2010 Year is the Micro-Terrorism

By: Mike Davis

This year the economy - sluggish economic recovery, the European crisis, stimulus plan, tax cuts, a budget debate. Little foreign policy news. So called "on terrorism" may sound very strange. But it is.

"Over the past 9 months, attempted to launch attacks against the United States the number and pace than any previous year, the number of the year." This is the May 2010 Department of Homeland Security in the words of the report. October 2010, cargo planes bombing confirms this. This phenomenon occurs not only in the United States. Russian news agencies reported that the 2010 terrorist attacks against Russian territory, has doubled.

In the past year, we see a rise of new types of war: micro-terrorism, it can be defined as small-scale terrorism, the implementation of those choices is not the biggest or the most compelling action, but the success of those expected action. It is by the "base" branch of the organization created, it is unclear whether bin Laden and Ayman al-Zawahiri during the command. But even if they are nothing to do with these activities, it is not comforting. It just emphasizes the core characteristics of a micro-terrorism: it is not the High Command, but the rise from the bottom.

In the "base" organization's new online magazine "incentives" in its editorial explained the rationale behind the micro-terrorism. They said: "We do not need large-scale combat." "Against the enemy ... ... bleeding to death in order to make the enemy", which is what they call "thousand knives strategy" strategy. "Incentive" in launching another article cited the "bleeding action" - that is, cargo plane bombing - the cost: two telephones, two printers, and freight, a total of $ 4,200.

"Base" organization which is hiding in plain sight. The organization had always thought that if opponents want to be treated as seriously, it must plan and implement large-scale operations. Now, as in Afghanistan and Pakistan hit a row of funds are monitored, the leaders being UAV attack, "base" organization has decided to concentrate on a series of small attacks to disrupt the lives of the West.

It is worth noting that terrorism is unlikely to inspire great action that shocked the world. Act alone, even if successful, will not have much impact. But this idea is more likely that the response of existing technologies, rather than accurate predictions of the future. Micro-terrorism sweep to bet on a powerful force in the world: the democratization of technology. We have seen in all parts of the forces are transferred from large institutions to individuals. Technology allows people to influence these institutions turned to their own, resulting in effects similar to judo.

Micro-terrorism is a fundamentally asymmetric. It uses its own "small" and the resulting difficult to detect or control advantage. It is from Afghanistan, a country like Yemen and Somalia launched; when the U.S. tried to enter these sparsely populated areas to attack the enemy, they were hard to find them. So the U.S. quickly became a steady schedule of the country and support - for nation-building. In these places, this is a hard work, the terrorists have chosen these places is precisely because there is order and the development of a black hole. Terrorists have to do is hide and mail letter bombs.
