Terrorism - Towards An Understanding :: essays research papers fc

I am in complete disagreement with Corrado and Cohens theory of governmental terrorism. I believe that political terrorism is committed by dominant, rough males in positions of cause, acting with other dominant, aggressive males for more power, money, or status, and without conceive to the spiritual nature of human kind. I believe that dividing political terrorism into state or anti state terrorism, does not get to the substructure cause of terrorism. To uncover the true cause of terrorism, I believe involves identifying cause and personalities of those "terrorizing". In most cases it is dominant, aggressive males who hold positions of power in any the political, economic, or military arenas, and who manipulate events to suite themselves, e.g., Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, and in more new-made times, Slobodon Milosovic. Those that fight against dominance and aggression, I believe should be called revolutionaries. For example, the Irish republican Army.    &n bsp The North of Ireland harboured a protestant streak of dominant, aggressive males, who in set out to hang on to power, unleashed the horrific events of Bloody Sunday, and many other uncalled for acts of aggression. These acts where sanction by politicians, in twain the North of Ireland and England, who acted in conjunction with both the Royal Ulster Constabulary, and the British Army. On Bloody Sunday, the British soldiers deliberately aimed and killed teenage men, they believed most likely to be members of the Irish Republican Army, at the peaceful, albeit illegal, demonstration. "...all the departed where men, and nine of them were under the age of 25." It was an effort to stop what has almost suffer to pass. A fair assembly of politicians, who represent all layers and fabrics of the society. The event is liquid under review. The actions of the Irish Republican Army has eventually destroyed the positions of power that the dominant, aggressive males abused. Bu t I do not believe that we should pit those who fought for a better life as terrorists. People who put their lives on the line for true justice, I believe should be referred to as a Revolutionaries.     We are exposed to new conflicts now, almost on a fooling basis, and no two situations are ever identical. This makes the breakdown of a typology highly difficult. The typology which defines "political terrorism", according to Corrado and Cohen, has eleven different categories, in ramble to encompass all of the different situations. These typologies may be useful in a security setting, but in order to get to the nooky of the problem, I believe that rather than complicating the issue with many meanings, it should instead be simplified and attributed to one of two choices.
