 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Conclusion: **
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">We believe it lies mostly outside the borders because there is a greater possible threat out there and it would be harder to stop and locate the threat unless it was within our borders.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">Some of the groups do have a valid argument such as the Earth Liberation Front. But most of the groups did not have a valid cause in harming and killing other people.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">No, we believe that it is wrong either way and what they are fighting for is a worthless cause if they kill and hurt people.
