Pax Nortona - A Blog by Joel Sax » Blog Archive » Fighting for America Andrea See the Serial Deviant shared the retort of Indian writer and intellectual Arundhati Roy who has been called “anti-American” for her criticisms of the war on terrorism: Does it mean you don’t admire the hundreds of thousands of American citizens who marched against nuclear weapons, or the thousands of war resisters who forced their government to withdraw from Vietnam? This sly conflation of America’s music, literature, the breathtaking physical beauty of the land, the ordinary pleasures of ordinary people with criticism of the US government’s foreign policy is a deliberate and extremely effective strategy. paxnortona.notfrisco2.com /?p=293   (474 words)

Terrorism - dKosopedia Some people accuse Israel of engaging in state sponsored terrorism towards the Palestinians in this sense of the word -- claiming that it is wantonly harming innocents for no direct military purpose to achieve its political ends. This criterion excludes conventional warfare in accordance with the laws of war, attacks on military targets (such as the bombing of the USS Cole,) and guerilla warfare and revolution when limited to military targets. Terrorism is the application of violence or threats of violence against civilians or civilian infrastructure to achieve political, religious, or social goals. www.dkosopedia.com /index.php/Terrorism   (3547 words)

Reason: The Forever War: How long can an emergency last? Likewise, U.S. forces fought what looked like a war in Afghanistan, with planes bombing targets, organized groups of men shooting at each other, and civilians suffering "collateral damage." But after the Taliban were defeated and a new government was installed, this literal phase of the war on terrorism seemed to be petering out. But the open-ended nature of the struggle against it means that the war on terrorism, unlike conventional wars, cannot be viewed as a passing emergency. Although it promises moral clarity, the language of war obscures the issues at stake in the debate about how a free society should respond to terrorism. reason.com /0210/fe.js.the.shtml   (976 words)

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Terrorism Terrorism is an anxiety-inspiring method of repeated violent action, employed by (semi-) clandestine individual, group or state actors, for idiosyncratic, criminal or political reasons, whereby — in contrast to assassination — the direct targets of violence are not the main targets. Similarly, the Christian warriors of the Crusades pursued political aims by means of genocidal assaults on Muslim civilian populations. Regardless, the perpetually unresolved argument of whether the use of terrorism is a valid form of warfare can be summed up by the infamous quote that "one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter," although as Furedi notes: "Anybody can call anybody a terrorist... www.reference.com /browse/wiki/Terrorism   (3727 words)

Definition of terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Terrorism is an anxiety-inspiring method of repeated violent action, employed by (semi-) clandestine individual, group or state actors, for idiosyncratic, criminal or political reasons, whereby — in contrast to assassination— the direct targets of violence are not the main targets. UN short legal definition, also proposed by A.P. Schmid: an act of terrorism is the "peacetime equivalent of a war crime." [3] The Oxford English Dictionary defines terrorism as "a policy intended to strike with terror those against whom it is adopted; the employment of methods of intimidation; the fact of terrorising or condition of being terrorised." en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Definition_of_terrorism   (1375 words)

The Afghan Air War A clandestine air war used unmanned vehicles, satellites, and other intelligence sources to track time-sensitive targets--of which the most tempting and critical were the Taliban and al Qaeda officials on the campaign's most-wanted list. The coalition put together for the war on terrorism did not have the military grandeur that comes with deployment of tanks and fighters in the desert. Air strikes to eliminate air defenses and other key targets were a logical first step, given the success of airpower in the conflicts of the 1990s. www.afa.org /media/reports/afghanbook   (13403 words)

The Shadow War - Popular Science The tragic events of September 11 represent such an obvious failure of existing intelligence networks and airport security that many technologies once considered experimental or extravagant may now move onto center stage in the war against terrorism. The United States is in a war unlike any it has fought before, a so-called asymmetric war in which the enemy avoids head-to-head confrontation with the nation's strengths, and targets its vulnerabilities. The war against terrorism will be fought not just on faraway battlefields, but also at home and in cyberspace. www.popsci.com /popsci/science/190d359b9fa84010vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd.html   (392 words)

Russia's language of terror in Chechnya -DAWN - International; 12 December, 2004 Though initiated by Moscow as a war against terrorism, this campaign has only encouraged the evolution and spread of massive violence. Second, neither Al Qaeda nor any other organization that is part of the global jihad has ever conducted any attacks abroad against Russian officials, official buildings or ordinary Russian citizens, even though these would seem to be soft targets, particularly in the Middle East. The scale of civilian casualties far exceeds the Serbian war against Kosovo and is comparable to the level of killing in Bosnia, yet it is largely ignored by the international community. www.dawn.com /2004/12/12/int12.htm   (885 words)

