has now been in the midst of South Asia’s longest ongoing Civil War, between the majority Sinhalese and the minority Tamils. Since 1983, there has been civil war, predominantly between the government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE, also known as the Tamil Tigers), a separatist militant organization who fight to create an independent state named Tamil Eelam in the North and East of the island.…

    Counterterrorism Policy

    Nevertheless, these are frequently cited terrorist incidents. In reality, “terrorist groups achieved their main policy objectives only three out of forty-two times—a 7 percent success rate” (cited in Abrahms, 2006: 51). Attacking civilians, ultimately, does not improve the chances of terrorism forcing political authorities into compliance. The contention is that attacking civilians miscommunicate the terrorist’s policy objectives (Abrahms, 2006: 56). A terror group's communication strategy breaks down when they demand hostile and unwavering maximalist objectives, such as declaring the eradication of entire societies. Governments are not going to forgo their political and social structures due to intimidation caused by attacking civilians; this…

    The Origin of Terrorism

    Terrorism involves activities such as assassinations, bombings, random killings, hijackings, and skyjackings. It is used for political, not military, purposes, and by groups too weak to mount open assaults. Terrorism reaches back to ancient Greece and has occurred throughout history. In the 20th cent. acts of terrorism have been associated with the Italian Red Brigades, the Irish Republican Army, the Palestine Liberation Organization, Peru 's Shining Path, and the Weathermen among many groups. It is a modern tool of the alienated and its psychological impact on the public has increased because of extensive coverage by the media. Governments find terrorism difficult to prevent; international agreements to tighten borders or return terrorists for trial may offer some deterrence. In 1999 the UN Security Council unanimously called for better international cooperation in fighting terrorism and asked governments not to aid terrorists.…
