Terrorism is used to change a groups political or social objectives. "It is generally intended to intimidate or coerce a governments, individuals or groups to modify their behavior or policies (The Vice President's Task Force on Combating Terrorism, pg. 17)." Violence is its main ley in obtaining this change. Terrorist aim at the entire population. Which increases their chance of change. There id do much terrorism due to its unnecessary success. Terrorism has become out of hand. "Terrorism has become the accepted model for the modern use of force, with terrorists them selves often e

Ethical conflicts have been know to break up a group of terrorists. "A decision to turn to robbery was not always made lightly, and more then one group was to split up because of ethical conflicts among members (Connor, Michael, pg. 35)." Although this is great that these terrorist have broken up this still is not enough in our fight against terrorism. This means the majority of terrorists are still finding financial support. So our quest to end terrorism has not yet ended. A commonly misled thought is that terrorists are not intelligent when in fact they really are. "A popular IRA tactic is to hire attractive women to be picked up by off-duty soldiers. Then after an evenings drinking, the soldiers are invited back to one of their houses where then the ladies leave the room for a minute and are replaced by armed terrorists who kill the soldiers and take their identity cards and other passes (Connor, Michael, pg. 48)." Terrorists have many intelligent ways of performing their acts of terrorism. "When a terrorist group is frustrated in striking at what it considers its legitimate targets, it must find a means of effective action at a point of lesser resistance (Connor, Michael, pg. 43)." There is only one logical way a terrorist group would perform this act. "The terrorist might go after an important but not as highly protected person (Connor, Michael, pg. 47)." This allows them to still get their message across while creating a less dangerous environment to themselves. But we can't give in to all of this kind of terrorism, but we do need to know when we have no choice.

Some bombers grow up and are taught that what they are doing is making them come closer to God. "Haman bombers begin their education at puberty, where the boys learn that those who die for God go directly to Heaven, a place of lush greenery where every martyr gets 70 virgin brides (Miller, Kenneth, pg. 38)." But to kill yourself along with others will only put you further away from God. "Not everyone can be a suicide bomber, but those who make the grade are seen as stars, their faces captured on posters, key chains and collectors cards (Miller, Kenneth, pg. 38)." To be a suicide bomber is nothing to be proud of. What they have done is taken the power of God into their own hands. Suicide bombers should be viewed as criminals not stars.

Most terrorists grow up learning that in fact terrorism is the right thing to do. "Terrorist traditions are impressed upon young community members in many parts of the world(Connor, Michael, pg. 19)." Terrorism is the only way they are taught to deal with their problems. "The training of a terrorist effectively begins with his introduction to the cause he will work for, and this may conceivable occur during childhood (Connor, Michael, pg. 19)." Since these terrorists are taught at such an early age that they do not know what they are doing is wrong. If we can teach the children other ways to deal with their problems their will be less terrorists act to come in the future.

Terrorism is a strategy used because it has no rules. This makes it vary useful due to it having no restrictions at all. "Whereas nuclear weapons are means that can be shaped according to human will and strategies, terrorism rejects the foundation of all Western ethics: the conviction that even the noble cause has limits (McGurn, William, pg.94)." Since there is no rules there is no limit to how far a terrorist can take his act. To contradict them having no rules we need to put up limits on what we allow them to do. If they want to protest against something or
