As we are approaching the 21st century, it seems that terrorism is becoming
another one of society's constant problems. It has reached to an extent that
most of us have now become immune to it. We hear about the hijacking of
different airplanes, kidnapping of diplomatic officers, slaughter of innocent
civilians by other civilians and what do we do about it? Nothing.
Due to some dirty fish, most of us do not protest anymore about passing our
luggage through metal detectors and submitting to searches at airports. Some of
us believe that terrorism is something that can not be controlled, just like
poverty, discrimination and crime, which is just there.
On the other hand, some experts believe that terrorism may be abolished if
nations begin to follow a firm, non-tolerant approach taken by countries like
________. What do most terrorists really want? Well, terrorists in most
instances first strike by doing something vicious like bombing an area, so that
the government and the citizens of the country can be terrified of them. Then,
they make their demands: _________, safe passage or release of their fellow
terrorists.
The media and the citizens then want the government to negotiate with their
demands and give them whatever they want so that they can go away. The situation
stated above is quite common and will only encourage further acts of terrorism.
What can the government do to stop terrorism? *It can eliminate terrorism by
showing the terrorists some action and retaliation as act of self-defense.
*It can exert political pressure on nations that practice or support
terrorism and refuse to trade with them. *It can refuse to sell these nations
any kind of _________ and/or military devices. It can terminate ________
relations and close down their __________ in these nations. *Another response
would be using military action, which should not be ruled out in the case of
hijacking of ships or planes. These steps may have some good affects on other
nations and soon the rest shall follow them.
