    Just or unjust? Al-Qaeda’s ideology and actions have proven to be unjust, violating just war theory, basic human rights, and plain old human decency. In this paper, I will explain how and why Al-Qaeda’s ideology and tactics violate the Just War Theory, as well as a counterpoint to this.

    There is no contesting that there is major debate surrounding warfare of any kind, whether in terms of man-to-man combat warfare on battle grounds, modern warfare with the use of more advanced technology such as UAVs and drones or the more contemporary cyber warfare. Debates concerning the legality, morality and cost-benefit analysis of these kinds of warfare has filled the rhetoric of policy analysts, scholarly academics and national leaders on international frontiers. With the Middle-East and North Africa (MENA) regions currently highlighted as hotspots for the ‘war on terror’, it is pertinent to analyze and understand the implications of the various kinds of force being used against the terrorist groups and the innocent civil populations…

    The world has become a place of utter chaos, a place where you constantly have to look over your shoulder, that is not any way someone should live. The world took a radical turn back in 1933, if the date sounds familiar, it should be. That is the date when the horrific events of the Holocaust began. Thinking back to all of the innocent people that lost their lives and didn’t have a clue what was happening should make a person feel the least bit angry, or wish that people had gotten more involved sooner. All of or most of the survivors (while it was still going on) tried to warn people, but people wouldn’t listen and they stayed silent about it.…

    On November 13, 2015, a group of well trained ISIS assailants attacked and killed over 100 innocent civilians throughout several buildings in Paris, France. This violent act, like many others recently, contradicts the common belief in peace which shared by most people. After war and revolution, citizens expect an undisturbed and nonviolent society. However, revolution and upheaval lead to a completely disorganization for a time. In addition, people still have to face different conflicts that occur between social and religious groups.…

    Is ignorance bliss? Or is it actually reason for concern? I definitely believe that a high level of ignorance can be quite dangerous. The novel “The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas’ by John Boyne gives many examples of the dangers that may come with ignorance, in ways such as being ignorant towards someone’s feelings, the ignorance shown in terrorist acts and the simple yet often life-threatening ignorance that often occurs with children.…

Although, he seems to provide an argument in his writing for sides of the drones’ opinion, he seems to favor drones in warfare.…
