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

    Every moment in America post 9/11, in accordance to foreign policy, is critical. The results of the attack were perceived differently from both sides of the newly phrased “war on terror.” For the victims of the attack, revenge, justice and security were envisioned and for the attackers, revenge and justice were achieved. The newly imposed threats called upon swift and dramatic changes in the policymakers tactics in order to combat the massive blow to their infrastructure. The policymakers answered with the Bush Doctrine. After witnessing the attempt, in many aspects successful, the Obama administration is attempting another route. The Obama administration wishes to expose the tactics, that can be proven a success, and follow…

    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.…

    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…

    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…

    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…

This was something we never thought would happen again after Pearl Harbor, to be attacked on our own land. These terrorist lived among us, while plotting to destroy us, it lend the question, how exactly do we stop someone who is not afraid to die?

    On September 11, 2001 America woke up expecting a normal day. What America did not expect was that this day was going to change history forever. On that day Islamic extremist high-jacked four U.S. airplanes with the intent of crashing them into the twin towers, the Pentagon and the White House. Two of the planes did indeed crash into the twin towers in New York City and another was used to hit the pentagon. The passengers on the last plane however, fought back, and it was landed before it could be used to hit the white house. “A decade later, what happened on Sept. 11 still resonates for much of the country. Even more Americans now say the horror of that day changed their lives.”1 These were the first attacks ever directed toward U.S. civilian population. These organized attacks lead to the need for an immediate change in the way the United States approached defending itself.…

    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

    • 2574 Words
    • 11 Pages

    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.…
