Hijacked

This is my second attempt at this blog because I first did not look at all the research involved. But now I will say that I agree and disagree with the policies that we have against terrorism. I clicked on the first link with the policies and thought okay that is a good idea not to give into terrorist. Then I went back for a second look and saw that there was also so decent ideas about why the policies are wrong.

To be in a position to have to make decisions about whether someone lives or dies at the hands of terrorism is never where I want to be. Take a minute to look at 9/11, a lot of people lost their lives because of terrorism, 3,000 innocent live taken. Now at first I thought IF I had to make the choice to give into a terrorists demand, my first thought would have been to say "Hell No, we will not give into their demands!! A few must die to save millions." My thoughts were if we give into the demands then that will cause a domino effect with every other terrorist cell thinking they can just come into this country and make demands on us and we will give them what they want.

Then I went back and took a second look and had to rethink my thoughts on the subject. Because of the terrorist attacks on 09/11/2001 we have lost more than the 3,000 lives. We didn't stop there we went looking for the ring leader and have now lost over 3 times that amount. We should have saved those on the plane, because we have accomplished nothing but letting more innocent people die at the hands of terrorist.

So, in conclusion, I think I would have to say that policies are good for certain situations. But when it comes to saving lives the only policy there should be is to save lives. Give them what they want and we will deal with the others as they come about.
