Explain how "War against Terrorism" affects the structure of civil society. What are the issues associated with defense in depth as related to international terrorism?
What will be an ideal response?
• Combating terrorism is not simply a matter of taking a battle to an enemy; it involves the preservation and protection of social order.
• Changes in how war is fought affect the structure of civil society.
• Jihadists believe they can use any method for disrupting their enemies' societies; the target of terrorism is social order.
• Terrorists fight against the way a group of people live.
• Terrorism attacks civil society and civilian targets.
• Defending against terrorism implies that military force must extend beyond the military – to defend against terrorism, a nation or culture must use civil defense.
• The idea of defense in depth is that all levels of society must become involved in homeland security.
• Defense in depth is designed to protect a community fighting for its way of life.
• In this instance, the community wants to fight for its existence, which implies that all members of the community are committed to a similar goal.
• At some point violence serves to justify violence.
• Defense in depth may require citizens to alter the way they live and sacrifice the comforts of everyday life.
• What about domestic terrorism? It seems to be inferred that all terrorism is international terrorism and domestic is not really addressed in these answers.
