BLAST FROM THE PAST: HOW CAN WE FIGHT TERRORISM? PT 1.

 

Exactly what is TERRORISM?

-  What are the Goals behind it, and what are the Motivations?

-  Do the Methods Used by Terrorists Work, in Achieving the Desired Goals?

-  Are the Tactics of Terrorists Self- Defeating, always Doomed to Failure, or are They Practical, and Often lead to Success?

-  Should Terrorist Tactics be Answered in Kind?

The First Question that must be Addressed is simply, what is TERRORISM? 

FIRST, Terrorism is not an Ideology, it is a Means to an End. There are no Specific Set of Rules or Written Doctrine that Encompasses all Terrorist Groups and Individuals, and no Identifiable Code of Law or Morality that is Universal in Nature.

To Clarify, I will Define TERRORISM as : THE USE OF VIOLENCE, OR THREAT OF SUCH, TO ADVANCE THE DOCTRINE, IDEOLOGY, RULES, OR GOALS OF A GIVEN AND IDENTIFIABLE GROUP THAT IS NOT GENERALLY REGARDED AS A LEGITIMATE POLITICAL ENTITY, OR THE RECOGNIZED LEGAL AUTHORITY FOR A RESIDENT POPULATION OR GEOGRAPHICAL AREA.

HOWEVER, THE TARGETS OF SUCH VIOLENCE ARE NOT TRADITIONAL, SUCH AS MILITARY INSTALLATIONS AND GOVERNMENTAL OFFICES. CIVILIAN POPULATION CENTERS, BUSINESS AND CONSUMER DISTRICTS, AND PLACES OF RELIGIOUS WORSHIP BECOME THE PREFERRED AREAS TO CREATE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION.  THE DESIRE IS TO ESTABLISH A DISRUPTION IN NORMAL ACTIVITIES, AND A GENERAL SENSE OF PANIC AMONG THOSE WHO FREQUENT, OR LIVE IN THESE AREAS.

THE PURPOSE-  CREATE AN ATMOSPHERE THAT WILL CAUSE THE CIVILIAN/MERCHANT POPULATION TO  BECOME SO TRAUMATIZED AND FRIGHTENED, THAT IT FORCES THE POLITICAL/GOVERNMENTAL POWERS RESPONSIBLE FOR ADMINISTERING AND PROTECTING THESE AREAS, TO GRANT CONCESSIONS, ENTER INTO NEGOTIATIONS, OR AGREE TO THE STATED GOALS AND POLICIES OF THE TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. 

The Terrorist(s) are not Interested in the Traditional Types of Warfare and Combat.

WHY?  Because They Usually Lack the Numbers and Quality of Combatants and Armaments to Engage in Set Piece Battles.  So to Attack Military and Civilian Strong Points that are Well Protected would be Useless.  The Terrorists would be going up against Forces Designed and Trained to Meet, Engage, and Defeat Opposing Forces Conducting Normal Combat Operations. 

Is Terrorism a New Phenomena, or can we Find Examples in other Parts of Human History?  Is it an External Threat Alone, or is there an Internal Danger Just as Dangerous and Potentially Destructive.

LOOK FOR PART 2.

PRESIDENT BIDEN REMEMBERS WHAT "...PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE..." MEANS, EVEN IF THE GOP DOESN'T. PART 1.

PRESIDENT BIDEN STANDING UP TO THE ANTI-VACCINATION AND ANTI-MASKER CROWD IS A RESPONSIBILITY THAT OTHER PROGRESSIVES SHOULD BE FOLLOWING.

(OF COURSE, I MEAN THE U.S. SENATE, ESPECIALLY THOSE ELECTED PRIOR TO 2016. IF YOU NEED TO ASK WHY, I SUGGEST YOU READ MY ARTICLES ON BARACK OBAMAS SELECTION FOR THE SUPREME COURT, AND THE 2016 ELECTION RETURNS.)

One thing I have learned about Politicians and Public Figures a long time ago is their ability to pick and choose which parts of a subject to discuss and criticize publicly, (Parts they have knowledge of and agree with), and the parts they attempt to avoid at all cost, (Parts they do not understand or comprehend, and would make them look Ignorant, Intellectually Challenged or Morally Bankrupt if they attempted to justify their opinions.)

This is especially true when it comes to matters of Law, with the U.S. CONSTITUTION BEING A PRIMARY AND OFTEN SHAMEFUL TARGET. Even worse, it seems to be a Tactic used by LAW SCHOOL GRADUATES, AS WELL AS THOSE WITH NO FORMAL LEGAL TRAINING.

I have written and published a number of Articles on the CONSTITUTIONAL LAW, ESPECIALLY THE "BILL OF RIGHTS," on this Website. So if this SUBJECT MATTER APPEALS TO YOU, I RECOMMEND BROWSING OTHER AREAS OF THIS SITE FOR MORE INFORMATION.

However, for this article, I will be referencing THE PREAMBLE.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

As you can see, the PREAMBLE OF THE U.S. CONSTITUTION DOES NOT GO INTO SPECIFICS, BUT INSTEAD POINTS TO UNIVERSAL "GOODS" OR "NECESSITIES" THAT MUST BE ACCOMPLISHED.

IN ORDER TO FORM A MORE PERFECT UNION.

- ESTABLISH JUSTICE.

- INSURE DOMESTIC TRANQUILITY

- PROVIDE FOR THE COMMON DEFENSE.

- PROMOTE THE GENERAL WELFARE.

- SECURE THE BLESSINGS OF LIBERTY FOR

OURSELVES AND OUR POSTERITY.

What is most important. however, is what is said at the very beginning:

"WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES..."

Contrary to the Fascist Rhetoric we are often confronted with,

The CONSTITUTION is not just a collection of  Rules and Responsibilities

that protects the Individual from Abusive Government, BUT IS ALSO A SET

OF GUIDELINES THAT PROTECTS SOCIETY ITSELF FROM BEHAVIOR

BY AN INDIVIDUAL(S) THAT IS DESTRUCTIVE AND DETRIMENTAL TO

THE WELL-BEING AND BEST INTERESTS OF THE U.S. CITIZENRY AS A WHOLE.

TO PUT IT ANOTHER WAY: WHAT AN INDIVIDUAL CITIZEN MAY WANT OR DESIRE,

HAS TO BE WEIGHED AGAINST HOW THAT AFFECTS THE POPULACE AS A COLLECTION

OF HUMAN BEINGS LIVING UNDER THE SAME RULES AND CIRCUMSTANCES.
