...The Bombing of the American Embassy in Kenya | | POL-375 International Terrorism | Abstract Americans have focused majorly on the horror and devastation of September 11, 2010. The media covered acts of heroism and terrorism on US soil. These events were horrific; however, they were not the first time that terrorism has touched our precious land. The bombing of the US Embassy, in Kenya, is just one incident that occurred prior to 911. When we think of terrorism towards the US, everyone naturally thinks of 911; although, this would be a natural reflect, it shouldn’t be. Our country has been under attack several years prior to that memorable day. Does anyone remember the “powerful terrorist car bomb exploded outside US embassy in Kenya, killing at least 81 people – including eight Americans – and injuring more than 1600.” (William Claiborne. The Washington Post. Washington, D.C.: Aug 8, 1998. pg. A.01) American lives were lost on this day, also. Not only were there Americans among this death toll, but it was “confirmed that Osama bin Laden planned, financed and executed the attack.” (Jack Kelley. USA TODAY. McLean, Va.: Aug 21, 1998. pg. 04.A) As we live in the comfort of our homes, and go about our lives; our country has been under assault from this mastermind dating back to 1995. This event has familiar aspects to the mayhem that occurred on September 11th. There was a simultaneous bombing at the US Embassy in Tanzania on August 8th. These events...

In 1403-06 he was sent as an ambassador to the court of Timur, founder and ruler of Timurid Empire, by the Henry III of Castile. The original intention of the journey was to meet Timur in his winter pasturage in Qarabagh what is now modern Georgia, but due to the bad weather they were forced to return back to Constantinople to spend the winter. Then they continued their travel, but were unable to catch up Timur because of his rapid moving, so they had to follow his way till the Samarqand, capital of Timurid Empire. All the descriptions in his journey were witnessed by him personally. His diary is distinguished from other sources by it detailed and precise notes kept while travelling. At first when you start reading this narrative you immediately pay attention to the dates and days of week that he described in his work. Clavijo and his company were treated very well when they were in the territory of Timur’s Empire. About this he wrote from the beginning till the end adding Tmiur’s words that they should attain higher position and be treated better than Chinese delegation, who came to demand tribute.

These requirements are: -Eyesight requirements, eyesight is very important for a police officer to have.

...Embassies of Two Kings Agamemnon and Priam both send embassy to Achilles in order to convince him to return their desire by entering the war with the Greeks for Agamemnon and to return the body of Hector for Priam. Both Kings’ embassies were convincing, but only Priam succeeds to persuade Achilles to return Hector back. Agamemnon’s embassy to convince Achilles to return to the war alongside of the Greeks Army failed even when his fellow Greek and countrymen’s morale is slowly decreasing due to his leave and a plague that had struck their camp. Agamemnon failed to convince Achilles because in the beginning of Iliad, nine years after the beginning of the war, they had won a battle against the Trojans and had ransacked a Trojan town where the battle took place. In the book, Agamemnon, the chief commander of the Greek army had taken a woman Chryseis as a price of victory over the battle. On the other hand, Achillies, a fierce important warrior of the Greeks took Briseis as his price. What they later found out was that Chryseis, daughter of Chryses; a priest who serves the god Apollo. Chryses pleaded to Agamemnon to return his daughter back to her, but Agamemnon refuse to give back his prize, therefore leading Chryses to pray to Apollo to punish the Greek army with a plague. Agamemnon will have to send his prize Chryseis back to her father in order to lift the plague only if he could take Achillies’ prize Briseis. This move that Agamemnon took left rage in Achilles and threatens...

...it's a loved one or a stranger. In The Crucible by Arthur Miller, Reverend Hale begged Elizabeth Proctor to tell her husband John to confess to witchcraft, “Life is God’s most precious gift; no principle, however glorious, may justify the taking of it,”(122) even though that might not all be the case. The statement is correct when saying that life is very valuable but wrong because there are principles that justify taking lives such as to keep others’ safe, keep oneself safe, and to protect one’s rights and beliefs. Countless of people can condone taking a life when keeping others’ safe is involved. One example would be to kill terrorists like Osama bin Laden, founder of al-Qaeda. He was one of the members responsible for the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, the September 11 attacks, and the 2002 Bali bombings. To stop further mass-casualty attacks around the world, the US government decided to pursue a War on Terror. After nearly a decade of searching for bin Laden, the United States special forces military unit found him in a private residential compound in Abbottabad after being ordered by United States President, Barack Obama. Bin Laden was confirmed to have been killed during the raid. If the US didn’t resort to killing him, he could have caused more mass-killings, and many more casualties would be in the hands of the US for not doing anything to prevent more attacks from occurring. Another example of killing terrorists would be some members of al-Qaeda,...

