Domestic & International Terrorism?

Question

what do u predict will be the future of terrorism in domestic terrorism and international terrorism?

Answer 1

It's going to happen.
Could you be any more general?

Answer 2

That's a mighty question you've just asked!

One major delelopment is the enjoining of domestic and international terrorism.

If we look at the make-up of groups, the modern ones are taking on a new form not previously witnessed and it is this that is causing such major headaches for us. Using Al Qaeda as an example; most experts now agree that the group 'Al Qaeda' no longer exists per se, at least not as an active terrorist entity, instead Al Qaeda has become principally an ideology that enjoins and inspires both franchisees and unrelated groups around the world - this 'network' structure is the focal problem facing us today. Hence the notion that domestic and international terrorism are becoming as one...

Countries (the US in particular) need to accept that domestic policies have far reaching consequences that exceed borders and a domestic audience - this is the world that we have created.

Likewise, who says that the Western way is the right way? Or more importantly: who says that the Western way is right for those not of the West...? And at what stage do we feel it our duty to force our particular values and beliefs onto others? And at what stage have people become stupid or arrogant enough to think that people will not respond?

As for governments and/or agencies sitting down to tackle the problem together - the last time I checked there were 109 'official' definitions of terrorism - why so many? Because like everything else it comes dowm to money and to budgets, and as such one unilateral definintion is unacceptable to those in power.

To sum up this brief address on the subject: Terrorism dates back thousands of years, and quite simply we'll always have it in one guise or another. People will always express themselves through violence, just as others will always opt for dialogue - human nature I'm afraid.

Things will get worse as traditions, culures and ways of life are forced out, decimated and degraded by the materialism of the the West, and until the West addresses these deep seated concerns, the only way that some of these other cultures feel able to make their point, will be to employ greater and more frequent attacks.

Answer 3

Domestic and international terrorism are motivated by different feelings or experiences. I believe both will continue in the future. We in the US have been fortunate. We are just now experiencing (with terrorism) what other countries have long had to deal with. Most of the communist inspired and/or political terrorism of the 1970s have gone away (IRA bombings in London & Ireland, Bader-Meinhoff group in Germany and the Red Army in Italy). But the Middle East issues continues to inspire terrorism.

Answer 4

Until the world wakes up to the fact that violence is NOT the solution there will be waves of terrorism every few years. Unless the people who koonw about people who are terrorists (and their supporters) and report them to their respective governments and their governments do something about them. They will always be around.

Governments cannot back down, kowtow, placate, or appease terrorists. The thought processes that inspire one to be come a terrorist have to be stamped out as completely and as aggresively as a malignant cancer growth.

But the people have to be convinced to help. Governments from another country can help. But it's the people demanding action from their government and helping their own government that have to do the majority of the work.

Answer 5

i would say that the milk is already all over the table and we can't put back in the carton, we are going to have to come up with some way of cleaning this mess up, these people are using our laws and our culture to get away with murder( i mean that literally) if their not blowing something up, then their hacking or scamming people on the internet, or they are moving drugs into the U.S. the reason were having so much trouble stopping them is this contrys basic human rights and the alure of fast easy money that the drug trade shows people, if the world wants to get rid of terroist, then all of the different goverments are going to have to sit down and agree, what is terroism, how does it affect them and what laws can be made to fight it, to be blunt, this a chance for all the world leaders to sit down and talk about somthing that affects them all, it's the comomn ground that they are all looking for, i say set your ego's aside and get it done, people are still dying what are you doing about it, that should be the message we are sending to our leaders,

Answer 6

They both are already happening.............
domestically you have attacks such as VA Tech, and internationally you have bombings everywhere (including 9-11) they (terrorist) have their eye's on the entire world dominance.....what a joke.

And nothing will change....well at least not in the near future that is!

Answer 7

If by some miracle the U.S. troops are allowed to withdraw from the Middle East, I believe Israel will pull off another terrorist attack against the American people like they did on 9-11. The USA is the puppet of Israel. It is sad but true.

Answer 8

International Terrorism.

Globalization cannot be stopped!

Answer 9

United States are the only terrorists I know of.
