Abstract
This paper gives a brief review of literature pertinent to the subject of terrorism and then presents a theoretical model to explain the difference in the terrorism of Israel and the terrorism of Saudi Arabia. It examines the phenomenon of terrorism and what it means in the world today, in particular, in terms of two Middle Eastern countries, Saudi Arabia and Israel. Furthermore, the study posits that state-sponsored terrorism is widespread in both Saudi Arabia and Israel, and evidence is provided to support this hypothesis. After all of this information is presented, the issue of terrorism in these two countries and its interpretation is discussed.
From the Paper
"Another report, by the Middle East Forum, also argues that the traditionally solid ground between Saudi Arabia and the US has weakened recently, as evidence of Saudi Arabia?s state sponsored terrorism has come to light, for instance, the fact that the Saudi royal family give money to Bin Laden in order to ensure they are not killed by al-Qaeda, and the fact that Prince Badar?s private jet was used to evacuate twelve members of the Bin Laden family who were living in the US, following the events of 9/11 (Murawiec, 2002). Murawiec (2002) says that ?Bin Laden is an extension of the Saudi Royal Family?, and that as such, the US has made the correct decision in not keeping up diplomatic relations."

The new "weapon" is a computer linked to a network and the ammunition is codes.

Abstract
This paper reviews and discusses how, since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the entire world has had to reconsider its view of terrorism, the approach to dealing with terrorism, and enhanced anti-terrorism techniques.
Outline:
Introduction
A Balanced Approach to Policy on Terrorism?
The Effect on the United States of Current Terrorism Trends
Primary Issues in a Broad Front to Prevent and Counter Terrorism.
Summary
From the Paper
"The proliferation of terrorism in poor countries, and its effects on the U.S., is valid. For example, many of the Middle Eastern nations are extremely poor, and the motivation of the people is often religious as opposed to financial (sacred versus secular, if you will). In a twisted interpretation of ancient religions such as Islam, there are those who feel that they are not only doing the will of God by conducting acts of terror on "infidels" such as the citizens of the U.S.,but also that they will be providing for their families because of the huge financial rewards thatwealthy terrorist leaders, such as Osama Bin Laden, promise to the benefactors of a terrorist if or she gives their life to kill Americans, such as in the 9/11 attacks."

Abstract
How do terrorist threats challenge the current international legal framework? Should the current framework of international humanitarian law be altered? This paper reviews existing international law, challenges to those laws, how countries have responded to terrorism vis-a-vis the implementation of new laws, the justifications used by countries to side-step existing laws, and more.
From the Paper
"In the event that national courts prefer not to assume the role of investigating and prosecuting criminals connected with terrorist acts, other jurisdictions may become involved. One, the Security Council of the UN, under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, "has broad powers to take measures for international peace and security." Also, there is the International Court of Justice (ICJ), a court associated with the United Nations, and the International Criminal Court (ICC). According to its charter statement - the "Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court" - this court was set up on July 17, 1998, by a coalition of 120 states participating in the "United Nations Diplomatic Conference of Plenipotentiaries on the Establishment of an International Criminal Court.""

The paper concludes by explaining how international terrorism is distinguished by three distinctive characteristics.
Outline:
Introduction
The Late 1960s
South America
Vietnam
The Cold War Era of the United States and Russia
The 1970s
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Acts of international terrorism can be traced as far back as 1931, with the first documented hijacking of an airline passenger jet in Peru. However, depending upon how you define "international terrorism," international terrorism might be traced even further back, during the Christian crusades in the Holy Land. There was, too, the French Revolution, which was preceded by acts of violence committed by covert agents of change. The American Revolution was effectuated in large part by covert agents acting against British law and authority and perpetrating acts of violence against the British soldiers."

International Terrorism, 2006.
This paper looks at how, in order to fight terrorism and prevent acts of terrorism, we must create a comprehensive definition of terrorism.

Abstract
This paper addresses the problem in creating a comprehensive definition of terrorism, noting that defining terrorism more clearly is a beginning point for further discussion. How the term is defined can determine what solutions are offered. International terrorism creates particular problems because what is seen as terrorism in one context or by one particular observer may not be seen that way by another.
From the Paper
"Terrorism is a label for various forms of political violence directed at a civilian population by a non-military group trying to spread terror in order to force some political end. Americans more and more use the term as short-hand for attacks by Muslim groups, but terrorism around the world may have nothing to do with a specific religious group or political structure at all. The target of terrorism has often been the West, but terrorism can be directed at any regime that some group wants to influence. The approach taken is to frighten the populace in order to force the government to capitulate to some demand, even to the extent of demanding a complete change not merely of leadership but of the very form of government and of political ideology."

Abstract
This paper discusses diplomacy and international relations with particular regard to official face-to-face talks held recently by representatives of the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran. The paper discusses the contradictory nature of the foreign policies agendas of the two nations and concludes that the recent face-to-face talks were little more than a superficial public relations stunt and will have little if any impact on combating international terrorism.
From the Paper
"In conclusion, the first official face to face talks in thirty years between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran generated a lot of media attention and speculation, but they are unlikely to produce any meaningful progress in dealing with international terrorism because of the diametrically opposed worldviews of these two nations. Iran and the United States have incompatible foreign policy agendas--the Bush Administration is implacably opposed to any expansion of Iranian influence in the Middle East and the Teheran government is implacably opposed to the expansion of American influence in the region. Consequently, the recent face to face talks were little more than a superficial public relations stunt and will have little if any impact on combating international terrorism."

International Terrorism, 2007.

