Putting An
End To Terrorism And It’s Effects
It seems like as the days pass more
and more people in the middle east are being terrorized an killed because of
terrorist insurgent groups. Recently in
Kabul, Afghanistan at least 20 people were killed on Thursday, November 08,
2012, by insurgent attacks. A spokesperson for the governor of Helman Province,
Abdul Zirak, describes the most vicious attack as devastating, “The worst
attack was the explosion of a roadside bomb as a pickup truck packed with
civilians passed by, killing 10 people, including five women and a child.” The
attack took place in a former Taliban stronghold, the Qala district in Helmand.
The United States Marines never completely brought this area under control
because of their withdrawal. When the U.S. Marines withdrew they left the
Afghanistan troops in charge of the area.
And even thought the U.S. attacks brought the violence level down,
suicide attacks still remained a huge threat for the people within the city of
Kandahar.
I found this article very
interesting. It seems like the “growing trend” over in the Middle East is the
grand disposition of terrorism. Another lesson learned today is to completely put
an end to terrorist wherever they may be. I believe the United States Marines
did a great job of bringing down the violence. With the understanding that they
(U.S. Marines) would eventually leave, I believe that the Afghanistan troops should
have continued the job in the same fashion or escalated the job until it completely
deterred these terrorist from doing anything. The relationship of the attack
and location is too much of a coincidence for it not to be intricately related.
