Dear Professor Garcia
Enclosed in the report you requested due on 24 September by 11:59 on a problem and three solutions I came up on a current event which I been reading a lot about and that would be the problem with ISIS or aka ISIL, the three solutions are:
We could not do anything about the organization
Rectify the situation or their needs civilly
Fight them
This problem is something that our country and many other countries are dealing with right now, and is causing so much commotion. This report will give you an insight of what can happen or what will happen if and when we tried any of these three solutions to this problem.
The information in this report came from online sources, and a little bit of personal experience with my two tours of duty to Iraq. As well as some interviews and personal opinions of others.
Thank you for the opportunity to conduct this research, and thank you again for taking the time to read this report.
If you have any questions about the report, please ask!
Sincerely,
Matthew King

    To what extent have recent post 9/11 developments affected the strength of al Qaeda?

    For more than ten years, the west has done its utmost to crush on al Qaeda’s operational competences, which may perhaps have been diminished. The organization’s Taliban protectors were toppled in Afghanistan, and its easily accessible training camps, at one time the destination for jihadist volunteers worldwide, have been dispersed. In addition, al Qaeda attacks in Indonesia, Tunisia, Egypt, Morocco, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and Turkey between 2002 and 2006 prompted those governments to attempt to dismantle local terrorist networks. Cooperation among security services and law enforcement organizations worldwide has made its operating environment increasingly hostile (Ashour, 2011). Accordingly, al Qaeda has not been able to carry out a significant terrorist operation in the West since 2005, although its ability of mounting plausible, worrisome threats is not in question.…

    9/11, 2001: Why Is America A Target?

    Incited by religious fanatics, trained and financed by Osama Bin Laden’s Al Qaeda terrorist network, they killed three-thousand innocent people on 9/11 and triggered an escalating cycle of violence which has taken the lives of tens of thousands of other innocent people, and has made another 9/11 virtually inevitable. Tragically, America will continue to be a target of Islamic terrorism because it bears a significant degree of responsibility for generating the political, economic, cultural, and religious causes of…

    However, the Islamic State?s influence is expected to decrease in the Middle East. Their inability to control key cities, the U.S. efforts targeting their financial resources, and the population?s increased discontent with their methods and ideals are some of the reasons why the Islamic State is declining in the Middle East. Nevertheless, a decline does not mean eradication, IS will become something else that will continue to pose a threat to the United States and neighboring countries. The critical challenge in the Middle East is being able to effectively contain the threat to prevent IS from operating in Europe and the United…

    War on Terroism paperfinal 2 1

    When analyzing the world's current situation concerning terrorism, it is difficult to say whether the global war on terrorism has been a successful one. Since the September 11, 2001 attack on the World Trade Centers in New York City, George Bush, former president of the United States, vowed to defeat terrorism. Moreover, to entirely grasp the subject, one must be familiar with the definition of terrorism and it can be defined as an act of violence or threatened violence intended to spread panic in a society, and to bring about political change. Terrorists do not necessarily live in their native states, majority migrate to neighboring countries, and countries and often go undetected. The logistics and man power it takes to combat terrorism is immense, and it seems more evident that the global war on terrorism is not succeeding due to essentially three factors. First, that The United States has created a terrorist haven in the Middle East. Second, international support for the global war on terrorism is decreasing. Third, terrorism has been on the constant increase since 911. Sept 11, 2001 changed the world forever because the attack on the two most powerful economic symbols which was the Twin Towers World Trade Center and the Pentagon.…

    Needless to say many of us were dismayed when we later read the news that ISIS had taken over the entire Hawijah area in 2014. Our infantry unit had some extraordinary experiences combating terrorism in the region and also interacting with the locals in Hawijah and nearby towns. It was painful to read about atrocities inflicted by ISIS on the primarily Sunni people of the area.…

