George W. Bush's Involvement In Iraq

September 11, 2001 was a tragic part of  history for the United States of America. On September 11,  four planes crashed down by hijackers at the Pentagon, the Twin Towers, and a Pennsylvania field. The Pentagon and World Trade Center were the primary buildings where the Al Qaeda wanted to attack. The White House was another target, however they never made it. Later that night, President George W. Bush gave a speech about 9/11 in the Oval Office. George W. Bush inspired America of their safety and security of his confident tone, religious beliefs,word choice.

The terrorist attacks of September 11, altered American 's perceptions of the role in the world by strongly supporting the increased spending on national security and counterterrorism. Also, Americans have become more aware of how and where to engage in the world. As a result of the attacks, the US now has a defense that totals to nearly half the global total and has military dominance over scene, air, and space. The US also has the capability to dispatch massive military power anywhere in the world making them the system shaper. You may ask yourself just have a bad or do you check on September 11, 2001 was that led to this chaos and security becoming abnormally tight you may ask yourself just have a bad do you check on September 11, 2001

The war on Afghanistan and Iraq was a learning experience for the United States foreign policy. On September 11th, 2001 nineteen Al Qaeda members hijacked four planes, two of which crashed into the world trade center, another into the pentagon and the last into Shanksville, Pennsylvania (Scholastic). The man who was behind this attack was Osama bin Laden and with refusal to hand him over, the United States quickly prompted an attack on Afghanistan. The second war which began in 2003 was due to the belief that Saddam Hussein had acquired weapons of mass destruction which was a direct threat to the safety of the United States, in addition there were also claims that Saddam Hussein had ties with Al Qaeda and was being supported by Osama

On September 11, 2001, America as we know it changed forever. We were attacked on our own soil for the first time since the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941. Our country thought we were safe from terrorist attacks due to the oceans that separated us. We discovered on that horror-filled day that we were extremely incorrect. Our own resources were used against us in those atrocious acts of terrorism. America was transformed from the numerous consequences that came from 9/11. Despite the attacks, the leaders and our nation came together for support and comfort.

Republican candidate, George H.W. Bush, had lost the 1992 presidential election to a young Democrat from Arkansas, Bill Clinton. Clinton was somewhat of a dark horse candidate. He survived a giant sex scandal during his election, however, a third party run by Ross Perot split the vote and in 1993, Clinton was inaugurated. Clinton's foreign policy agenda, included the Oslo Accords between Israel and the PLO and NATO action in the Balkans. Successes and failures of the Clinton presidency included the failed attempt at health care reform, the very horrible attempt on LGBT issues, mixed feelings on the welfare reform and the more uplifting issues such as the huge improvements made in the economy. Also, computers were blowing up with the public

In the United States of America we strive on making it a safe place for everyone also strive to have freedom for all. After the tragedy it changes it for everyone on how we observed the outside world especially the Middle East. When September 11, 2001 it was that day that change our perceptions when the Twin Towers in New York City was crashed by two different airplanes causing it to fall down. There were many people who died because of the tragic events, mostly people love ones. This occurs when President George W. Bush was still in office, he signed the Patriot Act with the Act of Congress on October 26, 2001. It was titled a ten-letter acronym that stands for “Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to intercept

A tendency to be more concerned with the interests of a particular group than with the problems of the whole is the definition of sectionalism. Since the United States gained it 's independence from Britain, sectionalism grew alongside the country. Differences in lifestyles and opinions drove a wedge between groups of people. What started off as two political parties butting heads gradually escalated to two parts of the country, the North and South, dueling against one another. These different viewpoints would then lead to the last war on American soil. Because of the opposing viewpoints and contrasting lifestyles between the North and South, tensions grew until their eventual falling apart.

On September 11, 2001, the Unites States suffered massive destruction caused by terrorism. Four planes were hijacked by terrorist. Nearly, three thousand lives were lost when two planes crashed into the World Trade Towers, one crashed into the Pentagon, and the final plane crashed in Pennsylvania before it could reach its final destination. An immense fear spread across the country and out of this fear came the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct the Terrorism, also known as the USA Patriot Act.

