George W. Bush's National Security Executive Order As we enter firmly into the twenty-first century, we face more complex and compromising issues than they concern the intricate global system. New forms of aggression and threat are the faces that greet politicians as they spend countless hours configuring ways to counter future attacks such as terrorism or massive drug trafficking within and across national borders. Instead of submitting to the tyranny of chance, which cruelly holds a future marked by catastrophes that may remain vivid in our memories, President George W. Bush has issued a mandate in an attempt to regain control over future acts of aggression such as terrorism in United States; as an initial step he issued the National Security Executive Order. The Executive Order establishes the functions of this cabinet: "The functions of the office shall be to coordinate the efforts of the executive branch to detect, prepare for, prevent, protect against, respond to, and recover from terrorist attacks in the United States" (Sec. 3). It is clearly stated that an act like terrorism is something not accepted by the citizens of the United States and anything related to it will be handled accordingly. It also clarifies that terrorism is seen as an irregularity, in line with proper conduct and a threat to state power. Be able to exercise these newly established rules and standards; the state must demonstrate a certain degree of control over power in its implementation process. The Executive Order establishing the Office of the National Security Council proposes a program on combating terrorist acts; is done to avoid a... middle of paper......important tool in the attempt to take the wild reins of chaos, without such an order, it is quite possible that there will be an encore presentation of 9/11 and by there a large illicit drug transfer cartel can gain a foothold in society. The Executive Order can be seen as a wide-ranging tool in the fight against terrorism. As previously mentioned, terrorism does not fit neatly into the mold of what is considered part of the illicit economy, but its planning actions may be. While the ordinance makes a clear distinction of its purpose to counter terrorism, it may imply otherwise. The order can be seen so clear in its language, but at the same time so vague in its meaning, that it would apparently leave room for US action against any possible threat, with this flexibility, it will allow the execution of actions of unhindered security.
