A USA Today author reports on the fragile state that Libya (and other revolutionized countries) face. The author is in support of the U.S.'s diplomatic policy of only sending money, not troops, to Libya during their revolution. The author also wants Europe to lead in the rebuilding and peacemaking in Libya, and urges America to play a politically correct role in support of the Arab Spring.

Fool-proof defense
http://www.idsnews.com/news/story.aspx?id=83644
This editorial by an Indiana newspaper (unknown author) comments on a new Tennessee program that aims to combat highway terrorism by interstate checkpoints and "Visible Intermodal Prevention and Response." The latter calls for truck drivers to use their own discernment in identifying a terrorism, which resembles more as just racial profiling. This author is highly critical of the government's use of national budget in such a ridiculous way and calls for effective government spending.

Libya after the death of terrorism-sponsoring Gaddhafi
http://english.aljazeera.net/indepth/opinion/2011/10/2011102151443683876.html
Gaddhafi unified a tribal nation based off his political theories, mirroring Nasser of Egypt. Since he was killed by Libyan rebels, there is obvious celebration from the majority of Libya, but also from groups concerned over terrorism. Events, such as Lockerbie, showed the terrorist nature of Moammar Gaddhafi. Now that there is one less terrorism-advocator in the world, we should be happy, should we not?

War on Terrorism
http://www.cnn.com/2011/09/30/opinion/husain-awlaki-killing/index.html?hpt=op_t1
In response to the execution of American citizen, Al-Awlaki (who also supported Islamist extremism), Ed Husain criticizes the American government for its illogical and hypocritical decision to kill Americans that oppose their country. Husain makes the argument that the basis of Al-Awlaki's execution violates the "very same principles of human dignity" that America tries to live by.
Husain also points out the irony and counter-productivity of killing a Muslim with close ties to Al-Qaeda. In killing Al-Awlaki, America actually helped the Al-Qaeda cause by publicizing a Muslim martyr; a "Malcolm X" of Muslim culture.
Husain ends his editorial by noting that this war on terrorism cannot be fought with more terror, rather a nonviolent and intellectual approach should be used.
