Good Evening folks.

My name is Alex. I am a college student and a National Guard soldier. I was directed to post at this site by another member for information on a specific topic I was assigned for a class.

I am posting a question I was assigned in order to get the views and knowledge of proffessionals who have learned by experience.


Political Science Y380- Topic Terrorism

Indiana University, Purdue University at Indianapolis-IUPUI

Terrorism 2004
Paper Assignment #1
Due 12FEB2004

"The search for Roots" (this is the exact question I was assigned)
"After September 11, the news media were filled with articles about the "root causes" of the terrorist attacks. Select two possible "root causes" of the terrorist attacks of 9-11. (These need not be factors that you believe caused the attacks.) How do these "toot causes" influence what ought to be the response to terrorism? How plausible do you think these factors are as "root causes"? Why do you think we seek "root causes" of terrorism?

"This paper should be 5-7 pages. It is not an exhaustive research paper: but you should cite textual evidence for your claims. Provide concrete examples, for instance, of people who claim that "x is a root cause of terrorism."


I wish to include the views of those of you who answer this question in my paper. I will follow all opsec rules and any guidlines you impose. I will NOT list where/who/how I got this information. My intentions toward this assignment and this post are honorable and by no means liberal in any sense. I will uphold the strictest form of proffessionalism in my preparation for this paper. I am truly interested in what your views are toward this subject.

Respectfully
