[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length.

With so many examples from which to choose throughout the two hundred and thirty years America has been a global player, it is difficult to find just one that illustrates the most important role the nation has played in spreading terrorism; however, the dubious dropping of nuclear bombs upon Hiroshima and Nagasaki brings forth one of the best standards by which to compare. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
