Racial Profiling Necessary Evil or Just Plain Wrong

This article may will irritate or offend many, but in my 18 year experience in law enforcement and anti-terrorism have shown that certain aspects of racial profiling work while others only hinder. I welcome discussion on this matter as this is something that effects so many. Let this be the be an in
itiation to the art of discussion and debate a truly lost art.

In the time since 9/11 our country has changed, not the world as many say, since most of the rest of the world has been dealing with terrorism since post world war II. Though there are many reasons in which people resort to terrorism, there are three main reasons: politics, religion or money. In this article I will discuss all three.

Why Terrorism,

As many Americans learned on 9/11 terrorism is the use is the use of fear and terror to disrupt daily life for gains in any of the three areas. Now to fully comprehend how these methods can be effective we need to move to 2006 when Al Qaeda exploded several bombs throughout Spain to have their troops removed from Iraq. Not mare than a month later the Spanish troops were on their way home. The only problem with this is that once a government gives in to terrorist demands it leaves itself open to further demands and more terror to gain additional territory in the political climate.

Since the Spanish removal of its troops from Iraq the Basque terrorist group ETA has virtually cancelled the cease fire/peace treaty with Spain because many of its more radical factions believe that they can get more concessions of they use more violent actions against Spain, The unwanted consequence that occurs many times is that though they gave in to one group and are now left alone others may use the same tactics to gain ground hence causing a vicious cycle that would never end. This is why not giving in to terrorists is so important.

Terrorism as I mentioned can be used for political, religious or monetary gain. Though the first two are in the spot light the second is the most prevalent in the US today.
