war on terror terror only grew in washington i'm going to . now africa is seeing a surge of radicalism our two spoke to iraq war veteran michael prysner about the issue and he believes the first step to stopping all of this shutting down the drone campaigns. the first thing that would go on a really long way to changing that situation is closing down all of the u.s. military bases that are in over one hundred thirty countries around the world many of them muslim countries ending the regular drone strikes that take place on these countries and of course kind of a daily terrorism and acted by the united states against other countries through drones you know that there's this term that they use to justify all of this is termed american exceptionalism which of course is an offensive term to many people but it's real meaning is that the exception is that the u.s. considers itself having the right to attack anybody in the world at any time to kill anybody in the world at any time to torture anybody in the world at any time to arrest anybody in the w
