Terrorism remains to be a problem today because terrorist use violence and cruelty to get what they want it must be stopped.

Religion and/or pride in your country can be another reason.

Analysis

As seen by the graph terrorism is only getting worse.

Over 1,441 people died from terrorist attacks in 2004 alone, this needs to end.

Solution for Terrorism

International Counter-Terrorist Agency- This would include many things like counter-terrorist “commando” units from around the world, a specialized team who knows how to deal with the politics of terrorism and where to spot a attack before it happens.

Predictions for Terrorism

Terrorism will continue to be a problem as long as there are people with violent extremist ideals.

If the world “Counter-Terrorist Agency” were imposed we could see a extreme drop in terrorist activity.

How to implement the solution.

Many countries would have to support this idea and give a large budget to fund this Agency.

It would have to have a large support basis to have it work out.