    War in Iraq

    After September 11, President Bush and his administration, associated the Iraqi regime with terrorism, and said Iraq had the capacity to produce Weapons of Mass Destruction, which could be used by terrorists to threaten the United States. Therefore, encouraging the U.S. citizens to support Bush and reelect him as President because he would take action by sending troops to Iraq, to find Saddam and other terrorists, while obtaining weapons that could potentially be used against the U.S. However, over time Bush and his administration began to lose support for their action taken in the war.…

    America's Top Three Potential Terrorist Attacks

    Since the successful attacks by planned by Osama Bin Laden, and carried out by Al Qaeda terrorists, the United States of America has implemented new strategies to thwart efforts by terrorist to achieve another successful attack on US soil. Along with the new Global War on Terrorism, came new laws, different executive orders, and the implementation of the Department of Homeland Security to combat terrorism and to strengthen the nation's national security. According to James Carafano and Jessica Zuckerman, “There is little doubt that the United States is safer than it was on September 10, 2001—at least 40 terror plots against the U.S. have been foiled since 9/11—but the war on terrorism is not yet won” (Carafano and Zuckerman 2011, par.2). After many successes, at least 40 foiled plots said by Carafano and Zuckerman, the United States has monitored and compiled a list of suspected terrorist organizations both foreign and domestic. However, the US has recently began to slow down their efforts in national security interest. Under the leadership of the Obama Administration, there have been many defense cuts, a refusal to secure US borders, and a foreign policy that has caused more instability in the Middle East than ever before. This has given rise to more hatred for the hegemonic United States government by Islamic extremists, and has left the United States susceptible to three major types of terrorist attacks that are likely to occur on American soil.…

    War in Iraq

    The United States declares war against Iraq (after an attack allegedly by Al Queda, a terrorist group based in Afghanistan) to destroy their nuclear weapons but what about other countries like North Korea’s nuclear weapons? On September 11, 2001 the United States suffered devastating attacks to the Pentagon, Washington and the World Trade Center resulting in the loss of many innocent civilians lives. The United States government went on to figure out how justice would be served. As a result of 9/11, in 2003 the United States decided to invade Iraq in order to stop Saddam Hussein as dictator, stop production of weapons of mass destruction, fight the war against terrorism and gain control of Iraq’s oil reserves. The “Just War Doctrine” was created in order to guide the United States in making the decision whether or not war is acceptable. The Vanity Fair article “Path to War”(2004) written by Bryan Burrough, Evgenia Peretz, David Rose, and David Wise reveals evidence how and why the war on Iraq is unjust and breaks the principles in the “Just War Doctrine.” Although we have destroyed Saddam Hussein and his organization does not mean the war was justified and many lives could have been saved if other options were put into effect. In order to constitute a war the benefits must out weigh the damages and follow the principles of the Just War Doctrine. However the Bush Administration used the attack on 9/11 to persuade the United States the war is just without fully investigating evidence and alternatives. The Bush Administration went against the Just War Doctorine and used 9/11 as an excuse to stress unnecessary and uninvestigated reasons to declare war on Iraq. According to the Just War principles, the Bush Administration’s declation of war on Iraq was unjust.…

    NSA Does Not Spy On Everyone Essay

    Remember where you were when the attacks of September 11th happened? Think back to that time. Think back to the scenes of burning rubble. Think back to the shock that all Americans felt at the ability of foreign terrorists to penetrate this country’s defenses and launch such an attack like that on American soil. If someone had told you that America would go almost a decade without another terrorist attack, would you have believed them? Probably not; which begs the question , why did that attack never come? Marc Thiessen, resident counterterrorism fellow at the American Enterprise Institute explains, that, “[T]there are only two possibilities. Either the terrorists lost interest in attacking us again, or we found out what their plans were and stopped them from carrying them out.”1 He asserts that, “T[t]he reason that attack did not happen is because America abandoned the law enforcement approach to terrorism that failed to stop the 1992 World Trade Center bombing, that failed to stop…
