The U.S. back into the nightmare terrorism at an unexpected time

The September 11th has passed for twelve years, and the time had mitigated the feeling of fear and dismay of an act so huge perpetrated within the territory of the greatest superpower on the planet. There followed years of retaliation, war, and certainly not appropriate behavior to a democracy, which were used, among other things to do to regain the country's self-confidence, awareness of not being become like Jerusalem or Baghdad. Military successes and investigative have mitigated the fear in the population, that has slowly metabolized an event of historic committed to his injury. The attack in Boston, which despite its gravity, is not comparable to that of the twin towers, has reopened old wounds that seemed healed. The climate of insecurity that is spreading in the country is, without doubt, one of the objectives, certainly centered, from those who have committed this crime, which could have an even greater extent. The same delayed official response to Obama, shows that the same vertex of the United States was unprepared for an event of this kind. As for the attack on the twin towers, the first question to ask is why at this time and the second is why in Boston. The current situation of the United States is not as bad as some time ago, the confirmation of Obama at the top of the nation, gave stability to the political system, with the continuation of the presidential program, the country is also in a phase of economic recovery, which led to a moderate optimism, certainly welcome after the long period of depression. So internally the general condition of the country is recovering, although they are always present issues of concern to the White House, but the general mood is to be considered better than even in recent times. On the international policy set by Obama, towards the end of the previous term, the United States has put in positions of apparently minor, leaving the leading roles to other countries or entities like the United Nations. It was a choice that aimed to improve the image of the United States, especially in those countries traditionally antagonists because of the role previously played by Washington, too invasive in the internal affairs of other states and often identified as a phenomenon of neo-colonialism. In part this was also due to economic reasons that dictated the will to contain military expenditure and in part was caused by the great pressure of public opinion, more and more opposed to seeing their armed forces involved in wars are not fully understood . Certainly Washington has not abandoned its role as a world superpower and is personally involved in international disputes crucial to world stability, but his attitude is more muscular and featuring a uniquely impose their beliefs. The Iranian issue underscores the role played by the United States was to hold Israeli intentions and concerted focus on diplomatic initiatives, often in the UN, or at least with the sharing of measures taken together with other countries. Even in the North Korean crisis, which is still in progress, the American attitude was of great prudence and based on dialogue, agreeing the initiatives undertaken with Beijing, that you can not really define an ally of Washington. On the other hand Al Qaeda, the historical enemy, the more representative of Islamic terrorism, has been substantially defeat in its most important parts, and the difficulty to reorganize forced her to work in remote areas, while being always a danger that more latent. In this regard, there was talk of sleeping cells, which are present on American soil, ready to spring into action at any time, but, despite the attention of institutions may have come loose, it is difficult to believe, even if not rejected a priori, the success of an attack Islamic. Moreover, the same authority, for now they have formally initiated an investigation of terrorist type and are still stuck with a criminal investigation. The choice of the place, it seems, however, to clothe Accessory parts with tight U.S. history, thanks to the role played by the city of Boston in the American Revolution, the event chosen is the most important and oldest marathon, since it takes place since 1897 and that is celebrated on the day that commemorates the beginning of the Patriotic War of American Independence. So even a choice of date has a very significant meaning. While not rejecting a priori the possibility of Islamic principals and from outside, the signals do is highlight the impressions of an act endogenous to the United States. Unless the symbolism of the place and date not been used in a deliberately misleading, remains the absence of a claim of the attack, which, if executed by Islamic terrorists, represents a constant operational of this kind of organizations. The reference to American far-right groups, repetition of an act modeled on that of Oklahoma City, could set a precedent to be reckoned with. But for now there are also no concrete suspicions, which can allow a certain direction of investigation. Meanwhile in major American cities has been reestablished the alert, with the psychological consequences of the case in the whole population.
