Outside forces affect movement in War on Terror
Terrorism is still striking, harder and lighter.

Summary: Recently, the outiside U.S. dilemmas have pushed the War on Terror to the backburner as the economy has been the main fear. However, terrorism is still striking. Torture in Guatemano Bay has pushed its way to the top of concerns as recent investigations showed that human rights are being neglected. Three NATO soldiers and sixteen civilians have also died in Afghanistan by attacks of Al Qaeda. Al Qaeda is losing momentum as recent mountaining deaths causes Taliban leaders to split with Al Qaeda in an overall quest for peace.
Analysis: In recent years, the focus has been on the War on Terror for United States citizens. With recent events, it has been outshined and placed on the back burner. This is a problem becaue the American people are still at risk, and this threat hasn't been noticed. Around the world, other attacks have bombarded new countries causing not only the United States to be at risk, but many other places around the world, as well. As a positive note, though, the Taliban split from Al Qaeda giving them less power and hopefully will eliminate the multitude of attacks. In conclusion, US citizens need to wake up and notice the threat at hand, along with new countries around the world.
