Abstract
This research discusses anti-terrorism policies and the manner in which they influence the nation and the world. Anti-terrorism is defined as defensive procedures used to decrease the susceptibility of citizens and property to terrorist attacks. In the aftermath of September 11, 2001, the U.S.A. was forced to deal with the threat of terrorism in a completely new light. For this reason, lawmakers devised a set of laws know as the Patriot Act. The research in this paper suggests that the Patriot Act is the main bill that deals with the issue of anti-terrorism in the United States. Though an anti-terrorism bill is necessary, the research indicates that the details of the Patriot Act are problematic. The issues that are problematic and even unconstitutional include: The government's ability to detain those that are believed to be terrorists without any due process, the right of the government to eavesdrop using roving wiretaps, reductions in judicial oversight and the role of congress. The paper argues that all of these issues are pertinent to American citizens and may prove to undermine the administration's efforts to mount a defense against acts of terrorism.

Introduction
Review of Literature
Findings
Conclusion
From the Paper
"According to an article entitled "The War Power and Its Limits", several aspects of the current antiterrorism policies are questionable. Kassop (2003) explains that in addition to abandoning the aforementioned judicial oversight, the antiterrorism policies of the Bush Administration also "created a blurring of distinctions between military action and law enforcement, along with a resultant uncertainty as to which set of standards applies in certain circumstances (Kassop 2003)." In addition, Kassop (2003) asserts that the antiterrorism policies have a disregard for congress. The author contends that the antiterrorism policies also give law enforcement agencies a tremendous amount of authority to monitor all types of activities that were once considered an invasion of privacy(Kassop 2003)."

Terrorism Policy, 2008.
This paper looks at definitions of terrorism and their effects on terrorism policies.

Abstract
The paper discusses how a terrorism policy is contingent upon the definition of terrorism prevalent at a given time and looks at the terrorism policies of the past. The paper discusses the serious implications for how we define the word terrorism. The paper also explains that, used too broadly, the definition can limit the ability of legitimate guerrilla organizations to fight oppressive regimes, but used too restrictively, it can make a nation vulnerable to unforeseen attacks.
From the Paper
"The issue of global terrorism has become a major public concern in the past decade or so and particularly since the attacks of September 11, 2001. It is a natural response to terrorist attacks and activity that governments and lawmakers will attempt to formulate policies to deal with the problem. It seems logical to conclude that without clear and consistent sets of policies and procedures to deal with such a multi-faceted and complex problem, it will not be possible to effectively combat it or fight it on almost any coherent level."

Anti-Terrorism Countermeasures, 2007.
A discussion on how we can use anti-terrorism countermeasures to ensure mail room security.

Abstract
This paper looks at how, since today's society is replete with acts of terrorism, both domestic and international, a security manager's thoughts should be directed towards how to protect mail rooms, their personnel, and the facilities that house them. It examines how it would behoove management to develop and implement strategic countermeasures to combat terrorism through the mail system and how, by conducting a vulnerability assessment of the facility and its operation, managers are better equipped to develop proper threat assessment and implement countermeasures to ensure their effectiveness.
From the Paper
"Although a trained screener has the potential to combat this by initiating developed procedures, which limits work stoppages. Described in this paper are some of the countermeasures that are available to reduce the likelihood of bombs, biological agents (anthrax) and chemicals from passing through the mailroom to unsuspected mail recipients. Due to the potential hazards associated with mailroom security and the various variable encountered, to date there are still no standards in place for implementing countermeasures."

Abstract
After the September 11, 2001, attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, the United States went on the offensive against Afghanistan, its Taliban leadership and Al Qaeda. Since then, the "war on terror" has expanded to include Iraq, despite the lack of evidence of weapons of mass destruction on their part or of a link between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein. The paper shows that, although as an American it is easy to see why the government would want to combat terrorism, the policies and actions taken by the United States have not been the best for reducing the threat of counter-terrorism
From the Paper
"The most obvious place for improvement in the United States counterterrorism policy is in the dominant position that the United States insists on taking in such situations. Such an attitude limits the ability of government officials to understand the underlying causes of acts of terrorism against the United States. While it would not necessarily improve the state of affairs to negotiate face to face with terrorist groups, it would certainly be useful to carefully consider the background and experiences of those groups that choose to terrorize the United States."

Terrorism and US Policy, 2006.
An understanding of the cause and effect of terrorism in American domestic and foreign policy.

