Abstract
This paper looks at Al-Qaida, a multi-national Muslim-centered support group that is led by Osama bin Ladin and how it successfully solicits funds to finance terrorist activities worldwide. This paper examines its ideology, which is to cleanse the Muslim world of the corrupt and secular leadership that has allowed western thinking and culture to exist among the Muslim people. It also analyzes how acts of terrorism are used on everyone who may seem a threat to Al-Qaida's mission.
From the Paper
"Osama Bin Ladin has identified what he sees as the prime enemies of Muslim culture. The countries he wishes most to destroy are the United States and Israel. He resents the United States for interfering in numerous fields in the Muslim world politically and militarily. He resents Israel for occupying Palestine and finds the countries of Saudi Arabia, Egypt and Algeria to be unacceptably westernized (Margulies 18). As justification for his vengeance, Bin Ladin cites the Muslim Holy Scripture, the Koran, which calls for Jihad, or Holy War, against the enemies of the Muslim religion."

Abstract
The paper asserts that there is a lack of real collusion between Americans and the United Nations in relation to the war on Al Qaida. The paper reveals that the facts validate U.S. imperialism in Iraq and Afghanistan, and Al Qaida as a terrorist organization has been used as a kind of scapegoat for military aggression committed in Iraq. The paper argues that by violating United Nations mandates that seek a UN Vote to invade such countries as Iraq, the American government has only shown that it is unwilling to properly validate its reasons for attacking a sovereign country.

It has an operational presence in Lebanon too."

Abstract
The paper examines the article "Arab League to Pay Palestinian Salaries," a ghost written article on the Al Jazeera English language news web site and the article "Al-Qaida? If Hamas is Pushed into a Corner," written by Danny Rubinstein for Haaretz.com, a Jewish news web site. The paper shows how while both of these articles at least make a passing attempt at impartiality, their take on the story is ultimately very different. The paper notes how Al Jazeera talks about the situation in the Palestinian Authority in terms of Arab unity, while Haaretz stresses Muslim disunity. A further difference is noted that while Al Jazeera suggests that Muslim charity will keep the Hamas-led government afloat, Haaretz suggests that it may have to turn to financial help from other terrorists.
From the Paper
"Earlier this year, when the Palestinian party, Hamas, swept the Palestinian elections, it took the whole world off guard. This is because Hamas is also an internationally recognized terrorist organization that has committed more bombings against the country of Israel than any other group. In response to what it considered an outrage, Israel began withholding tax revenues that it collects on behalf of the Palestinian Authority. Furthermore, both the United States and the European Union began withholding international aid to the Palestinians. All this was an attempt to convince the Palestinian people that they have made a mistake and choke off the Hamas-led government. This, in turn, has caused great economic hardship for Palestinian government workers who have not been paid for over a month."

Abstract
This well-researched paper opens with a comprehensive and historic look into both the American and British law enforcement agencies. The writer of this paper traces the origins of the British Sheriff's office back to the Norman Conquest which took place in 1066. This paper delves into the significant increase of international terrorism while focusing on the effectiveness of various law enforcement agencies in America and around the world in combating this growing problem. This paper discusses the views and opinions of several historians regarding the increase and decrease of crime and terror from the medieval times and up to the present. The writer of this paper examines specific historic events and their resulting impact on global terrorism including the fall of the Soviet Union, the Cold War and the 9/11 terror attacks. This paper analyzes the manner in which the Bush Administration moved to establish additional intelligence and enforcement cooperation among the existing agencies in order to more effectively face terrorist threats such as al-Qaida. This paper contains detailed and in-depth historical facts and dates relevant to this particular topic. This paper also examines the manner in which recent advancements and progress in technology are assisting law enforcement agencies around the world to thwart off potential threats of terror.
From the Paper
"Various historians have offered various different reasons for the unexpected decrease in the crime rate during the comparatively modern times, and there were some who assumed that perhaps it was industrialization and urbanization and modernization that contributed to this phenomenon. There were some other scholars and researchers who theorized that in actuality crime had not diminished, but had in fact shifted form bodily assaults that were popular in those times, to crimes that were more or less closely related to property, which also indicated that the nature of crime had shifted from an innate scarcity and paucity, to a greater prosperity as well as a free availability of material goods and possessions during modern times. There is also another form of opinion, which states that the decrease in crime seemed to have happened irrespective of industrialization and urbanization."

