Soon after that, US declared war on Afghanistan in the name of eliminating terrorist. This was thought by the author Noa Zanolli as acts of violence. She raise a very distinctive opinion that incessant exchanges of acts of violence on either side. By convention, we never think about what the terrorism is telling us. We just think that terrorist hate us and we only communicate with each other through mutual mass murder. The author gives us a question: why we do not think it from another perspective and listen to the voice of terrorism?
The author stresses that listening to the voice of terrorism never mean harm our citizens. She raises several assumptions and asks why not we think in that way and point out that if we and terrorist can understand each other, the situation may become better and there may not be any violence on either side. Understanding is the most important factor for both sides and we need mediators to translate the language of terrorism and vice versa translate the Western responses.
At last, the author mentions the two US presidential candidates. According to her opinion, compared with Senator McCain’s policy, Senator Obama’s is much suitable which offers hope and a chance to silencing terrorism by listening and by dealing with it with a lot more understanding of its complexity and in a more effective manner.