Abstract
In this paper one could find how America has become a preemptive and unilateral military force in the world due to the Bush Administration's foreign policy. The paper discusses how the cause and effect of terrorism has been brought on by the CIA and American corporate interest, which has resulted in a foreign policy debacle of major proportions. The illogic of attacking a country with no ties to Bin Laden nor its having weapons of mass destruction makes for dangerous foreign policy.
From the Paper
"The aim of this political study will be to examine the cause and effect of American foreign policy throughout the world. Although the main focus of this study will be to understand how terrorism has become a major part of domestic policy, the foreign policy of the American government is a very important part of why terrorism is such a major phenomenon from 1995-2005. By understanding the anger and resentment that Arabs in the Middle East have felt toward American imperialism in their region, the rise of terrorism is a causal response to countries without armies powerful enough to face an American attack. The effect of this imperialist policy has been the constant and unmitigated attacks by such terrorists as Bin Laden and others that seek to bring down U.S. hegemony in the Middle East. "

The New Anti-Terrorism Laws, 2002.

Abstract
This paper explores the impact on American civil liberties of new anti-terrorism laws put into effect by the Bush Administration. The paper focuses on the "Patriot Act" and the "Homeland Security Act". The paper argues that these laws seriously undermine the very freedoms that the U.S. Constitution was designed to protect. Arguments made by the ACLU that support this position are also cited.
From the Paper
"The Bush administration has characterized the U.S.. Patriot Act as ?perhaps its most essential tool in fighting terrorists.? (Lichtblau, 2003). However, they have also used the provisions of this law in criminal investigations that have absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with terrorist security, including ?investigat[ing] suspected drug traffickers, white-collar criminals, blackmailers, child pornographers, money launderers, spies and even corrupt foreign leaders.? (Lichtblau, 2003) The Justice Department has defended these actions as simply making use of all the tools Congress has authorized them to use, and that they make no distinction between suspected terrorist activity and other suspected criminal activity."

From the Paper
"The problem of defining terrorism is probably the most difficult tasks facing students of terrorism. I are therefore hesitant to add to the considerable volume that has been written on this specific subject. This first section will briefly discuss several definitional aspects of the social phenomenon we call terrorism. Interestingly, the first time the term terrorism was used, it referred to state-terrorism or terrorism from above. The regime of the Jacobins, between March 1793 and July 1794 received the qualification of ?syst?m r?gime de la terreur?, referring to the many executions that occurred during the French Revolution. The term implied an organized system of coercion, based on fear and violence. However, with exception maybe of the two latter elements, it can easily be said that terrorism has no such specific meaning today. The term is used and abused quite frequently, for political and ideological purposes alike. A variety of situations and actions are labeled terrorist. Yet another considerable problem is the fact that a majority of terrorism definitions have been designed in the specific purpose of fitting a particular ideology."

Abstract
This article offers a brief review linking Western foreign policy, to the rise and extension of global terror. The writer suggests that there is a connection between Western foreign policy, especially American and spreading global terrorism. The writer examines the unbalanced American policy for the Arab-Israeli conflict. The writer raises the subject of the anger felt by Islamic populations.
From the Paper
"American policy in the Arab-Israeli conflict has been neither restrained nor balanced. Rather American policy toward the conflict has provided for an intensive American involvement with a solid preference for Israel. In the early days, Israel was a small struggling country. Survival was an issue and American foreign policy in the Middle East was to achieve peace in order to assure that survival. Contemporary Israel, however has one of the most powerful military forces in the world, together with ... "

Abstract
This paper focuses on the way counter terrorism and terrorism have changed since 9/11 and the growing role of the U.S. It also looks at the development of 'modern' terrorism and the possible consequences of the continuing War on Terror. It debates whetherr or not September 11th, 2001 can be seen as a day that changed the face of terrorism. It also discusses how since the invasion of Afghanistan, terrorist attacks have become more numerous and high profile although their basic purpose remains the same, to gain attention. It puts forward the view that what has changed about terrorism since 9/11 is the amount of media attention it now controls.
From the Paper
"As well as presenting a recent point of reference for terrorist activity, the conflicts in Palestine and Northern Ireland also show two different ways of dealing with the problem, certain aspects of which have been adopted by the United States. In the case of Britain and Northern Ireland, the conflict is one of territory and security for those who want British rule. In Palestine and Israel however, the situation is based purely on territory. This difference in the foundation for the terrorist action seems to have dictated the way in which terrorism has been dealt with. Because of the presence of British citizens in Northern Ireland, and the small section of society that is involved in the unrest , it has been British policy in recent years to try and settle the situation through political sanctions and increased security measures to prevent terrorism."

Abstract
This paper argues that U.S. foreign policy within the last thirty years has had a significant influence in the rise of terrorism throughout the world. The writer cites U.S. involvement in domestic politics in many countries, military interventions, and pursing national interests in other countries regardless of the consequences of pursing those interests, as influential in enabling terrorist organizations. The paper claims that in order to stop the wave of terrorism throughout the world, the United States must stay clear from interfering with domestic political problems in many regions around the world and must stay away from pursuing military operations that are not in the national interests of United States.

