This works stated problem is effectively addressed as it leads the reader to a logical conclusion that the problem of terrorism is ideological, rather than military and secular and that the West and the Middle East in their collective denial of change create even greater conflict and in fact feed the fire of extremism, on the one hand through heavy handed action and on the other through inaction and outside blame. The heavy emphasis of the "war on terror" as one that can somehow be magically resolved by a secular and military intervention from the West is not only irrational but it is counter productive in that it simply reiterates long held hatreds toward the West as aggressive and threatening to the way of life in the Islamic world. The purpose of the article to call both sides to a more logical point of action is very clear and logically detailed through opinion and example.
There is no review of literature within this work as it is an opinion-based work created by an expert in the field. A traditional review of literature could add a great deal to this work as it would further the expressions of the expert by offering similar and contrary opinions to support and rebut the opinions of...
The work does focus a great deal of direct attention on one single aspect of terrorism as the only global threat, from this standpoint it the work could be considered macroanalytic.
The results of this work, again ar limited as it is largely an opinion work that stresses logical findings of one expert on the subject. The summation of the article, can again be demonstrative of the major point of the work, demonstrating through a logical flow that the source of the problem of Islamic extremism can only be dealt with at that source, and only after the region acknowledges such a threat as both internal and global, and stops associating all ills, on an ideological and political level with the interventions both current and historical of the West.

Additionally there is no research base to this article, as it is mostly opinion based, with no intention of researching a hypothesis, but rather stating one for the utilization of other researchers and experts to begin from. The work does focus a great deal of direct attention on one single aspect of terrorism as the only global threat, from this standpoint it the work could be considered macroanalytic.

(Reese, Killgore & Ritter 22) Another well documented myth is that Iraq and some active terrorist organization, of which Iraq is not one, have benefited from the dissolution of the Soviet Union, through the proliferation of Soviet weapons scientists and their knowledge. A another fear of WMD proliferation was through Soviet "brain drain." Yet there has been no open-source evidence indicating that WMD materials or knowledge has reached terrorist hands from
3) The exportation of Saudi-born terrorist could backfire when these jihadists return from places like Iraq and turn their attention towards the royal family, whom many of them already hate. Essentially, Saudi is promoting the idea that terrorism is a viable path to political change, and that won't necessarily sit well when the chickens eventually come home to roost. 4) Hezbollah can now be seen as a partner to Iran rather than a
Fallout A section of commentators have taken issue with the manner in which the federal government denied suspected terrorist the due process of law as stipulated under the constitution. The government even commissioned the establishment of a torture chamber in Guantanamo Bay. This amounts to gross violation of human rights and civil liberties. There is another clause in the patriot act dubbed "enhanced surveillance procedures," which allows federal authorities to gather
Terrorism Final Examination Questions #1, #3, & #5 Bjorgo discusses levels of causation in the introduction of his book. These include structural causes, facilitator (or accelerator) causes, triggering causes, and motivational causes. At a macro level, how does each of these contribute to terrorism? In other words, concentrate on each of these types of causal factors at a general level (e.g. all kinds of structural causes), instead of focusing on individual causes
Others say Omar "was chosen by God," Rashid writes. When interviewed by a journalist from Pakistan (Rahimullah Yousufzai) after taking control of Kabul, according to Rashid's book, Omar stated, "We had complete faith in God Almighty. We never forgot that. He can bless us with victory or plunge us into defeat." Omar was born around 1959 (albeit much of his life is carefully guarded in secrecy), he has only one eye,
At times terrorist succeed and at times they fail. Some times they have larger and long-term goal and some times they have short-term aims. For example, a group hijacking a plane wanted some immediate results like release of the prisoners or financial gain but blowing a plane into a building would definitely mean that terrorists wanted something big out of it. Sometimes terrorists want to just cause panic and
