Is the world becoming a more dangerous place to live? Today, Al-Shabab, an Islamic terrorist organization centered in Somalia has joined forces with the terrorist organization al-Qaeda. Both organizations wreak havoc on non-Islamic communities in the Middle-East and Northern Africa. This merger can mean nothing but trouble, with many Islams still angry over the death of Ossama Bin-Laden, I suspect many more innocent lives will be taken in the months to come. Al-Shabab, which is currently fighting to take over the war torn country of Somolia, which is being supported currently by the United States, will now have more dangerous arms at their disposal. Al-Shabab has infact already received training from members of al-Qaeda reportedly meaning their memebrs will be more capabale of pulling off deadly attacks on the very fragile country. I fear the war on terrorism has just become a much bigger war to fight and it will be a long time until we can put down what I call this "uprising of bullies". Terrorists are basically bullies, in all meanings of the word. They can't present a formal argument to convince people to share their interests, and instead force people to conform to their views via violence, threats, murder, and bombings. The U.S., has the power to surpress (wipe out) them, but I believe we are civil enough and humane enough not to just kill off thousands of people and rather try and civilly (spelling?) sway them onto the right path. I fear though, since many politicians don't want to touch on that subject to get elected into office because the public doesn't seem to enjoy getting on this subject. So it will probobly be meany years
