In theory, the War Measures Act seems like the most suitable option during times of crisis or war; however, its use during the October Crisis seemed unnecessary. It unnecessarily acted upon a violent group that the government could have been prepared for if they noticed it had been planned a decade earlier. The government brought back the War Measures Act when a nationalist liberation group when they threatened the government officials; and rather than allowing all Quebec citizens to continue…

The least convincing between the two arguments was the article written by famous ex-basketball player, Kareem Abdul Jabbar. Although his argument was well stated, it only offered a limited view on the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attacks by Muslim Radicals. Jabbar spoke out as a Muslim-American and condemned the actions taken by “Muslims” in Paris, France. Jabbar later went into depth about how the American people lived through a similar phase, back when the Ku Klux Klan roamed American soil. He used…

In 2013, the Obama administration announced that the United States would no longer be using the terms “War on Terror” and “Radical Islamic Terrorists” claiming that America is not at war with…

Before Rabin's assassination, it didn't seem as if Shin Bet had an understanding of how to fight terrorism. As an organization, Shin Bet was intimidating as hell. They used torture tactics, like shaking and solitary confinement, terror attacks (Bus 300), and kept their prisoners in truly, hellish facilities. You can draw similarities to how the U.S. responded in the aftermath of 9/11: the initial national shock and how it changed the way the U.S. government strategized national security.…

There are a lot of moving pieces with this question; culture innovation and economy, over-glorified war stories, Military Strategic Doctrine, and modern US military acquisitions – what could possibly have gone wrong? What part of Clausewitz’s “spirit of the age” ties all this together? Technology! There is no doubt that “Advance Technology” and a “war against a lesser trained and equipped force” were critical contributors to the success of ‘AirLand Battle’ during DESERT STORM. So successfully,…
