Terrorism

All terrorist acts involve the threat of violence. These violent acts are usually committed by nongovernmental groups or individuals who are either part of or officially serving in the military, law enforcement agencies, intelligence agencies, or other governmental agencies of an established nation. Terrorists attempt not only to create panic but also to weaken confidence in the government and the political leadership of the target country. Terrorism has occurred throughout history and shall never be stopped from coming. Today, terrorist targets are not just small towns or societies, they attack countries.

One example is the 9/11 incident were Al-Qaeda initiated series of suicide attacks. Hijackers intentionally crashed two airplanes into the twin towers of the world trade center which is located in New York City. That incident caused both buildings to collapse and killed everyone on board and almost anyone that is on the building. The hijackers crashed the third airplane into the Pentagon. The fourth plane crashed into a field near Shanksville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania, after some of its passengers and flight crew attempted to retake control of the plane, which the hijackers had redirected toward Washington, D.C. There are no known survivors from any of the flights.

Locally, We also have terrorist groups that performs violent attacks within the country. That group is the Moro Islamic Liberation Front or the MILF. They want the government to just give them their region(Mindanao) and have their own government. But, the government does not want to grant their request because of their own reasons.

Some solutions had been made but is not enough to stop terrorists. Locally, I think the problem will be solved if the government would just give them Mindanao. If we are separated from Mindanao, we can assure that terrorist acts in our country will start to decrease. Internationally, we should just respect each others culture or beliefs. Most importantly, mind our own business so we can get rid conflicts with other countries.
