Terrorism

... the way of violence and arrogance directed against the peaceful people. The people, who practice violence against the others to make an influence on government in order to reach their financial or political goals, are called terrorists. Their actions are called terrorism. Nowadays, there are more and more peaceful people suffering because of the different forms of terrorism all over the world. Terrorism is a rather old phenomenon. Even in the first century AD, in Palestine, there was a sect of the Sic Arians, which used to kill the Jews who had common deals with the Romans (Boltunov). In the nineteenth century Philosophy of the bomb prevailed. This philosophy supported the principle by which small groups of people would be able to cause the very maximum of chaos (quoted. Encyclopedia Britannica p.232). First of all, there are terrorists who are fanatics. They act this way because of their strong believes about certain kinds of politics or religion. They are sure that their actions will bring a benefit to their country and will help to change the life people in a good way. They believe that they are fighting for right moral principles. There were some peaceful victims during the action. Usually, it is necessary to pay with blood for the better future (quoted. Boltunov M. p.32).

Beside these three main groups, there are also many single terrorists who act because of their personal motivations. It is impossible to describe all of them. They can vary from person to person. Usually these people are not as dangerous as the ones who relate to the groups listed above because the terror is not their lifestyle. They use it because they cannot find another way to change the conditions of their difficult and hopeless situations in lives (quoted. Britannica The Book of The Year p.205). People do not pay enough attention to the terror acts in Palestine, Northern Ireland, Bosnia, or Chechnya. Attention can be attracted only by the most tragically ones. Like blowing up the barracks of the U.S. base in Saudi Arabia. Middle East is well known for its anti Western tendencies. The growing anti-Western feeling is palpable. (MacLean’s July8, 1996). The terrorist acts against Americans are becoming more and more common. What is really done in the world about that problem? What do our governments can do? What ways do they already have? What should be done to make the struggle with the terrorism more effective? Political leaders are worrying about the issue.
