Hijack: A State of Fear

Hijack!

It takes nothing less of pure bravery for someone to be able to make the ultimate decision over whether or not a group of people live. I believe for any person, of any stature, to make that choice, they would have to have been in a similar situation. I have not been in that situation before, so I would not be able to make a level-headed decision. If anybody with a conscience, had to make that choice in there life-time, there will always be some morality involved. As your sitting there making that big decision, you tend to start thinking about the fact that, all those people all have hopes, dreams, ambitions, kids, family, thoughts, etcetera. Now here you are, your forced to make a choice of, do I really want to take away fifty, or a hundred, or whatever the case maybe, lives?. Do I really want to risk all those lives, just because some little punks made the mistake of hijacking a plane?.

The over all jist of the current U.S. Foreign Policy towards terrorism, is that, we do not negotiate or strike any deals with terrorist or countries that deal with them, we also make them pay for the wrong that they have done, we also apply pressure to any country that supports or works with terrorist, and we also bolster the counterterrorism capabilities of countries that work with the U.S. and need help. There are a few points that I uncovered in the Policy, that I disagree with. I believe, that if innocent lives are at stake, then under special circumstances, we could begin to negotiate with them on some level. I think another problem with the U.S. Foreign Policy towards terrorism, is that, if we had to do bilateral talks with another country regarding terrorist activities, it would be very hard to do so. There are so many rules and regulations out there, that we would have to follow before we could begin to do anything. By the time, we finally came to a decision on what to do, the terrorist would have already fled the country.
