Economic Impact Of 9/11 On Pakistan

Theoretically, it holds that the United States (US) invaded Afghanistan as a self-defense strategy following the 9/11 attacks. Practically, however, as US foreign policy is about conquest, self-protection and resource-extraction, it seeks strategic dominance of geographical space to sustain its global relevance. The rationality of the US suggests the need to continuously accumulate capital, resources and military proficiency to ensure autonomy. Therefore, a pragmatic reading into the motivation behind the invasion of Afghanistan negates the self-defense theory. Rather, the shifting coordinates of power within central and southern Asia crafted the perfect criteria for US intervention. This work explores the motivations and systemic cover-ups designed by the Bush administration in ordering military troops into Afghanistan in 2001. It will hold that this invasion was not just a War on Terror, but rather a tactic to ensure US prevalence within the region, and henceforth, the rest of the world. Thus, why did the US invade Afghanistan?

The September 11 attacks were set of four terrorist attacks controlled by al-Qaeda, an Islamic terrorist group. On September 11, 2001, four aircrafts were hijacked by the terrorists; two of the planes hit Twin towers in New York, third hit the Pentagon and the fourth one crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania (“9/11 Attacks”). The September 11 attacks had several long-term negative effects that include Social effects, Psychological effects, Physical health effects, Economic effects and many more. But of all those effects, Economic effects were the most suffered ones. The 9/11 attacks triggered the devastation of American economy (Miley). Although it has been 12 years since the episode and America has recovered a lot, American

On September 11, 2001, a series of terrorist attacks were directed for the United States by means of four hijacked planes. Two of which hit the twin towers of the World Trade Center, one hit the Pentagon, the headquarters of the Department of Defense, and the fourth crashed in a field near Pittsburg after it was meant to hit the White House. The terror spread in the United States and brought concern and fear to the citizens. The impact of these terrorist attacks caused serious and detrimental damages within the country, and their result on the people were enormous; insecurity, helplessness, and susceptibility spread. Especially after the release of a videotape in which Osama Bin Laden, head of Al-Qaeda, admitted that he was responsible for the terrorist attacks. Hence, President George W, Bush declared the “war on terror” against all terrorists in the Arab world, specifically Afghanistan and Iraq. In the following paper, we will be discussing how the war on terror was waged, its effects on the target countries, and how it was perceived by political thinkers, where some saw it as a conspiracy theory against the Arab countries, and others believed the USA was the victim.

September 11, 2001 was a very horrible day. The twin towers was hit by 2 planes. The 2 planes hit the sides , middle of the buildings. When the planes hit , their was people inside working. The planes hit like mid way through the building. The people was struck at the top of the building but the people who was below escaped. Some people was hurt or killed because of the planes and the buildings. Some thoughts of 9/11 still plays through people heads from time to time.

“In December 2011, remaining U.S. troops were pulled out of Iraq, leaving that nation in a far more volatile state than when military operations first began in 2001” (Green). This illustrates that 9/11 has caused instability in multiple regions such as Afghanistan. Moreover, U.S. foreign policy dramatically changed from deterrence and containment to preemptive and preventive action. Consequently, this foreign policy established questionable allies such as Pakistan where Osama bin Laden was hiding. When the terrorist attacks happened, it was designed to instill fear and weaken the US but it made the US even stronger (HÉochaidh).

After 9/11 occurred the government had been worried about terrorists getting on more planes and killing more Americans, so they had created the Transportation Security Administration. The Transportation Security Administration is a government run security company just for the airports in the USA. They check your pockets, shoes, what’s in your bag, X-Ray your bags for more security so now instead of arriving 15 minutes before your flight, they recommend two hours before your arriving at the airport to take flight.

Muslim Americans are people whose religious belief is Islam, but they were born in America. Before September 11, 2001, Muslim Americans were rarely a discussion or a problem. However after September 11, 2001, Muslim Americans were the main topic. Even though Islam is a religious belief, people are fearful of anything associated with it. Some people discriminate against people who resemble those who are practice the religion. Even though it is not relevant to race, the difference between racism; and religious discrimination is often unclear to people. People believe that terrorists are Muslim activists, but that’s wrong because not all terrorists are Muslims.

I do understand where people could compare those two events by death totals and how they both came out of nowhere but I don think there are exactly the same. 9/11 had much more of an impact on our contry,it hurt us emotionally economically and "physically" but it brought us together and helped us fight for the greater cause,Yellow fever did not do that

Have you ever thought about how 9/11 affected the world? You probably never noticed, but there was many changes after the 9/11 accident. The United States has awakened by changing many rules in safety. There were many positive outcomes, But mostly negative outcomes. Have you ever wondered why traveling in the airport takes so long?

During 9/11 it dealt with its most difficult year. The United States had welcomed 60 million international visitors. 4.8 million more visitors than in 2009. The visitors who came to the United States injected more than $134.4 billion in the U.S. alone. Even with a strong recovery, the industry related employment has not recovered. The lack of demand for travel and tourism related goods took a major toll on this industry. In 2010 there was 44% total of overseas arrivals to the United States. The travel and tourism exports increased 12% when put up to 2009. In the international market many of the different places opened up for demand and ended up ranking in higher visitor spending percentages. Employment dropped 1.4% in 2010, 7.8% in 2009. There was nearly 112,000 jobs lost in 2010 due to it reducing its labor force by nearly 11 million.

Lastly, Afghanistan has been seen as the incubator for terrorism that has reached across the world bringing death and destruction, but lets not forget the financial impacts that each terrorist attack takes on the free market.

The pressure of trade imbalance and oil shock sharply increased the import bill (Pessoa, 2004).

The War of Terror led to economic problems in the United States. A lot less money was being spent on it's many domestic affairs. The 9/11 attacks introduced a new plethora of challenges. The 2008 financial crisis was still an ongoing predicament; consequently, fewer funds were available to boost the United States out of the economic deficit (Amadeo). This had a drastic impact on the country's unemployment rate. It was at 5.1 percent as of August of 2002 (Yerger). The United States was certainly detrimental in it's economics; nevertheless, various national organizations decided to fight back. In mid-October 2002, the Department of Transportation sent a proposed legislation to Congress in hopes of strengthening security and safety in transportation

When the September 11, 2001 attacks occurred the United States responded in a manner which was seen as a traditional reaction to such an attack; it used its overwhelming superior military to invade the nation of Afghanistan. As Afghanistan was the operating base of the terrorist group responsible for the attacks, Al Qaeda, the invasion all but destroyed the group's operating capacity. But in response to the United States' apparent victory the terrorists have re-organized themselves into a looser confederation and turned to alternative methods of finance and operation. One could say that the success of the American military's answer to the September 11th attacks have created a new environment in which terrorists currently operate. This includes the use of the internet, unconventional alliances with international criminal organizations, as well the inception of the "lone wolf" terrorist. Faced with these new type of threats, the United States and its allies must find a way to identify and deal with them.
