Article Writing Homework Help

Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Nathan Hale. It needs to be at least 500 words. Terrorism: The Unsettled Legacy of Nathan Hale While the actions of our allies may be seen as courageous and bold, the opponent will view them as atrocious acts of terrorism. It has often been said that, “One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter”. While this is a minimum definition that seems to often fit, it reduces the vital importance and clear understanding of what a terrorist is. It is critical to understand and identify what a terrorist is and what makes up a terrorist organization. There needs to be some level of universal agreement to insure international cooperation when the war against our enemies strays beyond the conventional armies. To be able to identify a terrorist, we must be able to define the terrorist whether it is an individual, an organization, or a sponsoring state.

Freedom fighters are generally defined as a local organization, possibly military or pari-military, that is fighting a military force that is believed to be illegally occupying the local territory (Ash 2001). Freedom fighters were instrumental in impeding Nazi aggression across Europe during WWII. Guerrilla warfare is fought by small bands of irregular soldiers usually against an oppressive government in their own country, and generally restricts its targets to military and government facilities.

The FBI, CIA, State Department, and United Nations all agree that to attain the label of terrorist they must target the civilian population (Beres n.d.). It may be an individual, a group, an organization, or a country that funds and advocates terrorism. Terrorism must use misappropriated violence or the threat of violence against the civilian populace to alarm or intimidate a government.
