of the terrorist attacks on American soil.
Since the end of the Cold War, the United States has lacked a major.
rival in world power. The United States has always assumed the position of.
the world police. In order for this policing to be successful, she needs.
criminals to seek out and bring to justice. After the end of the USSR, the.
United States has not been able to exercise its police authority to a large.
extent. Therefore, the western world power focuses on terrorism. The.
United States seems to be fighting a cause that is either diminishing or is.
no longer very active. The height of terrorism and terrorist attacks were.
in the 1970's and 1980's. Recently, Adam Nagourney of the New York Times.
reported that terrorist attacks are at their lowest point of the decade.
(B6). Now, the United States provokes a dying international crime and.
gives terrorist groups worldwide a reason for re-birth. Also, the United.
States is indirectly involved in the creation of terrorists. According to.
the Director of Central Intelligence, the Afghani entre preneur, known as.
Osama Bin Laden, is accused of constructing, training, and actively.
exercising a terrorist group. This terrorist leader made his fortune by.
building army bases for the United States in Saudi Arabia. His group of.
terrorists, which consists mostly of Afghani citizens, has been noted for.
their possession of state of the art firearms and their military expertise.
However, this terrorist group was trained and supplied by the Central.
Intelligence Agency of the United States during the Russian crisis. The.
Afghani's were willing to fight and the United States did not mind using.
this valuable resource to their advantage. After the end of the crisis,.
the CIA did not retrieve their weaponry and the trained soldiers were left.
with very new technology at their disposal. Moreover, in the lack of a.
major opposing force, the United States exercises its power unjustly over.
