other violent non-state actors such as crime organizations through multiple means. Furthermore, the issue of the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction is at stake with these transnational non-state actors. Since the end of the Cold War and the advent of a "new world order", the way is opened to that kind of other forms of confrontations. Thus, terrorism - the weapon of the weak to borrow from the story of David against Goliath - has become the spearhead of the struggle started by many armed groups

on Terror The War on Terror is tough to define. It is considered a war, but not in the traditional sense. When one thinks of war they think of enemies, a battlefield, weapons, and death.

“Simul Justus et peccator.” This Latin phrase is a core doctrine of the Lutheran faith. It states that all people are righteous, yet sinners at the same time. By recognizing that we are all simultaneously righteous and sinful, and by becoming vulnerable and obedient enough to pray for our enemies, hate will be transformed to love and violence replaced by peace. While this may seem like a straightforward process, in reality, it is extremely complex. Accepting, and more importantly, loving someone

recent past, naturally occurring infections still remain the Achilles’ heel of today’s health systems. 2. Terrorism Versus Bioterrorism Despite the dark past in healthcare systems, current issues of the use of biological agents as means of mass destruction is alarming.

Williams Sr. Comp Ge 217 Rachael Stanford March 4, 2015 The article about columbine and the 5 year old really outraged me because I believe there were signs of trouble before the shooting but I believe the administration and people around them just didn’t pay attention to the boys.

The atomic bombs were created by the Manhattan Project, which was a research and development program established by the United States with the United Kingdom and Canada that produced the first atomic bomb during World War II. The United States called for a surrender of Japan in the Potsdam Declaration on 26 July 1945 by threatening Japan with “prompt and utter destruction”. However, such ultimatum was ignored by the Japanese government. Thus, two nuclear weapons that

Over Population The impact of over-population is more widespread than most Americans realize. With an average of over 200,000 more people being added to this planet daily, an effect on the environment is inevitable. I believe over-population has more of a negative effect than positive. Issues such as depletion of natural resources, over-crowding, and the spread of diseases are why I am so concerned about this epidemic. With such a rapid average growth in population, natural resources
