The Future is Unclear

The future is unknown but one thing is certain and that is that terrorism is the new threat that the world must live with. The threat is no longer Communism and the evil Soviet Union that America feared so much during the Cold War. Terrorist attacks can happen at any time and there is no longer a 30 minute warning during the time that you can see the missile coming towards you from space. The terrorist attacks that have happened over the past seven years show that terrorist attacks can happen at any time and that the majority are directed to achieve mass civilian casualties. The tragic attacks that just happened in India reinforce that a terrorist attack can happen any where. With terrorist attacks becoming more prevalent in the world more needs to be done to stop terrorism. As a nation and as a world we must stand ready to fight the terrorists that are trying to bring destruction to our way of life. This is not just the problem for the United States or its allies to solve because terrorism affects everyone in this world. More needs to be done on an International level to combat terrorism.
