Hi, need to submit a 1500 words essay on the topic Terrorism 9/11 the UK and other democracies.

Therefore, “democratic and human rights-based response to terrorism is necessary if we are not to be drawn back to the violence and brutality of previous eras” (The International Summit On Democracy 2005). Governments do respond to terrorism with a series of innumerable approaches but recognizing ‘what works’ is the most significant task. The United Kingdom responded to the atrocities of the September 11 2001 by introducing the Anti-Terror, Crime and Security Act 2001 (The Muslim Council Of Britain 2004). The United Kingdom is facing serious threats constantly from the al Qaeda (Foreign Affairs Committee 2005) The brutal acts of 11 September 2001 has added further to the threats making it more difficult to handle (Foreign Affairs Committee 2005) Another heinous act, the recent suicide car bomb attack on a theatre crowded with Westerners in Doha, Qatar has roused more alarm (Foreign Affairs Committee 2005) Iraq has taken up the place of Afghanistan in offering a dangerous training ground to the terrorists (Foreign Affairs Committee 2005) The issue that is bothering the UK is that the neighbouring states of Iran and Syria are neither putting sufficient efforts to discourage terrorism in Iraq and Israel and nor are they availing themselves of the aid offered by the UK government in abolishing terrorism (Foreign Affairs Committee 2005) The issue has already been raised with the Syrian Foreign Minister in October 2004 and the Secretary General of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, Hassan Rouhani, in December 2004 (Foreign Affairs Committee 2005). The United Kingdom ranks amongst the most active Member States in offering information to Europol (House Of Lords 2005).
