Part 1
Mass media is extremely useful in defining how certain issues are handled in the society. The flow of information in the media has influence various activities and decisions in the past following the sensitivity of the kind of information that members of the society release. However, different people will have variant views on certain issues as they are reported by the mass media. Recently, there have been extensive reports on revolts in North Africa, as well as the Middle East. These reports have led NATO interventions as the solution to the rising levels to a country like Libya.
Based on the driving force to the decision that NATO makes, realists could not have found NATO a favorable move. NATO is a body that is mainly called in when a situation gets out of the hands completely. In such a case, NATO could have invested in massive investigation on what could have been the major cause for war in the various countries. The media could not have been the driving force for NATO interventions in the warring countries.
However, liberals may be expected to report differently. They are individuals who are usually out to fight for civil rights among members of a given community. They also believe in the freedom of the media. Therefore, they believe that what the media reports is a reality and is reliable in making concrete decisions.
The NATO policy was not supposed to be used as the solution to the problem of Libya. This was just an exaggeration of what happened in the country. There were lower cases of denial of human rights in Libya than in other country. The highest population of the country was satisfied with the things as they stood.
However, in Syria NATO is required since the situation is already out of hands. The massive killings of innocent people in the country cannot be assumed. NATO would be the most suitable group to deal with the situation.
Part 2
The 9/11 incidence will remain in the history of the United States. This was a moment when the security of the United Sates was put in the most difficult test. The best country in the world had been attacked by the then world’s most influential terror group known as the al Qaeda. This made the government of the United States, fashion war against terrorism in the world with the main aim being bringing down the al Qaeda terror group. Former president of the United States George Bush began the war against terror in Iraq which was known as the hub for terrorism in the world.
Military actions that were undertaken against Iraq played critical role in the bid to eliminate terrorism. The military presence in Iraq was helpful in keeping terrorists informed that their actions were being monitored. At no point would they have survived for a long time. It acted as an effort to make terrorists regret their past actions that have placed the peace of the country at stake. Camps of terrorists in different countries have been identified and brought down through the military action. For example, Iraq was the home to al Qaeda terrorist group, which was being led by Osama bin Laden. The leader was killed in a raid by the US Military group, which is an indication that military actions would be significant in resolving cases of terrorism. Through exclusive military actions, the United States succeeded in controlling the level of terrorism in the Middle East and rest of the world.
The efforts to fight terrorism in the world by the government of the United States through military action have been of exclusive assistance to the Middle East where terrorism groups hide. Arabs have been mainly associated with the cases of terrorism. Middle East is home to many Arabs and the effort of the American government to ensure proper coexistence among Arabs would make the region one of the most peaceful areas. The intervention by the US military forces has been of exclusive contribution towards the stability of Middle East.
