"Part of this new world of completely improvisational terrorism is that there were codes of war that disintegrated in the face of terrorism"
- Diane Sawyer
About this Quote
This quote by Diane Sawyer speaks to the changing nature of terrorism in the modern world. In the past, there were specific codes of war that were followed, such as not targeting civilians and not utilizing specific weapons. However, with the introduction of totally improvisational terrorism, these codes have been overlooked. Terrorists are now happy to use any ways required to achieve their goals, consisting of targeting civilians and using weapons that were formerly considered too extreme. This has created a brand-new world of terrorism that is unpredictable and hazardous. It is a world where the old codes of war no longer use, and where terrorists want to go to any lengths to attain their objectives.