Abstract
This paper attempts to take an even-handed approach to understanding international terrorism. The author presents three examples of terrorism and shows why an organization would resort to terrorist activities. The types of terrorism discussed by the paper include ideological terrorism, terrorism for the liberation of an oppressed minority and state sponsored terrorism. The author concludes that international terrorism is motivated by an organization's inability to use traditional, accepted, and legitimate channels of activity to accomplish the political, ideological, or religious goals of the group.
From the Paper
"An example of ideological terrorism, the Baader-Meinhof group in Germany became a leading left wing group in West Germany. As West Germany was dominated by United States notions of democracy, the left wing Red Army Faction was thus going against the grain of society. Described by government forces as a terrorist group, it saw itself a military group who was forced to rely on urban guerilla tactics to achieve their aim. The roots of the organization were those who were originally students, but the opposition grew as Communism was outlawed and many ex-Nazi right-wingers came to assume political office. This growing threat of right wing influences in the government motivated the youth as did a series of inciting events including a death of a student, shot by a member of the military. The rising tension led to a strong left opposition and a right counter-response which led to the formation of the Red Army Faction. After training with the PLO, the Red Army Faction returned to stop the urban imperialistic course of Germany instigating a series of bank robberies and arson attacks. The actions of the Red Army faction culminated in the German Autumn in 1977 in which there were substantial amounts of deaths, an important hi-jacking with Arab ties, and the ultimately resulted in the death of many of the key members of the Baader-Meinhof Group. This time was a time of fear among Germans after World War II. The objectives were never clear, but the group was in opposition to the right wing tendencies of West German and was in support of a more leftist government. Thus it was an ideological war being fought that resulted in failure as there was fear, but not substantial gains made by the Red Army Faction. "

Abstract
This well-researched paper opens with a comprehensive and historic look into both the American and British law enforcement agencies. The writer of this paper traces the origins of the British Sheriff's office back to the Norman Conquest which took place in 1066. This paper delves into the significant increase of international terrorism while focusing on the effectiveness of various law enforcement agencies in America and around the world in combating this growing problem. This paper discusses the views and opinions of several historians regarding the increase and decrease of crime and terror from the medieval times and up to the present. The writer of this paper examines specific historic events and their resulting impact on global terrorism including the fall of the Soviet Union, the Cold War and the 9/11 terror attacks. This paper analyzes the manner in which the Bush Administration moved to establish additional intelligence and enforcement cooperation among the existing agencies in order to more effectively face terrorist threats such as al-Qaida. This paper contains detailed and in-depth historical facts and dates relevant to this particular topic. This paper also examines the manner in which recent advancements and progress in technology are assisting law enforcement agencies around the world to thwart off potential threats of terror.
From the Paper
"Various historians have offered various different reasons for the unexpected decrease in the crime rate during the comparatively modern times, and there were some who assumed that perhaps it was industrialization and urbanization and modernization that contributed to this phenomenon. There were some other scholars and researchers who theorized that in actuality crime had not diminished, but had in fact shifted form bodily assaults that were popular in those times, to crimes that were more or less closely related to property, which also indicated that the nature of crime had shifted from an innate scarcity and paucity, to a greater prosperity as well as a free availability of material goods and possessions during modern times. There is also another form of opinion, which states that the decrease in crime seemed to have happened irrespective of industrialization and urbanization."

Abstract
The following paper discusses the practical and symbolic significance of Social Security. The writer argues that the main reason social security is facing long-term insolvency is because the population is aging. This paper examines studies that claim that by 2030 there will be exclusively two active workers for every one retiree. The writer discusses the fundamental demographic shift that will occur when fewer and fewer workers will be contributing payroll taxes to support more and more retired individuals.
From the Paper
"To finance the current level of benefits, payroll taxes for the Old Age Survivors and Disability Insurance portion of the FICA tax would have to be increased from the current 12.4 percent to 18 percent. The long-term shortage in the OASDI trust fund is about 2 percent of payroll, which is approximately a $32 billion annual deficit in today's dollars. The Social Security trust funds have been building up surpluses in anticipation of baby boomers' retirement needs. These surpluses, however, help mask the true size of the federal deficit. In fact, the trust funds are projected to pay out $18.6 trillion in benefits over the next 75 years but collect only $9.8 trillion in income from taxes, leaving an unfunded liability of $8.8 trillion. Beginning in the year 2012, the trust funds will begin to experience negative cash flows. By 2029, OASDI will be insolvent; able to pay only 77 percent of promised benefits. "

From the Paper
"Israel truly has a strong military presence in the Middle East. This presence has been felt by Arab nations during various wars. The Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) found that terrorist acts were the best means for attacking Israel. Under the leadership of Yasser Arafat, the PLO waged considerable attacks on Israel throughout the years. Israel fought back and weakened the PLO on numerous occasions. However, Arafat regrouped and obtained various allies such as German terrorists to bring the PLO to the forefront of international terrorism. This power has subsided with Arafat conducting peace talks; however, other terrorist groups have taken the place of the PLO."

"TERRORISM AND BANKING SECURITY
Introduction
This research examines probable impacts on banking practices of security-related changes induced by the current climate of terrorism. One might believe that terrorism-related impacts would be limited to inconveniences brought about by the need for enhanced security. Some impacts may be little more than aggravations. Other impacts, however, will be far more fundamental for people accustomed to living in a free and open society (Donohue, 2001). These impacts also will affect the practice of banking in the United States (Berlau, 2001). This study examines the probable effects of terrorism on banking in relation to specific issues (e.g., privacy, data pooling, and so forth) and specific aggravating causes (e.g., globalization in banking, ..."
