The Effects of Terrorist Financing
What are the effects of terrorist financing? The obvious answer is that people intending to harm to a country or a society will have the funds to do so, through money laundering scams and illegal, illicit and immoral means. But something happened today, that is also in part, an effect of what has been happening in the United States, and in all of the countries of the world for many years. A man won the Nobel Peace Prize.
The effects of the cruelty and the complete disregard for the value of human life, are causing the people of the world to stand up, and to have hope. For when faced with such devastation that terrorist acts produce, people will join together and become stronger as a result. I am an American woman, and I just watched President BarackObama’s acceptance speech, and I sit here now with tears in my eyes.
I heard a snippet from a radio talk show previous to watching President Obama on CNN.com, and the host was questioning the reasons the President was bestowed with this award. He claimed that President Obama has not accomplished anything yet which merits such a prestigious honor. But I bet to differ. No that is not right, I do not beg to differ, I demand to differ. Something happened for the country of the United States and for all of the nations in the world less than a year ago, when Senator Barack Obama became President Barack Obama.
Walking through the streets of my city the following day I noticed that people had a different look in their eyes. No longer were they filled with dread about the future, but with hope and a sense that a true and just nation had returned. Personal achievements in one’s lifetime should be honored and recognized. So too, should it be honored and recognized when the ideas of one man, cause nations to find inspiration and the hope of a better world that could be. What could be, is just as important, in some ways more so, that what has been. I honor my President, and I congratulate him.