AlterNet: Halliburton Makes a Killing on Iraq War Soon after the contract was signed, Incirlik provided a major staging post for thousands of sorties flown against Iraq and occupied Kuwait during the Gulf war in January 1991 dropping over 3,000 tons of bombs on military and civilian targets. Still ongoing is the first LOGCAP contract in the "war on terrorism," which began in June 2002, when Brown and Root was awarded a $22 million deal to run support services at Camp Stronghold Freedom, located at the Khanabad air base in central Uzbekistan. Khanabade is one of the main US bases in the Afghanistan war that houses some 1,000 US soldiers from the Green Berets and the 10th Mountain Division. www.alternet.org /story/15445   (1662 words)

Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Terrorism Terrorism is an anxiety-inspiring method of repeated violent action, employed by (semi-) clandestine individual, group or state actors, for idiosyncratic, criminal or political reasons, whereby — in contrast to assassination — the direct targets of violence are not the main targets. The violence committed by state combatants (see state terrorism) is also considered more acceptable than that of the 'terrorist,' who by definition refuses to follow the established laws of war, and hence cannot share in the acceptance given to establishment violence. Guerrilla warfare is sometimes confused with terrorism, in that a relatively small force attempts to achieve large goals by using organized acts of directed violence against a larger force. www.reference.com /browse/wiki/Terrorism   (3727 words)

Terrorism? or, An Act of War? These acts are not considered to be acts of "terrorism", for they occurred during the course of a war. And, it must be war, since even the commanding general at the Justice Department in Washington, D.C. never described the acts of the enemy as terrorism. So, perhaps, war (since declarations have become a thing of the past) can best be determined by the fact that no trials are held to determine justice, or injustice, for the deaths that are a consequence of hostile action. www.outpost-of-freedom.com /okc0511.htm   (1431 words)

The Christian Science Monitor csmonitor.com Many Palestinian militants consider Israeli settlers - those who have built communities on land seized in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war - to be legitimate targets of attack because they are the leading edge of Israeli occupation and enjoy the protection of the Israeli military. Abu Shanab says that Hamas's operations are a reaction to Israel's military-enforced occupation of Palestinian lands, its retaliatory strikes against Palestinian targets, its strategy of assassinating Palestinian militants, and the "closures" of towns and villages that choke off Palestinian economic life. After 10 months of strife, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is increasingly defined by "terrorism" - both the act and the epithet. www.csmonitor.com /cgi-bin/getasciiarchive?script/2001/07/31/p1s3.txt   (2257 words)

Terrorism against Israel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the 1967 Six-Day War, Israel captured the West Bank and Gaza Strip, territories on which more than a million Palestinians lived, many of them refugees of the war of 1948. During Israel's recent military operations begun in the late spring of 2003 into the West Bank (including the town of Jenin) the Israeli government has obtained and published thousands of pages of internal Palestinian Authority documents which demonstrate that the PA has been covertly funding and directing, many of the suicide bombings. Within months, Israel was again the target of a wave of attacks (at that time mainly consisting of, but not limited to bombings), that originated either in the Palestinian population within the occupied territories, or in Jordan, which was no longer able to contain them. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Terrorism_against_Israel   (2388 words)

Leading the Way: Post 9/11 Student Activism Since the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, students at college campuses in the United States have been at the forefront of activism and public discourse concerning what is often called the U.S. government's war on terrorism. In 2002, the First Monday Project focuses on civil liberties and the U.S. War on Terrorism. On this edition of Making Contact, we take a look at an emerging anti-war movement and some of the challenges students face in this post 9/11 era. www.radioproject.org /archive/2002/3802.html   (192 words)

Political terrorism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Political terrorism is a form of terrorism (a tactic of violence that targets civilians) used to influence socio-political events so that gains occur that might not have otherwise happened by peaceful means or by conventional warfare. Terrorism is not a single random act, nor it is number of interspersed violent acts; it is a sustained, organized policy of terror that one group of some sort wages on another, usually more powerful, group. Sub-revolutionary terrorism is violence that is motivated by political and social concerns other than the ouster of a government, such as for land reforms, for desired legislation, or simply in vengeance for governmental intervention into a particular way of life. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Political_terrorism   (2538 words)

Asymmetric War :: KanglaOnline ~ Your Gateway In the case of the 9/11 attacks the targets were civilians and we do not hesitate to call them as acts of terrorism, but in yesterday’s incident, the target was clearly military, and hence the tactics of war needs to be under a different category. It is a new kind of warfare, but inevitable all the same, the gap in military hardware and technology being too wide to be bridged as we have been witnessing in the past one week on our TV sets, thanks to the “embedded” journalists in the various units of the invading armies. It is time the greater section of the American public, which as of today are standing solidly behind their President’s war logic, to reflect on some of the recent turns of events. www.kanglaonline.com /index.php?template=headline&newsid=385&typeid=0   (2538 words)