Osama was assassination done by the US Navy seals in a night raid on a high-walled compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan (Owen, M., & Maurer, 2012). His assassination had a great impact on the running of the al-Qaida organization. Osama bin Laden had significantly achieved high recognition as the symbol of international terrorist. Consequently, Osama declared war on the US and allies affiliated to US. His mission was followed by organized and fruitful attacks by al-Qaeda militants’ in various countries. Back in the 1990s, he organized a successful attack on the USS Cole, US embassy in Kenya and Tanzania respectively. There were also attacks in Bali, Madrid, and London. Indeed, the death of Osama is a big blow to the al-Qaeda terrorist operation that has been depending on his strategic attacks. It is unfortunate to the organization since they have so far no one with such charismatic leadership to replace him (Bergen, P, 2013).. Osama’s death has significantly reduced the al-Qaeda into a confused and non-coherent terrorist organization. The large number of young Muslims who died operating in the group has rendered most of the Muslims to oppose the ideology of the al-Qaeda. The death of the Muslims has made the group toothless to the US and NATO forces operating in Iraq and Afghanistan. Al-Qaeda ideology has received...

...WHAT DO KUME KUNITAKE’S OBSERVATIONS OF THE WEST DURING HIS TRAVELS WITH THE IWAKURA EMBASSY REVEAL ABOUT JAPAN IN THE 1870S? In December 1871 the prominent Japanese minister Iwakura Tomomi led almost half of the new Meiji government (“the government”) on an embassy around the Western world. Travelling with the ‘Iwakura Embassy’ was Kume Kunitake, a Neo-Confucian scholar and historian. Employed as both Iwakura’s personal secretary and the Embassy’s recorder, Kume along with his assistant Sugiura Kozo (later Hatakeyama Yoshinari) were instructed to record what the Embassy witnessed in the West. The record they produced was to form the basis for Kume’s ‘True Account’ (‘Jikki’) of the Embassy’s ‘Journey of Observations’ (‘Kairan’). Clearly set aside from the Jikki’s narrative in indented sections are Kume’s ‘personal views and observations’ (“Kume’s observations”). Yet these are much more than mere observations. Indeed, before Kume could publish his work he required the approval of Iwakura. While this presumably encouraged Kume to toe the government line, it also gave Iwakura considerable influence over Kume. Considering that the Jikki was revised over ten times before it was approved, it seems that Iwakura fully exercised this influence. Indeed, as Kume’s observations often appear to digress from the main narrative it suggests that they were imposed into Jikki at a late stage of compilation, presumably during these revisions. This suggests that these observations were written...

...Written Assignment –Chipotle Marketing Plan International Marketing-BUS 403 February 11, 2015 Introduction: | Chipotle first opened in Denver in 1993 with a simple idea behind it, “food served fast didn’t have to be “fast-food” experience”, (Chipotle Mexican Grill, 2015). Prior to CEO Steve Ellis opening the restaurant chain, he himself was a chef. Since its creation, Chipotle has become a phenomenon in the restaurant industry and has experienced tremendous growth since it went public in 2006 with over 1,600 restaurants in Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, and France, with the majority located in the United States (Chipotle Mexican Grill, 2015). . The company focus is on using high-quality raw ingredients, (Chipotle Mexican Grill, 2015). Using fresh ingredients is the groundwork of the menu, but they also believe fresh is not enough any longer, (Chipotle Mexican Grill, 2015). Chipotle wants to know the sources for all of the ingredients in order to serve the freshest tasting food and to be mindful of the environmental and public impact of the business, (Chipotle Mexican Grill, 2015). Chipotle refers to this as “food with integrity”, (Chipotle Mexican Grill, 2015). Another thing that set’s Chipotle aside from the others in the industry is they practice classic cooking methods and the stores are of distinctive interiors that are found more in the world of fine-dining, not the typical fast-food, (Chipotle Mexican Grill, 2015). The Chipotle experience begins...
