Then, address three (3) of

- Explain if you think that global terrorism can be
stopped.

to be the world's "policeman."

vital to U.S. economy and national security.
- If the United States withdrew its troops from the

prevent terrorism. Are there other possible alternatives? Which strategy
is best and why?