Abstract
The paper describes the US embassy bombing in Kenya August 7th, 1998 and explores who was to blame for this attack. The paper uses the work of Bruce Hoffman entitled; "Inside Terrorism" as the basis for this discussion on terrorism and al-Qaeda. The paper questions if al-Qaeda terrorists can in reality be considered 'freedom fighters' and demonstrates how the al-Qaeda group is not fighting for freedom or human rights, but instead is fighting for the attention of Allah in the afterlife.

From the Paper
"On August 7, 1998 at 10:30 am at the U.S. Embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, a truck bomb was detonated in the rear parking lot entrance killing 12 American diplomats and 200 Kenyan citizens. Additionally injured were 10 Americans, 12 Foreign Service nations and 4,000 Kenyans were seriously injured. On the same day and at 10:39 a.m. a bomb was also detonated in a truck within 35 feet from the U.S. embassy located in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania complex's outer wall. Dead were 11 Tanzanians, with 2 Americans and 83 Tanzanians injured. In the first incident, a grenade was thrown at the gate of the U.S. embassy and did not land until it had entered the underground parking garage. Michael Van Dyke states of the incident: "moments later, an explosion ripped through the embassy also demolishing the nearby Ufundi Coop House and the 17-story Cooperative Bank. A secretarial college was also severely damaged. Within days the man who had actually thrown the bomb was identified and captured in the personage of Mohamed Rashed Daoud Al-Owhali."

Abstract
This paper discusses the relationship between the USA and Iraq. According to this paper, there seems to be much confusion about the war across the board. Some say that the U.S. main goal is to get revenge for Saddam's role during the 9-11 attacks and some say that the U.S. wants to stop Saddam Hussein from defending al-Qaida in Iraq. The paper further discusses how in addition, the U.S. prepared deals with oil rich states, which have not been negotiated however dictators have made it impossible for the U.S. to pull out due to these factors.

Abstract
This paper presents a brief examination of American foreign policy from the Vietnam War to the bombardment of Cambodia, the Gulf War and the economic sanctions on Iraq as well as the present war against bin-La din's al-Qaida in Afghanistan.
From the Paper
"The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today is my own government," said Martin Luther King in 1967. King's premise is presently shared by many, in the United States and elsewhere, who believe that the US is the "evil empire" of the second half of the 20th century. While the current American offensive is justified by many throughout the political spectrum. The Nation's Richard Falk maintains that "The war in Afghanistan against apocalyptic terrorism" is the first truly just war since World War II" others argue that the bombardment is merely another example of the violent, disdainful nature of America's foreign policy. The American intervention in WWII, of course, is widely regarded as a necessary contribution to the containment of the expansionist Nazi aggressors. Not too many people repudiate the legitimacy of that war, the mere existence of various non-white ethnic groups throughout the world is enough to dispel any counter notions. In retrospect, most people agree that the US would have saved the life of millions had it recognized the nature of the enemy sooner, and thus joined the war earlier. "

Abstract
This paper examines how the Southeast archipelago nation of Indonesia has made huge economic strides since its independence in 1949 and how it still has major hurdles to overcome. It looks at how terrorist threats exemplified by the existence of Al-Qaida training camps and recent bombings display the decrease in the military's strength and the legal system's inability to bring justice to the region. It also analyzes how the instability of the government's leadership and the rampant corruption at all levels poses significant risks as evidenced by the severe currency fluctuations, banking instability and successionist movements by several major islands.
From the Paper
"Indonesia, one of the most populous nations in the world, possesses abundant natural resources. Though Indonesia's natural and acquired resources would seem to lend themselves to continued growth, the Southeast Asian island nation has struggled with sustainable economic development issues since winning its independence in 1949. As recently as 1997, Indonesia was one of the world's fastest developing nations economically and was a hotbed for foreign private investment."
