Uniting Against Terror argues that defeating the global terrorist threat requires engaging international financial, diplomatic, intelligence, and defense communities and law enforcement organizations in an atmosphere of cooperation. It examines cooperative diplomatic and economic policies to address the changing face of terrorism and the global Al Qaida threat, differentiates between protective measures and long-term preventive policies, and makes recommendations for effective cooperative nonmilitary strategies. Included are chapters that analyze the UN and its role, the unique blend of sanctions and diplomacy that convinced Libya to end its support of terrorism, efforts to halt the financing of terrorist networks, and an account of the European Union's unified "Plan of Action" against terrorism.

Nov 26, 2008: Bombay attacked like never before!! Who is to blame??
All of us are responsible for what’s happening today!! As long as we tolerate terror from our politicians in the name of religion and state boundaries, we permit this kind of terrorism to exist!! Terror must stop no matter how small.. we have got to stop being tolerant and "celebrating our 'spirit' of moving on"!!!
Today we are shocked, stunned, horrified!! Everyone is condemning the terror!! And tomorrow, in the name of the indomitable spirit of Bombay, we will move on!! It will be remembered as just another tragedy!! When are we going to say ENOUGH is ENOUGH!! When are we going to stand up and say we won't take it anymore!! It’s NOT just another tragedy!! It's NOT just a few more lives lost!! When are we truly going to care enough to stop “moving on” and do something!! Be it an attack on any city, state or country!! Be it an attack on Hindus, Muslims or Christians!! Be it an attack by Hindus, Muslims or Christians!! Terror has no religion and no justification!! It’s an attack on humanity!! It’s an attack against all of us!! Let’s unite and stand up for ZERO TOLERANCE no matter how small the terror!!
ACT AS IF WHAT YOU DO MAKES A DIFFERENCE! IT DOES!
Pakistan is slipping deeper by the day into political, economic, ethnic and religious chaos.
The Pakistani Taliban control most of the tribal areas bordering Afghanistan and have seized Swat, a valley 100 miles from Islamabad. Electricity and food shortages have sparked unrest and stalled industrial production, and the stock market has dropped more than 60 percent while the Pakistani rupee has fallen 30 percent against the dollar in the past year.
Meanwhile, the coalition government led by President Asif Ali Zardari, mired in infighting and incompetence, has failed to unite around a strategy to contain the crisis, and some U.S. and Pakistani experts warn that there's a growing danger that Pakistan could have its fifth military coup since it won its independence from Britain in 1947.
"The civilian leadership is weak and fearful of the inevitable in Pakistan, that it oversteps the mark and runs the risk of being removed (by the Army)," said Rashed Rahman, a political analyst based in Lahore. "It is a non-functional government. There is no legislative program. Parliament was always a talking shop in Pakistan, but they have taken it to new heights."