From the Paper
"As Ahid Aslam concentrated on the foreign policy priorities of the Bush Administration in his article, Robert Cutter from the institute for foreign policy in focus wrote an article titled ?The Anti-Terrorist Coalition: A New World Order Redux.? This article focuses on the possibility that the anti-terrorist coalition may incite terrorist groups to ruse up and take action against the coalition in order to break it up. The author concentrates on the possible negative effects of placing together an anti-terrorist coalition and having being lead by the United States. The author determines that as long as the United States continues to lead the anti-terrorist coalition, the coalition will only be serving U.S. interests on terrorism and not international interests. The author suggests that it should be the United Nations that should be leading the coalition and not the United States."

Abstract
This paper puts forward Pillar?s analyses about terrorism and how it can be eliminated. It also outlines certain evidence that Pillar gives in his work to support his claim.
From the Paper
"Terrorism and U.S. Foreign Policy by Paul Pillar focuses all of its attention on terrorists attacks on the United States and the approach used by the United States in combating these attacks in the right and meaningful way. Recently the Chicago Council conducted a census on Foreign affairs and discovered that the most captious threat to the United States was International Terrorism. America being a super power is under a continuous danger of being threatened of its security. Of course the government and the United States President takes this issue very seriously in order to safeguard the well being of the country?s citizens but the question is are they doing it in the right manner?"

Abstract
The following paper discusses why anti-abortion campaigns must be halted by providing the reader with media references and statistics with regards to the anti-abortion population. This paper discusses what must be done in order to put the pro-choice laws, that have already been enforced, into practice by a well-briefed, well-trained state system.
From the Paper
?Only a small, militant section of the population is actively anti-abortion.
They believe that abortion kills a living human baby in a painful way. For example, a pro-life website, ironically called The Pro-choice Homepage, describes abortion this way: ?forceps must be used to grasp the baby's body because of the child's advanced development. The baby is dismembered as the abortionist twists and tears the parts of the body and slices the placenta away... the procedure is devastating...?

Abstract
This paper examines, through a literature review, instances of policies that were developed and not effectively carried out, as well as recent requirements for the formulation of policies put into place at the UN. It looks at how a sustained public information campaign is extremely important for the success of the UN?s attempt to reinvent its system of policy formulation and policy implementation due to all the ?bad news?, including terrorism and war and AIDS, etc., dominating the TV and print news agencies.
From the Paper
"There are myriad examples of the UN?s good work ? in many and diverse areas where there are desperate human needs throughout the world ? and also, on the other hand, there is no shortage of evidence that some policies, although they were drawn up with the best of intentions, failed in their mission, or were thwarted either through no direct fault of the UN, or because the UN?s policy implementation could not match the promises in the policy formulation. One example of the apparent failure of a policy which was to be implemented was recently reported by the British Medical Journal (Tayal, 2003). The journal claimed that a UN policy designed to tackle the health and human rights needs of ?indigenous people? ? a policy which was formulated in 1995 ? has not been very effective in its implementation."

Abstract
The following paper looks at the result of spending billions on security measures in the U.S.A. to combat terrorism. It discusses the ways in which the expenses of security measures affect the GDP and it assesses whether U.S. anti-terrorism policies impact significantly on the nation's economy.
From the Paper
"Bush may be faced with a puzzle. He may be tempted to imitate Reagan?s ?military Keynesianism?, by trying to make use of ?state funds? to get America out of recession. He has declared that ?$75 billion? would be diverted towards the economy of the nation. But ?military Keynesianism? might just provoke huge inflation that could lead to a crash later on. This might result in job losses and a decrease in trade and the working class will have to bear the consequences, as usual. (2) Though the American people may not be expected to be ?bold? enough, the American government is prepared to spend its finds on the fight against terrorism as well as the economic fight they have been pushed into."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the airline transport and airport security anti-terrorist steps recently implemented. Three policies were introduced by President Bush - ?Federal Grant Program to Strengthen Aircraft Security?; ?Expanded Federal Air Marshal Program? and increased passenger security while in the airport. It looks at the advantages and disadvantages of these programs.
From the Paper
"The aftermath of the World Trade Center bombing in New York City last September 11, 2001 made the US government formulate numerous precautions and measures that will prevent and eliminate the possibility of a terrorist attack to happen again. One of the preventive measures the US government has set up was to think of national policies in airline transportations and airports that will bring security and safety to the consumers and crew of the airline company. Three major steps were delivered by US President George W. Bush that will help attain the said objectives, that of the people and crew?s safety and security."
