Terror memorials show the intention to honor and remember those fellow countrymen who have lost their lives in scenes of blasts. For us to emerge victorious in the Global War on Terror Memorial, governments should come together on the same endeavor. It is because a lot of people have died in the hands of evil men and women performing the attacks.

The bloody scenes left after blast attacks have made nations to adopt new policies to stop activities that jeopardize national security. Hence, there will significant decrease to situations where people will have to gather for memorials. This would imply that the financial input that will be channeled towards memorial monuments will be now put to good use in other areas of national interest.

The use of drone attacks in the military attacks in Islamic nations by the west to suppress the effect of extremist has been a bone of contention between these conflicting forces. Declaring a halt in drone attacks has been viewed as a move to end the increased retaliations by the Al-Qaeda to counter the infiltration caused by the United States. An end to drones will stop the need of Al-Qaeda leaders to recruit many new members to their front at a high rate than we can kill them.

Jihadists continue to add to their efforts to cause security instability because some members fail to escape the long arm of the law. Upon arrest they hold them without charges as they are not given a chance to undergo a court trial process. Governments are then viewed to be hypocritical in their administration of justice. Terrorists resent this. In return, they avenge them by attacking innocent lives. To end this, perpetrators should face trial.

During airstrikes by the United States on the Middle East soil many innocent lives are lost. This has made the citizens in these nations to develop the notion that the US does not value their right to life. And in cases where compensation programs have been made, they are often not adequate. The West should therefore apologize and attend to those seeking redress to because of their maimed loved ones as a result of indiscriminate attacks.

National governments usually deploy military personnel and fight contractors to areas believed to be hiding areas of terrorist groups. The feeling of insecurity plays in when they notice that their peace is jeopardized. This prompts them to seek access to target nations where they cause serious bloodshed through bomb blasts. This situation would be well controlled if the troops are ordered out of those areas.

Support of dictatorship and repressive governments by first world nations in their political endeavors make the target groups to seek more ways of strengthening their troops. For example, the arms treaty signed between Saudi Arabia and the US. The former sent tanks to hinder peaceful demonstrations in Bahrain. This action by the United States has made potential terrorists to take up arms in order to retaliate to this injustice. Disregarding such treaties is a courageous step to end terrorism.

To end the frequent bombings that bring about death and pain into lives of innocent civilians, states are urged to ensure that they adhere to the international rule of law. This is not the case with most nations who upon arresting alleged terrorists they carry out their secret killings. Due to these prejudicial exterminations of group members, other terror attacks are made to avenge those killed without trial.
