Reflection -The significance of this event was as Rumsfeld said, was "to make clear to the Taliban leaders and their supporters that harboring terrorists is unacceptable and carries a price." Basically This was a warning or a lesson learned from Afghanistan people that terrorism is not good and who ever tries to do it will suffer pain and will be punished. This impact is nationally because it is world wide for any terrorist to come and destroy anything that is not meant to be destroyed. This event reacted to others because it scared many people through the suffer that Afghanistan people faced. This actually gave respect to U.S because they did what they said they will do.

Enlightenment Thinker - Beccaria is an Enlightenment Thinker that will connect to my article . I say that because Beccaria talks about criminals so I can connect criminals with terrorism because technically terrorism is committing a crime or even bigger which makes you a criminal. The only difference in my connection with Beccaria is that Beccaria felt that the criminals shouldn't be punished however, in my article the U.S felt that the Afghanistan people should be punished for what they do and commit. The U.S decision on how people should be punished for what they do connect with monarchy as well because the U.S role in this article is also taken as kings and queens because they are making the people suffer. However, the Afghanistan people are taken as peasants in this article.
