	The Scorecard: We're winning the war against terror
		They claim that one of the reasons President Bush is planning to invade Iraq is because the current war against terrorism is not going as well as planned.
		In this war, our forces have been tasked with rooting out a motley collection of rats from one end of the globe to the next: far more difficult than prosecuting a campaign against a uniformed, disciplined enemy in the open.
		This war was also initiated after a surprise attack on American soil, one that directly targeted civilian men, women, and children — not soldiers or sailors — and produced a greater number of American casualties than Pearl Harbor.

	AlterNet: 9/11: One Year Later: The Anti-War Movement's Challenge
		John Tirman writes that the costs have been enormously expensive on many fronts, but the final dangerous outcome of the "war on terrorism" is the ascending chance of a war against Iraq.
		But by implying that nothing should be done, peace signs and "no war!" posters run counter to the sensibilities of nearly everyone, alienating what are in fact oftentimes potential allies.
		Public agitators now have U.S. attacks to decry, but so far they've failed to answer the most obvious question attached to criticisms of the War on Terrorism: "Well, what, then?" Many people, including many Pentagon generals, doubt that full-scale military action is the best way to succeed.

	The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Report says U.S. allies aided al-Qaida
		The financial aid to the Taliban and other assistance by two of the most important U.S. allies in the U.S.-declared war on terrorism date at least to 1996 and appear to have helped immunize them from al-Qaida attacks within their own borders until long after the 2001 strikes, those officials said in interviews.
		And it could raise additional questions about the United States' current alliances with Pakistan and Saudi Arabia in the war on terrorism, particularly because many U.S. officials believe both governments have been slow to purge their ranks of pro-al-Qaida, pro-Taliban elements.
		WASHINGTON — The governments of Pakistan and Saudi Arabia helped set the stage for the Sept. 11 attacks by cutting deals with the Taliban and Osama bin Laden that allowed his al-Qaida terror network to flourish, according to several senior members of the Sept. 11 commission and U.S. counter-terrorism officials.

		The liberal E. Dionne, Jr., writes that "Progressives who believe in justice should be able to back war on terror" (Philadelphia Inquirer, Sept. 29, 2001).
		During the Cold War the United States supported a string of terror states, from the immediate post-World War backing given Thailand dictator Phibun Songkhram, "the first pro-Axis dictator to regain power after the war," to its support of Suharto, Marcos, Mobutu, Diem, Duvalier, Trujillo, Somoza, and a string of murderous military regimes in Latin America.

	frontline: target america: the evolution of islamic terrorism - an overview
		It should be noted that the American policy of listing state sponsors was heavily politicized, and did not include several countries -- both allies and opponents of Washington -- that, under U.S. government definitions, were guilty of supporting or using terrorism.
		The disintegration of post-Cold War states, and the Cold War legacy of a world awash in advanced conventional weapons and know-how, has assisted the proliferation of terrorism worldwide.
		The growth of these nationalist and revolutionary movements, along with their view that terrorism could be effective in reaching political goals, generated the first phase of modern international terrorism.

	U.N. Treaties and Conferences Will Not Stop Terrorism
		If the war on terrorism is to be won, America and its allies must coordinate their anti-terrorism policies and present a united front in their willingness to fight terrorism on every level.
		While international treaties are a necessary component of the war on terrorism, they cannot substitute for clear policy objectives--such as the recent collaborative international efforts to police and seize financial resources of terrorist groups--backed by a willingness to use military force to support those policy objectives.
		The bottom line is that in the war on terrorism, international treaties and conventions have value only as a complement to a clearly defined policy that is backed by a firm willingness to fight terrorism with armed force.

	The New American - Moscow-Beijing Terror Axis - February 25, 2002
		In his January 29th State of the Union address, President Bush scored Iran, Iraq, and North Korea as terrorist states, but he tossed rhetorical bouquets to our supposed allies in the war against terrorism — Russia and China — who are providing these terror regimes with the means to attack us.
		Russia and China are now abandoning the Cold War-era ruse of a "Sino-Soviet split," and cooperate openly on many endeavors — including sponsorship of terrorism.
		On November 5, 2001, in his first interview with an American journalist since the September 11th terrorist attacks, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke to Barbara Walters about terrorism, Afghanistan, and Russian-U.S. cooperation.

