There are very few issues that can break the political deadlock. Terrorism is one of the issues that partisanship differences can be put aside in an attempt to reach a consensus for the safety of the citizens of the United States. The September 11 attacks will always be a reference to what terrorists are capable of, thus the Republicans and Democrats stand on the same side. Safety is the main concern of every human being, regardless of their backgrounds, beliefs, or ideals. The recent terrorist…

In the DemocracyNow! Report on April 5th, 2017, Amy Goodman reported on chemical weapons attack in the northern province of Idlib.

Both might be right, on the one hand it can be said that the region is in the throes of a transitional period to a more democratic future, while on the other hand it can be seen that the new rulers installed after the Arab Spring appear to be backsliding into…

There are no excuses for what happened in Paris on November 13, 2015. I believe that once terrorists are in your borders there are no ways to stop them. With that said, I believe the only way to even have a chance at stopping these horrific events are tightening up our borders to the max.

What is ISIS? ISIS is an acronym that stands for the "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria" . Its recent origins must be briefly explained by political unrest in Afghanistan and Iraq that started in the 1980's. The Soviet Union invades and occupies Afghanistan 1979.
