Then, address three (3) of the following and craft a response, as a whole, for your selections:
- Explain if you think that global terrorism can be stopped.
- Analyze the responsibility of the United States today to be the world’s “policeman.”
- Assess if peace and stability in the Middle East are vital to U.S. economy and national security.
- If the United States withdrew its troops from the Middle East tomorrow, would the terrorist threat end. Why or why not?
- Assess if the use of military force is the only way to prevent terrorism. Are there other possible alternatives? Which strategy is best and why?
Solution
Terror activities pose a great threat to many nations in the world. The United States of America is one of the countries that is greatly threatened by these activities (Combs, 2017). In connection to this, I have chosen three terror attacks that affected the United States, and which will form part and parcel of this discussion post. The first terror attack will be the bombing of American Embassies based in Dar-es-Salaam and Nairobi in the year 1998..………….please follow the link below to purchase the solution at $5