	Senator Feinstein Calls Attacks on New York City and Pentagon "Declaration of War" on U.S.
		I consider what happened in New York and at the Pentagon to be a declaration of war against the United States, and I believe that we must respond accordingly, in a well-considered military way.
		Yesterday firmly establishes, in my mind, that the major threat and the number one national security priority facing the United States is the asymmetrical attack, the unconventional and unpredictable horrific act of terrorism.
		It is critical also that America lead an international effort that makes clear to all nations that countenance terrorism, that harbor terrorists, that aid and abet their actions are enemies of the United States.

	Algerian War of Independence biography .ms
		The Algerian War of Independence (1954–62) was a period of guerrilla strikes, maquis fighting, terrorism against civilians on both sides, and riots between the French army and colonists in Algeria and the FLN ((Front de Libération Nationale) and other pro-independence Algerians.
		France's seeming intransigence in settling a colonial war that tied down half the manpower of its armed forces was also a source of concern to its NATO allies.
		Although the French government of the time considered all Algerian violence, including violence against the French military, to be crimes or terrorism, some French people, such as former anti-Nazi guerrilla and lawyer Jacques Verges have compared French resistance to Nazi German occupation to Algerian resistance to French occupation.

	ASALA: Terrorism as a Political Issue
		Furthermore, during the mid-1970’s the militant milieu surrounding the civil war in Lebanon inspired and stimulated young Armenians to resort to political terrorism.
		Asala’s terrorism had arguably had a greater ideological content and had been oriented towards discrediting the official Turkish thesis about the Armenian Genocide and persuading the international public opinion that the Turkish State has no right to rule over Turkish Armenia.
		The roots of Asala can be traced in the accumulation of frustration resulted from the international community’s lack of interest in the Armenian genocide committed by the Turks in the course of World war I, and a tendency among western pro-Turkish scholars to deny the genocide as a historical fact.

		Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that post-Soviet Russia still is one of the world's most potent nuclear powers.

	Kroc Institute : Policy Brief #8 - Kashmir and the "War on Terrorism"
		Kashmir is one of the conflicts implicated in the current "war" of the United States and its allies against certain forms of radical Islam.
		Kashmir has long been assessed as a potential flashpoint for a major regional war, and in the current heightened circumstances it becomes even more critical that this dispute be resolved.
		Kashmir is but one of an array of conflicts that can best be addressed now, as part of a wider attempt of the United States and other Western countries to rise to the challenge of making a safer world.

	Terrorism: Q & A Iraq
		After the war, the U.N. Security Council maintained economic sanctions on Iraq; established two “no-fly” zones patrolled by U.S. and British planes to protect Kurds in the north and Shiites in the south; and imposed international weapons inspections to prevent Saddam from rebuilding his arsenals of weapons of mass destruction.
		The question of Iraq’s link to terrorism grew more urgent with Saddam’s suspected determination to develop weapons of mass destruction, which Bush administration officials feared he might share with terrorists who could launch devastating attacks against the United States.
		Indeed, when Iraq launched a long, brutal war against Iran in 1980, the Reagan administration provided Saddam’s regime with arms, funds, and support.

	Trotter Group Meets with Condoleezza Rice - Transcript
		And, yet, you have a coalition of 90 countries that are involved in the war on terrorism in one way or another, because this is the war that's being fought on a lot of fronts.
		The reason that he can do it, and the reason that he can ask the American people to make those sacrifices, if necessary, is that there is a grave threat to American security, to the security of our friends and allies, and to our way of life.
		The President, despite some reservations about some of the issues about separation of powers, supported the Sudan Peace Act, which puts even more pressure on Khartoum to behave in a way that would be consistent with bringing a lasting peace to Sudan.

	Military history of the United States
		The War on terrorism is a global effort by the governments of several countries (primarily the United States and its principal allies) to neutralize international groups it deems as "terrorist" (primarily radical Islamist terrorist groups, including al-Qaida) and ensure that "rogue nations" no longer support terrorist activities.
		Most recently, the current war in Iraq has been tied to the "War on terrorism" by the Bush administration, which has claimed that Saddam Hussein of Iraq was giving safe haven to and supporting terrorist groups.
		The war the colonists called the "French and Indian War," which was inadvertently started in the backwoods of Pennsylvania by a young Virginian named George Washington, had a significant impact on the emergence of the American Revolution.
