Origins and Management
In the Middle Eastern culture, terrorism has been an effective way to cause pandemonium for the purpose of political manipulation. The Middle Eastern interests are not cohesive or powerful enough to directly or successfully advocate against the compelling interests of the United States. It cannot face an opponent the size of the U.S. in a military or political fashion so the solution is to resort to a lesser, but equally effective state of domination, by fear. The only way for them to achieve a victory is through random destruction of property or innocent, unsuspecting human victims. Terrorism has been an effective technique for the weak to have an effect over the powerful. From the Middle East's rage against America to the civil war in Ireland, terrorism has taken on many forms. For the purpose of this paper, the Middle Eastern angle and involvement of the United Nations will be discussed. WESTERN PERCEPTIONS OF THE MIDDLE EASTERN TERRORIST Most Americans see Middle Eastern terrorism as a Hollywood depiction. It is not surprising that the American view of the Middle Eastern terrorist is of a psychopathic Islamic without a conscious or reason. In American movies the terrorist is portrayed as a bomb strappe
To illustrate how the Middle Eastern terrorists operate, the World Trade Center bombing incident should be examined. From December 1992 through January 1993, Tehran, the city that controls both the AIM and the HzbAllah, tested the entire concept of a U.S. operation. This is how the test was done, "The former foreign minister, Ibrahim Yazdi, arrived on a secret mission with a "reconciliation initiative" at the same time that Tehran transmitted through back channels an explicit threat of some war and the initiative was rebuffed. On January 24, 1993, Mir Aimal Kansi, a Pakistani Iranian agent, shot several people at the gates of the CIA headquarters in Langley, showing America that Tehran was serious. From January 22-26, that same year, Tehran further tested the U.S. reaction system by way of phone calls from the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine, threatening to blow up a skyscraper in New York." Since there was no big reaction from Washington, Tehran decided that the terrorist operation should proceed as planned. After the bombing of the World Trade Center, Tehran planned to bomb many important places and skyscrapers in New York, planned to begin on July 4th. In the February of 1993, the World Trade Center was bombed in New York, killing six, over a thousand injured. In the March of 1995, American employees of the U.S. consulate in Karachi, Pakistan were killed in response to the arrest of the World Trade Center bombing suspect. That November, U.S. troops were attacked in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, killing nineteen of them. In the February and March of 1996, four suicide bombs killed sixty-five people, mostly Americans, in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. The HAMAS was responsible for three of the bombings, while it and the PIJ both said they were responsible for the fourth. That June, a U.S. Marine barracks was bombed in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, killing nineteen. In the October of 2000, an American Navy ship was attacked, killing six, and injuring thirty-six in the Middle Eastern port city of Aden, Yemen. There are two United Nations branches that could be well suited for the task of controlling Middle Eastern terrorism, the Security Council and the Economic and Social Council. The Security Council is responsible for maintaining peace and security, including peacekeeping actions and the use of "sanctions against aggressors ranging up to collective military force" . The Economic and Social Council function is to study and recommend ways of improving economic and social cooperation. These areas of expertise are both strongly related to a potential solution. The Security Council with the close cooperation of the Economic and Social Council can devise and carry out a dynamic solution to the problem of terrorism by Middle Eastern groups. Terrorism has been an issue in the Middle East for decades. In recent years, however, it has turned into a global crisis. Middle Eastern terrorist are striking outside their home region, attacking popular places and things, and killing whomever they want. In recent years, America has become a recipient of terrorist plans and attacks. The bombing of the World Trade Center in New York City in February 1993, yielded six people dead and over one thousand injured. This attack is considered the most significant to date because it happened in the United States, was highly visible, and involved so many American
