A Study On The Mechanism Of American Government 's Anti - Terrorism Intervention In "September 11"

The United States has always been the loving son of the God. Before9/11occurred, North American is usually a relatively peaceful area in human history. The incident destroys the myths that the security of United States is very solid, making American people perceive that they are not safe and expose the fragility of the U.S government when it tackles the threat of terrorism. After that, the U^S. government recalled a painful experience and reconstruct the anti-terrorism organization, vowing to stick to the anti-terrorism operation. Today, the anti-terrorism operation is getting worse,along with the anti-America terrorism emerge in an endless stream. After9/11, the new national anti-terrorism system ease the threat of the terrorism in some degree and achieve some goals.However, it still has shortcomings.The anti-terrorism of our country has a late start,along with the experience lacked.At the same time, the "three forces" committed terrorist acts constantly,bringing about great harm to the peaceful life of the native. the event of terrorist bombings at the Kunming railway station committed by the East Turkestan terrorists as well as the terrorist activity of driving crazy to crash into the crowd in front of Tian’anmen Gate just happened around us. Because of its organization, violence, and irregularity, we are quite helpless when we face it, and therefore we need the corresponding coping strategy of the government. Learning the advanced experience form the United States can help us to improve the capability of tackling the terrorist activities and avoiding detours in the process.The mechanism of anti-terrorist initiated by the United States’ government is on the basis of laws. After the9/11tragedy, the government of the United States has made some vital laws to ensure the anti-terrorist belongs to legal action, such as,’USA Patriot Act’,’USA Homeland Security Act’ and ’USA Intelligence Reform Act’. With these laws issued, the federal government was reconstructed, U.S. Department of Homeland Security was rebuilt, and the intelligence and anti-terrorist organizations was reformed. Meanwhile, the mechanism of quick reaction has been initiated as well as the capability of anti-terrorist has been strengthened. There are five ways in different levels for the United States to defend their citizens from terrorists. They are ignoring, warning, economic sanctions, targeted elimination and ground attack. There are five steps for the government to be involved in the action of anti-terrorist, data collection, evaluation, warning, and emergency reaction and investigation. There are shortcomings in this mechanism even though its effect is obvious.
