National
National efforts to combat terrorism are the
most important because national efforts help to define society’s stance against
terrorism. For example, in the Taliban-Ruled Afghanistan, the Taliban
encouraged the use of terror against the west, and even decided to hide Osama
within Afghanistan. As a result, society would in turn accept such values and
this will allow terrorism to grow. However, if governments define terrorism as
undesirable and dangerous, society would think twice before accepting
terrorists’ ideologies, especially if laws are enacted against acts of terror.
When compared with International/Regional efforts, national efforts are much
more effective as they can be legally binding and have a much more profound
impact on society due to a close relation between national governments and the
country as opposed to international bodies and the country. Therefore, national
efforts to curb terrorism are the most important.
International
International Cooperation to combat terrorism is
the most important because international cooperation transcends borders. In an
increasingly globalized world, terrorist organizations are networking with
other organizations from distant countries to plan and execute attacks
together. Furthermore, terrorists can often escape from a country into another
country. This increases the needs for countries to cooperate with each other to
bring down the network of terrorism. National efforts are insufficient as
terrorists can move to other countries for safe havens. Even society’s efforts
are not enough as only when nations exchange information with each other and
work together can terrorism be effectively curbed.
