No, ISIS does not serve the six purposes of government. It does not promote the general welfare, because that would imply that it were a servant to its citizens, but it is not because it does not provide services, such as schools or air filtration, to benefit all or most of its people. Also, they do not work to form a more perfect union, because it does not try to promote linking its people or unify them. Justice is not established because many of its people are mistreated, and justice has come to mean the law is reasonable and fair. To “insure domestic tranquility” is focused on maintaining law and order within its land.
Proponents seeking Cabinet-level status for the Veterans Administration had long stressed that the VA was the largest independent federal agency in terms of budget and was second only to the Defense Department in the number of employees. Because one-third of the U.S. population was eligible for veterans benefits, proponents argued, a cabinet secretary having direct access to the president should represent the agency responsible. President Reagan signed legislation in 1988 to elevate VA to Cabinet status and, on March 15, 1989, the Veterans Administration became the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Persian Gulf War, which began in August 1990 as Operation Desert Shield and became Operation Desert Storm in January 1991, created a new climate
I totally agree with you! After 9/11, which I might add was the most tragic event ever in the U.S, had to make something in order to counter-attack this horrible terrorist attack. Their solution is to seek any terrorist from within. I mean sure, it’s a great idea as you think about it but there are negatives and they are HUGE!
The U.S. must cooperate with the Shi’ite Iraqi government to rebuild its military and uproot ISIS from Iraqi cities. While doing so they must be outspoken about treating Sunnis fairly so as to reduce ISIS recruiting power. In Syria ,where the majority of ISIS fighters are located, strengthening the Free Syrian Army (FSA) is the best way to push back against ISIS as well as Assad (Terrill 22). The Assad Regime of Syria “has committed the crimes against humanity of extermination, murder, rape or other forms of sexual violence, torture, imprisonment, enforced disappearance and other inhuman acts” (Ware). Aiding the Free Syrian Army will not only stop ISIS gains but also remove the repressive leader of Syria.
Thus investing on the intelligence unit would be more appropriate. In case of the ISIS would execute their missions base on the secret complex strategies that they had planned, it is obviously that we cannot fight back by any measure involves violence. Thus, thirdly, I disagree with this part of Robert Kagan’s words “…there could be bloodshed and violence, even mass killing in Syria and Libya and elsewhere, and some instability in Iraq- but the fighting, and its affected, and America`s own interests would not be directly threatened so long as good intelligence and drone strikes prevented terrorist attacks on U.S” (Kagan). Mass killing and blood shed will lead to a huge loss of innocent human beings and properties that in most cases the target people are not even can be found afterward. It is nothing different than the horrible things the ISIS had done to people.
Chiefly, the ISIS threats against the Middle-East is indistinguishable to the threats made to Cuba by Spain on April 25, 1898. The Middle-Eastern countries are threatened by the ISIS military and weaponry forces. Isil or “Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant” formed in 1999 and didn’t expose themselves until 2014, starting with beheadings of
When should military force be justified? Military forced should be justified when they start using the military on their own nation or on their unarmed people living there. In some cases they attack town with unarmed people and terrorists. Now if there were more terrorists than unarmed people and the threat was to big then it would have been ok. Now a days that would be a war crime so the problem isn’t that big, but there are still the nations that do it.
Today it seems like there always some technological improvements such as mobile devices, which seems like it can make anyone's tasks get done more quickly and efficiently. Terrorist network cells embedded around the world today can accomplish their task of terrorist activities much more easily with mobile devices making it more difficult for law enforcement to detect. Even in America, embedded terrorist groups are mobile and travel the nation’s highways in order to recruit, raise funds, purchase resources, conduct surveillance, and ultimately carry-out an attack. "Perhaps the best example of having an organized terrorist network all across the U.S. is the Somali terror group known as Al-Shabaab, which has had supporters arrested in California,
ISIS today has built a global terrorist network. They have drawn recruits from 120 countries, and have killed 1,200 people in countries outside of Iraq and Syria over the past several years (Rosenberg, 2017). Today, Al Qaeda is currently on the back burner, after over a decade of war with the world’s superpowers are eventually going to wear you down and eventually lose the war. ISIS is also slowly weakening Al Qaeda, based on three things: Al Qaeda’s Syrian affiliate Jabhat al-Nusra (JN) has lost several hundred fighters in battles against ISIS and numerous fighters have defected to ISIS from JN.
Furthermore, Senator Sanders has characterized ISIS as a dangerous organization. ISIS is a enormous terrorist organization (Feel the Bern 2017). This specific organization has developed strong ground on Iraq and Syria (Feel the Bern 2017). In turn, ISIS possesses a huge threat to the Middle East in regard to well-being and stability (Feel the Bern 2017). According to Senator Bernie sanders, Saudis have a responsibility to rise against ISIS is ISIS possesses such a great threat to them (Feel the Bern 2017).
Under the Social Control Theory, it involved criminological theories. Criminological theories means the organization have an intention to hurt others in order to have an interest for itself. ISIS in order to recruit more people from the world to join its organization, ISIS produces the high-impact video and chilling messages to grab the attentions from the people. According to Graeme Wood: “There is a temptation to rehearse this observation, that jihadists are modern secular people, with the modern political concerns, wearing medieval disguise, and make it fit the Islamic State.” The intention of ISIS is to have the attraction from the public, and planning to kill Foley.
Islamic state is taking over so much of Iraq and other countries if they are not stopped or threatened in a huge way Islamic State may take over the whole East side of our world. If the U.S. waits to send in troops or sends in troops one by one it can help there is a chance Islamic State will spread. The Islamic State isn’t doing this for fun or for revenge, they are showing that they are a true Islamic nation. Their attacks have spread to Europe now and the United States is just watching this happen. The United States cannot stop the ISIS everywhere so we need help also.
With ISIS having the ability to expand rapidly through recruits, it has obtained many strengths in its structure of a terrorist group. One main strength that ISIS possesses is its ability to acquire and continue to increase its substantial revenue (Ryan, 2016). The Islamic State’s network is close to 2 billion dollars, in which money remains since it is thoroughly managed (Ryan, 2016) Another strength of this terrorist group is its advanced networking ability. With social media being one of their main advances, it allows for their networking spectrum to advance as well.
As mentioned above, the main argument countries bump into is the question of sovereignty and the right to intervene in their governing procedures. We saw that with Barack Obama's delayed and deliberated response to make an action in Syrian civil war, which unfortunately came a year too late. All of the capable countries fear the international outrage their actions might spark, hence the slow and cautious process of assessing the current situation and comparing all the possible pros and cons. In addition, the local governments might fear an outrage of its own citizens, who might not want to send their military troops to a dangerous location.
My standing on this debate is still, and will remain neutral. I do think some violence is needed to eradicate ISIS, but I also do think that we can solve this problem a better way. As the con side had said, education will help the next generation in the middle east make their own decisions. On the other hand, the pro side has said that ISIS does not want to negotiate, they want to end the world. To stop ISIS, we need to come up with a plan that will eventually decrease their population.
