Sabotage has nothing to do with any religious denomination. Islam included.
It is the deliberate wrecking of infrastructure.
Yes and no. Many terrorists have been killed. The US capability to attack terrorists has been increased vastly. The US is less vulnerable to many different types of attacks. Terrorists have been forced to think of different tactics to attack. Different countries have been forced to stop supporting terrorists in their own national interest. Osama Bin Laden is dead.
However, the war has created a new generation of people who hate America, and has vastly diminished US' diplomatic standing in the world. The ability of the US to gather ground information from friendly informants has been compromised. Many countries have been playing both sides, stating an intent to do harm to terrorists, but basically taking military and financial aid from the Western world with no real intent to fight terrorism.
Are Labradors used as bomb sniffer dogs by bomb squads?
In my opinion the best type of dog used for specialty squads like bomb squads and so on, are called Springer Spaniels.
BTW: Through my opinion and research over the internet, i have not seen any results of labradors being used for specialty groups/squads in anyway, it is just they are not as good as Springer Spaniels as they are good at searching for items and finding things out.
Thank you for posting this question, i have answered it the best i could, with my own opinion and internet/research time.
Does HR 1388 let Hamas into the US?
Absolutely not.
The above is a reference not to a law, but a letter authorizing the disbursement of funds already generally allocated for such emergency relief for refugees. It's been related to H.R. 1388 (H.B. or HB 1388 in many instances) through a chain email rumor that's been thoroughly debunked.
Please see the Related Links below to read the content of the actual bill or the sites fact-checking and debuking it.
The very definition of the word explains what it is and why it exists:Terrorism is the use of threat or violence mainly as a means of forcing others to do what one wishes. Another way to look at it is 'political bullying'.
It is an extremely useful military-type maneuver and it's effect always gets the attention of the opponent.
Terrorism and terrorist are words used by a sitting government to describe those that strongly disagree with them and use tactics that, in many cases, are the only ones open to them. It does not have to include violence but often does.
It should also be remembered that terrorists become freedom fighters when they win.
There are many examples of terrorist who became freedom fighters, perhaps the best known today is Nelson Mandela and the ANC.

Why did Hezbollah not assist the Palestinians during the Gazan War of 2008?
Answer 1
Hezbollah are based in Lebanon, although in reality they are from Iran and are of Iranian nationality. They live and work in Lebanon. Hezbollah is a milita and despite what most people believe, Hezbollah does not have absolute power over governments. That is, even Hezbollah and other militas can only do what the governments will allow them to do.The current Gaza crisis now in January 2009 is very similar to the Lebanon invasion of 2006. And it has been reported that other governments have not done anything to stop the Israeli bombing of Gaza. Hamas is also not helping the people in Gaza either. Also Gaza cannot be reached easily by other countries, as to get there one has to go Israel, and this is difficult. As Israel does not allow a lot of people into the country, people with Syrian or Lebanese passports and with passports from most other countries Arab and others who are not at peace with Israel or have not signed a peace treaty. Egypt and Jordan have, but even citizens of those countries cannot get into Israel. Egypt has closed its borders with Israel and Israel won't let anybody in or out now. Hezbollah and other militas cannot get into Israel anymore than anybody else can. They and other militas have been forbidden by the Lebanese government from intervening in any way.The Iranian government, who originally created Hezbollah, fears that if Hezbollah or other militas get involved in any way with the currant crisis, Israel will invade Lebanon again or even invade Iran or other Arab countries. As mentioned Hezbollah cannot go against the government,and also the country, Israel and Gaza is closed to outsiders.There for entry into or out of by the militas is impossible. Other governments want to help, but Israel is closed even to other governments. The Israelis have killed and arrested innocent people trying to help aid workers and reporters. So Gaza is out of reach for everybody and people in Gaza are trapped there, as they cannot get out.
Answer 2
There are a few reasons why Hezbollah has not assisted the Palestinians during the Gazan War of 2008.
Lack of Access: Hezbollah has no naval craft and could not have made an amphibious landing in Gaza or Egypt to begin an offensive in Gaza against Israel.
Avoiding an Invasion of Lebanon: Hezbollah is aware from the 2006 Israeli-Hezbollah War that Israel is more than willing to hunt them down if they violate the UN Ceasefire Zone along the Israeli-Lebanese border to attack from Lebanon. Hezbollah may have packaged the war as a victory against Israel, but it was not interested in losing militants for no real benefit.
Dead Body Propaganda: Hezbollah at its core is not interested in the Palestinians, but the eradication of Israel. Nothing makes Israel look worse than numerous civilian casualties in Palestine. As a result, they also choose to intentionally do nothing to prolong the fighting and increase the number of Palestinian deaths to humiliate Israel.
Iranian Prohibition: Iran is more than happy to maintain the current Iranian-Israeli Proxy Wars, but Hezbollah's direct involvement in the Gazan War could spark a rise from mere proxy wars to actual war. Iran wishes to avoid conflict until a time when it could assure victory and has ordered Hezbollah to stand down.
Notes on Answer 1
There are a few assertions that Answer 1 makes that are false:
- Hezbollah is under the yoke of the Lebanese government: This has been proven to not be the case. When Hezbollah did not win the Lebanese elections later in 2009, they launched a military attack on the capital until parts of their vision were realized for Lebanon. While Hezbollah may take Lebanese laws into account, it is not bound by them.
- Gaza can only be reached by Israel: While this is the current political reality, it is not the geographic reality. Egypt maintains a border crossing at Rafah. However, Egypt, both under Mubarak and later under Morsi has kept the border closed. Egyptians are just as afraid of the Gaza Hamastan as the Israelis. However, there are numerous smuggling tunnels between Egypt and Gaza, so Hezbollah militants could get into Gaza if they really wanted to go.
- Israel's borders were closed: Israel's borders with all of its neighbors (Jordan and Egypt) remained open throughout the conflict. There may have been increased border procedures since the country was at war. The only borders that were under strict scrutiny were those with the Gaza Strip. Getting into and out of Israel was not a problem. Hezbollah would have a problem entering Israel since Lebanese, Syrian, and Iranian citizens cannot enter Israel (as their countries reject its legitimacy).

