Walking the streets of America is a unique experience because of the diverse atmospheres within each city. From Los Angeles to New York one can find a multi-ethnic multi-religious population who represent all walks of life. America is dynamic and ever changing; a country that is industrious and prosperous, young and powerful. She encompasses the beliefs and traditions of the entire globe and uses democratic means to allow the voices of her people to be heard. America's economy helps to drive the international market and her capitalist corporations have touched every region on the planet. But America is under attack. She is under attack because of her industriousness, because of her economic strength. She is at war, and her people are being assaulted on numerous fronts. Today's world is hostile and America knows this well. After the attacks of 9/11 the United States government implemented legal action in order to prevent and protect the people from further assaults.
[...] The solution I propose to the problem of terrorism in America is one that should be implemented immediately in order save innocent lives from violent criminals who wish to cripple the government and general population of the United States. The solution I propose is that cultural changes be made to the populace to prevent recruitment of Americans into violent organizations who wish to do harm to innocent people. I also propose that these changes be implemented in the international community to prevent attacks in all parts of the globe from crime networks that sympathize and collaborate with al Qaeda and other terrorist groups.

[...] I don't know if Timothy McVeigh was frustrated by his living standards after leaving the military but the injustice he felt may have been healed with such compensatory acts. The war on terrorism has created new threats in the military and al Qaeda sympathizers are not just a problem abroad, but at home in the streets, in the jails, and in the government itself. New strategies are needed to end these threats and money is a key tool that can help to change the culture and living standards of potential terrorists. [...]
[...] Programs for ethics training and implementation, veteran benefit adjustments, and media controlled cultural development are only a few of the necessary tools for preventing terrorism. The bullets and the guns are still important when fighting walking smart bombs, but social demands require money be used in many areas for the war against terrorism to be successful. In a world where people fear their neighbors and condemn their brothers, where war is imminent across the globe, and when the maiming of innocent lives has become normal it is necessary to take action using [...]
[...] By being able to reach the diverse population of America the media can impact a nation wide culture that has been swept into violent ideologies which glorify crime and war. The prison population is proof of America's obsession with crime which is cause for concern since many of the inmates could be potential terrorist recruits. The US Department of Justice reported that in June of 2006 there were 2,245,189 prisoners held in federal or state prisons, or in local jails, and in 2005 over seven million people were on probation, in jail or prison, or on parole.[1]The number of crimes and terrorists acts in today's world is proof that action must be taken to prevent such acts before they ever begin.

[...] The Savings and Loan Scandal, Iran Contra, and the present war in Iraq are examples of how the US government has lied to the citizens and used fraudulent means to affect policies. This mistrust must be erased so that active cooperation between law enforcement and public citizens increases. Military action and policy should also be examined in order to understand the ability to deter terrorism. Timothy McVeigh conducted the largest terrorist act on US soil as an American citizen, and he was ex-military. [...]
