How Did President George W. Bush Want To Control The Middle East

In 2001, George W. Bush gave a speech to Congress after the terrorist attack on 9/11. Although I was 10 years old and unable to understand everything then, I am able to understand them now. And as an American citizen I stand by Bush wanting to keep America free and the world a safe place for all human’s to live in. Bush gave this speech on September 20, 2001. Nine days after America had been attacked by terrorists. Bush makes sure to thank many people, including all of America for pulling together and helping each other in this time of confusion and weakness. He then goes on to explain to American why we were attacked and who these terrorists were. They terrorists were al-Qaida, whose goal is to remake the world and impose their radical

President Bush, shares his view on the matter throughout this speech. Bush’s purpose is to try and help Americans not panic during such a terrifying situation that has changed American history. Since Bush understands what Americans or people in general the world must be feeling, he is able to address the matter in a calm and collected way. In “Bush’s 9/11 speech,” the author, President George Bush, uses various rhetorical devices to reinforce his position on the 9/11 attack.

Quite different, however, the rhetoric of Bush spent, almost in the democratic camp were told. "I'm after, 9/11 very proud, as he clearly and firmly shown that it is not a war against Islam," Obama said recently. In the presidential candidates addressed it added: "You must follow his example it was just that he was the right impulse ..."

Since the 9/11 attacks, the Bush administration has been calling every citizens and every nations to support his Middle East policy. Nonetheless, the U.S. has been involved in the middle-east struggle for more than half of the century, wars were waged and citizens were killed. Yet, political struggles and ideological conflicts are now worse than they were under Clinton’s presidency. As “President’s Address to the Nation” is a speech asking everybody to support the troops to keep fighting in Iraq, I, as an audience, am not persuaded at all because of his illogical fallacy in the arguments. In this essay, I will analyze how and what are the illogical fallacies he uses in the

On September 11, 2001, the United States witnessed horrific attacks of terrorism better known as “9/11.” On the morning of 9/11, a terrorist organization known as Al Qaeda, hijacked four different commercial planes; two of them attacking the Twin Towers in New York City, one of them attacking the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and one of them crashing onto a rural field of Pennsylvania. Over 3,000 people were killed in these attacks, making it the largest terrorist attack in US history. As soon as these attacks occurred, US citizens concerned and feared for their safety, and questioned President Bush’s leadership. There were people who believed in Bush’s leadership, and there were people who blamed Bush for the attacks of 9/11.

Born in July 6, 1946, George W. Bush, America’s 43rd president, served in the White House office from 2001 to 2009. Before coming into the White House, he was the oldest son of former 41st U.S. President George H. W. Bush, who was also a two-term Republican governor of the state of Texas. George W. Bush was a graduate of Yale University and Harvard Business majoring in business administration. George W. Bush worked in the Texas oil industry and he was also an owner of the Texas Rangers baseball team before becoming the governor of Texas. In the year of 2000 he barely won the Electoral College vote in one of the closest and most controversial elections in American History. He won the presidency after narrowly defeating his Democratic opponent Al Gore. George W. Bush’s presidency in office was basically shaped by the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks against the United States of America. Due to the attacks, he declared a global “war on terrorism”, which resulted in the formation of the Department of Homeland Security and the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

After about Nine months into presidency, George w. bush had formed the war on terror plan. It had been said that the plan was put into effect in retort to the terrorist attacks of 9/11. That it was formed to strengthen our national security at home and to extent democracy across the Middle East, but how can this be true when it seems that the United States has been proceeding to the dismay carried out by terrorists groups against innocent people in New York by killing even more innocent civilians within the Middle East. Tens of millions of civilians have died in the Middle East as a direct result of 9/11. Millions have been faced with injury, starvation, poor health and home displacement due to the inhumanity of the war.

The 9/11 attacks would change President Bush’s foreign policy focus from building relationships with other great powers such as China and Russia to the terrorist countries and other radical fronts such as Iran, Iraq, and North Korea. In the past the U.S. concentrated on containing and deterring encroachment on other countries. President Bush and his administration would take a preemptive approach to dealing with these factions. President Bush viewed these areas as a security threat because of their propensity to harbor and provide hiding for the extremist terrorist groups.

Since the 9/11 attacks on the United States, the war against terrorism has become “the” major foreign policy objective. Violence is a hallmark of terrorism; terrorist groups participate in gruesome acts to create widespread revulsion and fear. According to Sandler, the true target of terrorism is a wider public, who will then pressure the government to give in to the demands of the terrorists.

Bin Laden’s letter toward the United States exemplified the idea of radical Islam to convert the world into Islam. This radical idea clearly disregarded the justness of any other ideologies and religions without any elaborations. While the West widely criticized this radical religious idea, Bush’s speech post 911 had actually shown a similar disregard for any dissent. In his speech, Bush stated “night fell on a different world, a world where freedom itself is under attack,” (Bush) The quote implicitly put the universal world “freedom” into a domestic level, but failed to acknowledge that the freedom for the United States or the Western society may not apply for other countries. Both Bin Laden and Bush failed to realize the possible coexistence

Bush told U.S. troops to get ready for war. It angered Americans and President Bush said, they would not get away with it. American turned its heads towards Iraq. In 2003, the U.S. sent soldiers to Iraq to invade Iraq. Iraq’s leader Saddam Hussein was captured and everyone thought that was the end. Capturing Iraq’s leader, angered many other people, including Islamic extremists from Iraq and several from other countries. They attacked U.S. troops but the U.S. troops did not give up and immediately attacked back. Bush heard about the U.S. soldiers being attacked and decided to declare war on the terrorists and this war would be the longest period of continuous war in U.S. history. Today, we still have soldiers fighting against the terrorists that took thousands of lives on 9/11. Citizens and politicians started asking the government questions about why the government did not do anything to prevent the attacks. The government came up with a committee known as the 9/11 Commission and started to investigate the attacks. After a long time of investigation, they came up with future plans to prevent attacks. They decided to raise security standards at the

The events that occurred on September 11th, 2001, changed the United States and the rest of the world. President George W. Bush declared a war on terrorism on national television, during a joint session of Congress on September 20th, 2001. The President’s words echoed the cries of this country and during his speech he went step-by-step in his explanation of the events and actions moving forward. After explaining to the nation the details of the events that occurred on September 11th, he requested that American’s not hold all Muslims responsible for the cowardly acts and attacks. He acknowledged the country may face many challenges in finding and eliminating the elusive enemy. Turning our countries grief and anger in to a mission to rebuild and overcome was part of his plan.

In response President Bush declared war on terrorists like al qaeda. He invaded Iraq and Afghanistan because he believed they supported the al-Qaeda operation. Bush also added tighter security to our nations boarders, airports and in public spaces . Also when Bush invaded the countries he gave medicine and food to those innocent civilians they came across in afghanistan.

After September 11, 2001, Bush was in abundant sorrow and he responded before he actually had time to think about the situation. He sensed the stresses going on and affirmed war. While the war took a countless toll on the United States, it appears as if the perceptive for declaring war was to maintain our

'For too long, the citizens of the Middle East have lived in the midst of death and fear. The hatred of a few holds the hopes of many hostage. The forces of extremism and terror are attempting to kill progress and peace by killing the innocent. And this casts a dark shadow over an entire region,' President George W. Bush in his June 24, 2002 address to the nation.
