¶ … War on Terror
INTRO: Given recent events, it would be impossible to write this essay without first acknowledging the biggest victory in the War on Terror since its inception, the targeted assassination of Osama Bin Laden by U.S. Navy SEALS. With the kingpin of al-Qaeda, and mastermind behind the September 11 attacks on the United States, officially out of the picture, the world is a better place. Yet, a "better" place does not necessarily mean a "safer" place. There are still radicals and Islamic fundamentalists (Jihadists and Ba'athists) and enemies of the United States who would like to see this country suffer and who will stop at nothing to see their terrorist plans actualized. In short, the world is still a dangerous place. With that in mind we must continue to safeguard this country from terrorist attacks and it is the thesis of this essay to investigate ways in which we can effectively fight the war on terror and ultimately prevent another 9/11.
Know Thine Enemy
PREMISE: The War on Terror is a complex and difficult war, unprecedented really. We are fighting an enemy that is relatively inconspicuous yet ubiquitous, present even on our own soil.

EVIDENCE: Like Vietnam where our soldiers had difficulty differentiating the Viet Kong from the local villagers, in the War on Terror our enemies are just as adept at blending in to their surroundings and assimilating into a foreign culture. This is why it is paramount that we pinpoint exactly who they are, using as much detail as we can possibly find.
President Bush did a good job of identifying who are enemies are on the governmental level. President Bush looked to his staff and used his resources and Intel to demarcate precisely who the enemy was. After conferring with former CIA director R. James Woolsey, President Bush had a definitive understanding of who the enemy was. The Bush doctrine identified Jihadists, Syrian and Iraqi Ba'athists, as well as Iranian clerics.
By removing as much ambiguity from the situation as possible, the Bush Administration could then set up clear directives on how to initiate attacks that would kill and eliminate those terrorist organizations....

America's engagement with China, with historic ice-breaking between the two countries carried out by Henry Kissinger, has been complicated. I would suggest that it were the U.S. domestic preoccupations and compulsions that did not allow me to take any bold stance on the issue of Dalai Lama.
