Summary/Abstract |
Audrey Kurth Cronin wrote that Terrorism, like war, never ends; however, individual terrorist campaigns and the groups that wage them always do. In order to understand whether counterterrorism strategies and methods are effective in shortening the life-span of individual terrorist groups, scholars and statesmen must first recognize what the survival rate of a terrorist organization is, and what factors contribute to it-a topic that remains understand.

Summary/Abstract |
This article explores the historical emergence of Islam in East Africa, details the political background of Tanzania and Kenya, the role of Islam in each country, and U.S. foreign policy in the region. The recent U.S. strategy of intelligence-sharing with Kenya, training and military support to both Kenya and Tanzania, and air strikes in Somalia are assessed. In addition to the current military emphasis, the United States should incorporate more "soft" options, such as the promotion of democratic governance in these nascent democracies through political assistance in constitutional, judicial, and law-enforcement reform, as well as encouraging greater inclusion of Muslims in the political system.
