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.

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…

    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.

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…
