Some may argue that we can expunge terrorism from the world if we strengthen our resources. Failure, it seems, is purely un-American. As an American, I will admit this never seems acceptable. Unfortunately, Americans will have to cease blaming them- selves for not halting every terrorist act. Over- all, terrorism is like a chronic disease, always there. The effects can be minimized, but there will always be flare-ups. Nevertheless, there is a necessity to gain an understanding of these instigators and their ideal motives. Terrorism has been around for many cen- turies all over the world. Their motives have been political, moral and sometimes just plain obscure. If you look at it in one way, the U.S. has had its own share of “terrorists.” Yes, AP AP U.S. Ambassador to Libya Christopher Stevens that’s right, American terrorists.
