The Name For for Terrorism
According to the Code of Federal Regulations and the website : http://www.hks.harvard.edu/ksgpress/bulletin/autumn2001/feature_terror_facts.html
There is no single, universally accepted definition of terrorism. It is defined as “�the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.” (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85)

September 11 attacks
We all should remember the attacks on the World Trade Towers on September 11. this was a triadic day in the worlds history. But beneath all of the ashes was the worst terrorist plan and attack to this present day. on that day it was recorded that aapproximately 3,000 (including 19 hijackers) people were killed on this day and a nother near 6000 people injured. The FBI thinks that the mastermind behind these attacks was led by Osama Bin Laden a extreme Islamic terrorist.
Sadly we will never forget this day.

Did you know (#1)
Did you know, ( according to the site answerbag.com) that on average 70 Americans each year die as a result of a terrorist attack. This was shocking to think about the amount of people dieing from a type of death that i and I think many of you think really only happens on the other side of the world.
Hu... Interesting. Think about it.

The Numbers
As I have said many times, terrorism is a terrible thing that cant be stoped. Although we try this is such a powerful act that is almost impossible to bring to an end. Canadians have tried in Afghanistan to bring peace to the people but sadly a total of 154 Canadian Forces personnel have been killed in the war since 2002. A number that unfortunately will most likely continue to rise.

how does it effect us- Mentaly
Terrorism, as I mentioned in my last post can effect us in 3 major ways in this post, I will talk about how it effects us mentally.
If such a terrible event happens to us, it changes our life forever. we never feel the same again and our life will never be the same. if something like 9/11 happens and effects someone you know you will never feel the same about a certain thing. You may for example lose trust in a certain type of people, in this case the Taliban. Maybe you will never now be up to flying on an airplane. This could leave you never seeing family members in years and possibly never. Because of these effects that focus in on your mind and soul, you could be leaded into the terrible state of depression. Depression is a serious condition that in some cases can lead to death.
Terrorism is a terrible thing which sadly can not be stoped, all we can do is fight through it and try to live a normal life, but this can be very hard to do.

How does this effect us- Emotionaly
Terrorism is a terrible thing, the effects can be brutal and lives will never be the same. One effect of this terrible thing is being hurt emotionally. Its a type of pain like no other.
When people whiteness encounter and feel terrorism they don't feel whole they as if a part of them has been riped off of them. There .are many ways that people can describe this and one of the names is emotionally. After a terrible event like the attacks of 9/11 many people were effected. loved ones were lost and lives were torn apart. When things like this happen to people they don't feel the same, they feel as if their lives are over and nothing can ever and will ever be the same. if there was no terrorism in the world more people will be whole and lives will go on happy. In my opinion, being emotionally effected by terrorism is the worst way. In most cases there is no cure and nothing that can replace what has been lost. It is a pain like no other a pain that cant be fixed by band- Adi's or Advil, it is the type of pain that hits the heart, mind, body and soul. It hits it hard and in some cases can never be heeled.
