Terrorism has been something on the minds of people around the world for many years.
Was the war in Afghanistan worth it? Is the situation improving over there?
Just recently, president Obama sent 20,000 more troops to Afghanistan. But do we really know how wide the terror networks are? I guess that is something we will never be able to get exact statistics.
Last month, a nigerian attempted to blow up a plane which was about to land in Amsterdam. After investigations, it is found that he holds extremist views and had received training by the Al-Queda, after which getting the bomb equipments from Yemen. Does this mean that terror networks have expanded to Yemen? I do agree with what President Obama said about security. It really has to be stepped up in all countries around the world, no matter whether it is in planes or airports. Both are easy targets by terrorists and hence, I feel that nothing should be loosened up.
Following that incident, there was another similar incident but the culprit was stopped at the checkpoint before he could get up the plane.
Peace should not be taken for granted.
