Newsweek : Discussion & AQ Excerise - Terrorism
My thoughts on “The terror begins at home” and “Turning the Taliban” on newsweek
The terror begins at home - The writer who wrote this article thinks that America's government is telling its citizens to believe in the government, while they do not make them mentally prepared for attacks. I think that Americans are shocked after what happened during 9/11. However I feel that they have to be prepared for such attacks.
Turning the Taliban - U.S is planning to lure away thousands of Taliban with offers of jobs and money, in exchange for peace. However, the young people says that it won't work. They are not willing to surrender for money, or enter any negotiations with their enemies. I feel that they will not surrender to anything because what they had suffered is too much.
From the articles, I learnt that we should always be physically and mentally prepared. We should be trained to handle such situations, for men there is national service, for women, what is there? By being prepared, we can reduce the damage caused by the terrorist if they successfully managed to get an attack on us. And Singaporeans should also know that money cannot buy everything.