What is the least likely terrorist target?
The North Pacific, hundreds of miles from any piece of land, is probably the least likely target for terrorists considering that there are no people, no important military positions, no witnesses, no recording devices, and no interest. Terrorists feed off of the fear and carnage generated in order to propagate their message.

What is one of the biggest obstacles to preventing terrorism?
there is no one solution to prevent it from happen
Generally, No. There certainly have been terrorists who do not believe in God, e.g. are Atheists. However, the vast majority of Atheists are not terrorists and there are fewer Atheist terrorists per capita than any other religious group. Atheists in the United States are slandered as terrorists and similar by religious people who may feel threatened by them or find their lack of belief repellent. This is simply name-calling and does not change the reality of whether Atheists commit acts of terror.
How did they killed Osama Bin Laden?
His mansion was stormed by US Navy SEALS and he was shot twice, once in the head and once in the chest. US Officials have stated several times that this was a "kill mission", implying that the SEALS were sent to kill Osama bin Laden.
According to news reports, the United States has been training Navy Seals for the manuveur for over 6 months. It included building a training location like the place he was staying in Pakistan. Two Chinook helicopters brought the two teams in to the top of the building that Bin Laden was in. They went in and had to kill a few people. They tried not to shoot any civilians but a woman being used as a shield was killed. When Bin Laden was recognized he was given the option to surrender and he refused. He was shot in the head and then was double tapped to make sure he was dead. His body was removed to one of the helicopters and taken for DNA identification.
If Islam is a religion of peace then why are most Muslims terrorists?
The religious structure of Islam is not designed to promote terrorism. Contrary to what is espoused in the question most Muslims behave indistinguishably from Non-Muslims on most key life-issues, such as work relationships, education, sports affiliations, socializing, etc.
That being said, the doctrines of Islam, particularly the holy Islamic struggle of Jihad, make Islam much more malleable to supporting terrorism and violence against civilians than most other religions. (This is not to say that Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc. cannot be molded this way (and each has been), but it takes more doctrinal meddling.) Islam also is not a unity which allows Muslim terrorist organizations tell their membership that the fight in which they are engaged is properly guided and anyone who opposes them is not properly guided.

Why is it difficult to infiltrate terrorist organizations?
Terrorism comes since ancient times. Now days, terrorists trains and receives indoctrination from certified trainers. This makes it very difficult to infiltrate one; you can't knock on doors in the Middle East without proper training.
What does the phrase today's terrorists are tomorrow's freedom fighters mean?
It means literally what it says. It means that someone regarded as a terrorist now in the future could be regarded as a freedom fighter. For example Nelson Mandela was a terrorist now he is a hero. It also demonstrates that the attributes that we give to any person or group are largely subjective and can change from strongly negative to strongly positive or vice versa given the context.
Any organization who don't have an Army and want to change the prevailing system will resort to terrorism. In other words, when a person or group of people feel as though they are helpless, they turn to extremism such as terrorism.
More specifically though, to answer the question related to Al Qaeda, it is best to analyze the sayings of their founder and leader, Osama Bin Laden. Mr. Laden has claimed at least in one of his videos, that he feels as though it's not fair that Americans are allowed to live in peace and without fear as how it is in the middle east. In a sense he is providing us with fear. Al Qaeda, on multiple occasions have claimed that they would cease terrorist attacks if the U.S. simply withdraws all of its troops from their territory. The terrorist attacks could also be a result of the American presence in the middle east.