The past 120 years have brought many changes, as well as surprises, to the United States of America. There have been inventions such as the automobile, the airplane, the television and even travel in space. There have been changes like the World Wars, Prohibition, the Great Depression and the cold war. Through the years, the American people have encountered joy, peace, and tragedy. One of the greatest tragedies experienced by Americans occurred on Sunday, December 7, 1941, the bombing of Pearl Harbor Naval Base. One could consider this incident the first act of terrorism against America. The attack and defeat of the United States at Pearl Harbor forced America into World War II. This single act left a tremendous impact on society and is

George W Bush led the U.S response on the 9/11 terrorist attacks and initiated (Caused) the Iraq War. But before he was president he was a businessman. In 1999 George started his quest for presidency against Al Gore .December 12, 2000 at 10pm the Supreme Court ruling that the Republican Candidate, “George W Bush”

On September 11, 2001, two planes crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City, New York. This was the very first contact that the United States of America had with the terrorism that went on in Iraq. March 20, 2003 marked the day that President George W. Bush announced the start of the war against Iraq (1). This was the beginning of a very costly war on both America and Iraq. The cost of the Iraq War was not just the amount of money spent, but the impact of war on the soldiers and the toll that it took on the families of those who were involved, as well as the amount of time and dedication of resources put into the war by the Government.

On January 29, 2002, United States President George W. Bush blasted Iraq with these words, “Iraq continues to flaunt its hostility toward America and to support terror… States like these and their terrorist allies constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world.” [State of the Union] But as late as 1990, Iraq had received major military, economic, and intelligence support from the U.S. [Arbuthnot] This aide included “numerous items that had both military and civilian applications, including poisonous chemicals and deadly biological viruses, such as anthrax and bubonic plague.” [Dobbs] It was this aide that gave Iraq the upper hand in its war against Iran and would later lead to Iraq’s ability to gas the Kurdish people of Northern Iraq in 1988. Despite the use of chemical weapons against the Kurds in 1988, the U.S. did not change their foreign policy in Iraq until 1990, when Iraq invaded and annexed Kuwait. Despite Hussein’s actions against the Kurds in 1988, why did the US continue to support the regime economically and militarily?

Each country suffered losses; the damage done affected the United States just as much as it was intended to affect Afghanistan and Iraq. Due to the sustained hostility and additional losses, not only was America at war with another country, they were also at war with themselves. Conflict arose within the nation between its citizens and their government; those that were not at war struggled with their government breaching the laws that protected them and their rights (Zinn, 2007). On October 26, 2001 President Bush passed the Patriot Act which essentially allowed the Department of Justice to hold people, in most cases noncitizens, on nothing more than the grounds of suspicion (Zinn, 2007). Tellingly, this act was abused and many people were unsafe in the country that once offered democracy, freedom, and protection. There was nothing rational about the interrogations or trials that occurred following the Patriot Act, it was all very intentionally selective. Many immigrants, Muslims in particular, were immediately suspected of terrorism or terrorist connections and were detained for months regardless of the lack of evidence found (Warren, 2011). Although several people had dared to speak out against the unjust manner of the act, their voices went unheard and many of those who publicly questioned and criticized Bush were called for interrogation regardless of their citizenship (Zinn, 2007).

Effecting from a major historical event is supposed to be one of the greatest concerns for most people all around the world. There are many important events in the history of most of the countries that have had major effects in their ways of life. These events may have benefits or terrible effects on the economy or environmental future conditions of these countries. Iran such as many countries around the world that have a great history, had a lot of major events in its age. Some of these have had terrible effects on the Iranian people, but one of the worst of these in the last century is The

The Iran-Iraq lasted from September 1980 to August 1998, which made it the longest conventional war of the 20th century. The consequence of the war cost billions of dollars and millions of lives. The result of the war, although stalemate would be a critical factor that would shape the future of the Middle East. The historical deep-rooted hostile relationship that emanated from the ethnic Arab-Persian and religious Sunni- Shi’ite tensions between the two neighbouring countries contributed to the conditions necessary for war. Although many historians and scholars argue that the deep-rooted ethnic and religious tension caused the outbreak the war, it fails to explain the periods where both countries were cooperating and involved in alliances
