Describe your own definition for international terrorism (from the week 2 forum post) making any modifications based on those forum discussions, and then summarize the four waves of modern terrorism and defend your position if you think we are experiencing a fifth wave

Propose a plan to build and sustain international cooperation on counter-terrorism. You can consider doing this from the perspective of the United States (a lead nation), or use an intergovernmental alliance approach like using the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (see NATO Working with partners to counter terrorism), or propose a global international method (such as using a United Nations entity like CTITF: The Counter-Terrorism Implementation Task Force). Make sure to address the full spectrum of counter terrorism tools such as diplomatic, military, intelligence, economic, informational, financial and law enforcement. Describe how you will create and build the cooperation as well as the pros and cons of your chosen approach.
