The Importance Of Military Force

Chinese civilians and disarmed combatants were killed left and right (Document O). Eventually, the lead perpetrators were prosecuted and received the proper punishments. Japan led numerous attacks of extreme brutality on countries near and far. America was tuning into the disgust of the Japanese through propaganda.

Soon, terrorists with connections to Libya also began to attack Americans which caused relationship between Americans and Libya to deteriorate. As a result, America decided to down 2 Libyan warplanes in a military encounter with the US Navy. 200 US aircrafts dropped 60 tons of bombs on Libyan targets which caused 37 deaths and this caused the Palestinian group in Libya to kill 3 American hostages. Iran Contra Affair was another foreign policy under Reagan’s leadership. When Iran and Iraq were involved in a war, Reagan decided to sell US antitank and antiaircraft to Iran’s government since they helped released Americans captured by another terrorist group.

Thesis 2: Musical artist like Marilyn Manson are used as a scapegoat by the people, who blame him for everything from suicides to rebellion, but this simple distracts the public from the real cause of these issues. Response: I agree with this statement because it 's too easy for people to blame a celebrity for all of society 's problems. What we should really be doing is looking at how to solve the problems and not who should be to blame. Thesis 3: People who consider themselves second amendment supporters are simple refusing to accept that the laws have to change as society changes.

Introduction Prior to the Rwandan genocide, the Rwandan population consisted of some eight million people. In 1992, beginning the second week of April, some 800,000 ethnic Tutsi and moderate Hutu were killed – the majority murdered by civilian militias with the support of government forces. Over the next three months, Rwandans would experience the most accelerated, deliberate human cleansing of known history.

There were an estimated 200,000 people who were killed between 1992-1995 in a genocide commited by the Serbs against the Muslims, and Croats in Bosnia. On top of this, another 2 million Bosnians were displaced from their homes and placed in dangerous environments. Three main groups fought each other within the country, Bosnian Muslims, Serbs, and also the Croats. This was a horrible and important genocide that killed thousands of people between 1992-1995. Like the Nazi’s cleansing Europe of it’s Jews, the Serbs aim was the ethnic cleansing of any Muslims or Croatian presence in Serbian territory.

Theses jews would be forced into the gas chambers to be killed in world war 2.

Claim #3: The Trump Administration recently made a justifiable decision to engage in resistance against Syria because the Syrian government malevolently abused its power directly on its own citizens. Support #3, 1: The United States responded to the Syrian government killing dozens of their own citizens with a chemical weapons attack by launching a military strike on a Syrian government air base (Starr and Diamond). Support #3, 2: As a part of the retaliation, President Donald Trump ordered for the US warships to launch 59 Tomahawk cruise missiles at the air base where the warplanes originally delivered the chemical attacks on Syrian citizens (Starr and Diamond). Support #3, 3: Paradoxically, not only did Syria go against its own ban on chemical weapons, but it also violated its obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention which outlawed the production, stockpiling, and use of chemical weapons (Starr and Diamond). Analysis #3: The Trump Administration is worthy to be praised for their actions because they took a brave action by resisting against the Syrian government.

Causes of the Cambodian Genocide The Cambodian genocide took place from 1975 to 1979; it is estimated that some two million Cambodians were systematically murdered by the Khmer Rouge and its followers (Power 90). In Alexander Hinton’s article, “A Head for an Eye” he recounts in details the experience of Gen, a survivor of the Cambodian Genocide. After the Lon Nol government was overthrown by the Khmer Rouge, the Communists began their witch-hunt in an attempt to identify and kill anyone who was associated with the former regime, as well as the educated, the Vietnamese, the Muslim Cham, the Buddhist monks, and other “bourgeois elements” (Power 101). During the investigation, it was revealed that Gen’s father was a teacher–this fact alone was

Even more Cubans were killed by state forces when they tried to flee the country, which occurred during the 1980 Canimar River Massacre and the Tugboat Massacre of 1994.” Any person who kills others for his/her benefit is not a good person. “Fidel Castro’s 49-year reign was characterized by a ruthless suppression of freedom of expression”. So Castro ultimately left a legacy of failure. Castro held his power not by popular demand but through brutal dictatorship.

Prime example of this is the Purging of Stalin that saw more than one million citizens of the Soviet Union executed with a bullet to the head and the killing of over 800.000 people by order of Mao Zedong after the Communist Party's victory in 1949. Alas the public was not unmoved by the sheer number of people that saw an swift and unjust death and various organizations were formed that had the abolition of the capital punishment as their primary goal in their agendas. Following the change from authoritarianism to democracy, abolition was adopted due to political change. Among the nation-states of the globe, the majority has abolished the death penalty as a form of retribution.

Could you picture around 6 million people? Now how would you feel if all of them were killed right now? All of them being killed because they were African American or they were Mexican. The Holocaust was when the Nazi’s led by Adolf Hitler persecuted, tortured, and killed people just because they were Jewish. People were separated from their families and gassed or burned just to keep up with how many people were coming into the camp, or just to amuse themselves.

Osama bin Laden and Al Queda performed 62 attacks between 1962 and 2005. The first attack was on December 29, 1962 and while only two tourists were killed, it was the beginning of a lifetime of terror. Their last attack was on August 19, 2005, when two rockets were fired into an Israeli port killing one man. Over the course of the attacks, approximately 10,000 innocent men, women, and children were killed.

Eleven million. Eleven million innEleven million. Eleven million innocent lives, mercilessly taken away in the blink of an eye. When most people think about the Holocaust, their thoughts are automatically directed to the six million Jews who were murdered. While it is true that Jewish people were the primary victims, several multiple other groups faced persecution based on their race, sexuality, beliefs, and handicaps – five million non-Jewish people were killed (Ridley, 2015).

The article I selected is a hard and harrowing story to hear about Gregory Green, who killed his two stepchildren (Chadney and Kara Allen) in front of the mother, two biological children by asphyxiation (Kara and Kaleigh Green), and tortured his wife (Faith Green). I chose this story, because I continue to see this in the news of parents or a parent killing their children. I cannot begin to fathom the numerous mental health issues that affects these parents. However, I know that Gregory Green was charged in 1991 and sentenced to prison for murdering his pregnant wife and was released on early parole after 16 years in prison.

In the early 1980s a religious commune in the state of Oregon used salmonella to sicken nearly 750 people in the surrounding area (Davisson 2003, 1) (Hilow, 1995). Their actions are a form of CBRN deployment and could be considered terrorist attacks on a civilian population. Terrorist attacks use violence as a form of political activism; which is precisely what the perpetrators attempted to do in 1984. The CBRN agents used by the religious group could be deployed today against the American population and still provide a credible threat to the general population. Salmonella is a form of bacteria that causes food poisoning type symptoms in humans and animals.
