War on Terror and National Security

Terrorism can be defined as "a subspecies of revolutionary violence" (Lodge, 1981, p. 1). The term terrorism was introduced during the French Revolution in 1789. Initially, this term was used to explain the violence that the French government imposed on "imposing a radical new order to passive citizens" (Roberts, 2002). Today, terrorism has a deeper meaning and has a deep connection with politics.

I can illustrate two illustrations extracted from Europe and our background. The war against terrorism, which is an abstraction, is conceptualized in national security terms, demanding that "terrorism" be converted into a national category and then a war against the nation state. Our current approach will bring instability and danger, not safety.

Terrorism and "war on terror" may be the best examples of the new war era. Since September 11, 2001 and the US invasion of Iraq, the "war on terror" has always been an exaggerated expression at the national and international stages. Till today, attacks and operations are taking place in Iraq and Afghanistan, which were devastated in war, and in other countries of the Middle East. During President Obama's term, the clear "UAV" strategy adopted by the US government is the subject feature of its "war on terror", which usually causes high-level civilian casualties and effects I did not fight with the jihadist in a matter of course. During President Obama 's presidential inauguration, an American - led coalition for Islamic states was established, attacking jihads with tens of thousands of bombs, mainly in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan.

In 2013, the good and the bad guys seemed to put themselves in a neat and distinguishable group. "War on terror" still dominates national security strategies and arguments. It needs thousands of ordinary citizens to be suspected and needs to be monitored by information agencies that were mainly involved with state officials (the Soviet Union and its ally) throughout the Cold War era. Intent New enemies are absurd, extremists, enthusiastic, and it may be everywhere. However, the Internet gives the information community the ability to be behind the curtains of almost every living room in the United States, even if it is not a legal right.
