About Lane
Expertise
As an informed Moderate, who most often leans Conservative Republican, I can answer essentially any question on any issue that faces America, or the world, namely issues that are hot topics in the political ring. From social issues like abortion to broader issues like The War on Terror, I am here to give you straight forward answers to help you better understand the political landscape. Fortunately, I am able to look at situations objectively. There are areas where I disagree with the Conservative base and times where, because of my moderate stance, display slightly more Liberal views - depending on the issue, of course.

Experience
I do extensive research into the area and closely follow most stories which have political relevance and publicize my opinions in a clean, informative way.

Organizations
Vice President of local Key Club chapter.

Education/Credentials
Although I still attend High School, I am no less equipped to answer political questions because I devote much of my time to politics (much more than your average teen)I watch carefully what goes on in the political arena, I ask questions and challenge those in charge. I get to the truth and stay away from ignorant partisan politics.

Awards and Honors
Although not necessarily relevant I receive straight A's in school and maintain a constant 4.0 GPA.

Conservatives - global terrorism


Expert: Lane - 11/11/2008

Question
What are the causes of Global Terrorisn ?

Answer
Thank you for your question. It is a very broad one, but a very good one. While there is no specific origin of terrorism, a catalyst can be identified. Let us first look at the definition of "terrorism." The US Department of Defense describes it as "the unlawful use of -- or threatened use of -- force or violence against individuals or property to coerce or intimidate governments or societies, often to achieve political, religious, or ideological objectives."

So, now that we know what terrorism is (global terrorism being terrorism on a world-scale) we can identify the cause. Since terrorism is often used to achieve political or religious objectives, we can logically assume that the cause is a disagreement between two groups of people. These people, when they act on their differences in a violent manner, becomes terrorists.

Example: On September 11th, 2001, Muslim terrorists hijacked airplanes and crashed them into prominent US buildings. The best guess we have for WHY they did this is because of the differences between our cultures, religions and politics.

This is of course a very concise summary, but I do hope I was able to answer you question. If not, please feel free to ask a follow-up. Thank you and have a good day!
