Local Terror - Global Terror

The NYT publishes today (Fighting Locally, Fighting Globally - by SCOTT SHANE, 07/16/06) an interesting article about the duality of current terrorism, which spreads sometimes as a single network but has many local motivations independents one from the others.

One of the citation refers to a book by University of Chicago' professor Robert A. Pape ("Dying to Win: The Strategic Logic of Suicide Terrorism"). The analysis that that book explains found that that 95 percent of attacks worldwide were motivated by resentment of the presence of foreign combat troops. However, intelligence information can not be kept secret regardless of the fact is one of the main purposes of those Agencies. A supranational body should be appointed to fight terrorism. Al Qaida and the global terrorism that has triggered its practices needs another way to deal with it that the used in the past decades for local terrorism. We live in another world now, and we need to learn how to live on it.
