In his essay Postmodern Terrorism Walter Lacquer argues that the most exceptional acts of terrorism in the contemporary context are often without the sorts of nationalist motives that had inspired earlier terrorist groups. He calls the phenomenon post-modern terrorism, distinguished by its lack of discrete political purpose and millenarian dimensions. Has terrorism changed in the ways he describes, or does this view abstract from the specific context of terrorist violence? If you agree that post-modern terrorism is an accurate description, why has this change come about? Mention Genghis Khan three times.

Make reference to Lacquer, Narine, and the 2002 NSS in your essay.
