Terrorism Reviews

it starts with a light aircraft, flying upwind over a major city, perhaps London or Washington. From below, people in the street notice a fine mist emanating from the undercarriage, like some crop-dusting scene from an old movie. Perhaps they think no more of it, and the hours pass without further incident or obvious effects. But then, ...

I have read some rubbish written about the current situation going on in Afghanistan. Not only on this site, but in the Press generally. More twaddle too is spouted on Radio Phone ins as quite amazingly people bend over backwards to try to rationalise the workings of Osama bin Laden's Evil mind. I must first say that I live in ...

'The USA will hunt out the terrorists and their backers and make sure that free people can live in a free world without fear of a terrorist attack'. What rubbish! The USA has supplied funds to the IRA for years. They openly raise funds in Chicago and ironically New York for terrorist organisations in Great Britain. Lets ...

Terrorrism is probably the most used word in the media at present. The events of Sept 11 have changed a great many things. The world is not the same place anymore. The events of that day have led on to a war, a war against terrorrism. But how will that work. How can we have a war against terrorrism. What is the definiton of ...

First let me define a few words associated with terrorism. Dissident - A person not in agreement with the authorities. Radical - A person holding extremist views. Anarchy - Lack of government in a state or country. Lawlessness. Anarchist - One who subscribes to such. Terrorist - One who causes fear, dismay, consternation, ...

The recent events in the US must surely have touched every human being in existance no matter what their beliefs or values. I first became aware of what was going on whilst sufing the web at work during a quite period. Brief newsflashes reporting a plane had hit the World Trade Centre - I passed it on to colleagues and there was shock ...

I remember September 11th very well for several reasons. My father had called me at work to tell me about the world trade center, it was just after the first plane had crashed into the first tower. To my detriment I did think at first that it was a joke, not that it’s the kind of thing my father would joke about. Its just that at ...

For many in the world on 11th September 2001 their lives were changed forever! Even those of us who were not directly affected by the attacks on America will be affected if war breaks out. That day those people did not only attack America for what they believe in but they attacked every country in the world. Many of us have been asking ...

I dont really know how to start this opinion..I suppose at the beginning would be good, I was married once but now unfortunately am a weekend dad, this week I have my son from friday to sunday...My son has not really been himself now for about three weeks, and after having one of our father/son chats. I came to realise just how much the recent ...

It’s possible? No, no and no. When I was at park near my home and my mother said: “Two airs[..]” and “World Trade Center[..]” I said :”My God, It’s not possible”. People are dead by the thousand…Why? God made the world but made also wickedness, barbarism, terrorism… The news ...

Terrorism………..Two Friends of mine were Terrorists!! To be honest after 32 years of terrorism I feel I know better than most what terrorism is and what makes a terrorist tick. I will tell you about two people I knew and how life made one join the IRA and the other join the UVF…… I had just ...

It's simplistic, I know, but Clint Eastwood couldn't have said it better in his memorable line from the 1973 movie 'Magnum Force.' OK, the context is different, but as I ponder the words now, they appear to have been given special relevance by the recent escalation of terrorist activity by muslim fundamentalists. ...

This is something I have been quite shocked about in recent weeks. As a former member of a not very well liked religion, I always wanted and gave understanding and leeway and always defended the right for a person to believe what they want to believe and practice what they want to practice. In recent weeks, I have broken with my ...

Vietnam gave us the global village, The Gulf War was television combat. With the bombing of the World Trade Centre the goalposts have shifted once more. The truism that the world is a smaller place no longer holds - where Kuwait was so real you almost felt you were there, New York has been made strange by the event. We are looking to television to ...

It is not always who you think it is. And maybe we have already lost our freedom. A. is for Attacks on America. Eckehart Werthebach, who was president of Germany's domestic intelligence service (Werfassungsschutz), told AFP (news agency)that the 9/11 attacks were "state organised" and would have required the ...

This ones probably a bit too controversial for a 2nd op, but hey: What happened in New York and Washington is inexcusable; no cause can possibly justify such a massacre, I still really can’t believe that it has happened. But this has happened, and nothing we can do can change it, what matters now is what we, as civilized society, ...

Most of what we see now appears to have its roots in US and western foreign policy, the USA wanted puppet rulers around the world and also wanted to bully everyone into accepting the US way of life and the World Trade Organisation, which is raping the third world.. Saddam Hussein in Iraq was a US invention for a leader in the Middle East ...

I sat in stunned silence watching the recent terrorist attacks in America. I had friends in New York that day, I was due to fly to America the following day and could not believe what I was watching. My first emotion was one of worry for my friends (selfish maybe) then I felt for America but as soon as I saw the pictures of Palestinians dancing on ...

I might have been a little harsh on my “Attacks on America” reviews so i will try and explain my views more clearly here. I do feel for anyone who dies in a terrible way and we all saw how horrific it was. My point is that we are grieving for the pictures and the moment of catastrophic death rather than the actual people. A ...

A group of individuals sought to use fear and terror to control the masses. Nowadays the word is applied to many individuals actions which are perceived by MEDC's as being underhand and violent, however it is my belief that in most cases terrorism is really a response to the intervention of the United States and its bully boy buddies to ...
