The Clinton Administration: Transition Into The 21st Century

I stand before you today because the United States of America is facing a challenge. We have faced many challenges throughout our history, but we have withstood them. That is how I know that if we try, we can achieve great things. As we transition into the 21st century, we have seen a concerning rise in terrorism. Already, we have seen thousands of Americans harmed, and if these attacks continue, we will see countless more. These terrorist’s goals are to intimidate us to achieve their goals. They are sending a message, and we must respond. Terrorism is not a new thing. We have seen it through the centuries, but it has grown worse, especially as the world of technology continues to advance. As the leaders of this powerful country, we have a
The Antiterrorism Law was passed in February 1995. It gave the Federal jurisdiction higher authority in prosecuting terrorists. It also offered a way to prevent terrorists from entering the United States in the first place. It created deeper control over biological and chemical weapons, making it harder for them to fall into the wrong hands. It also gave American victims of terrorist attacks court-awarded compensation.

In Foreign Policy, we will try to find out how these terrorists are getting supplies and money, and will we stop it. We will freeze any assets they have, and we will destroy their suppliers if we get the chance. We will continue to fight for freedom where we deem necessary. Although war is never an option I like to accept, I would prefer to freely choose to go down fighting for a cause I believe, rather than to fall under the terror that has engulfed so much of the world we live in. The world is far from perfect and so are we, but we can try to make it a place where everyone gets an equal say. We will also promote schooling and teach our children the right way to live, so that they will not fall into this world of
