Persuasive Essay About Terrorism

The United States has been in a national state of emergency fighting a war on terrorism since September 11, 2001. The intelligence communities have pursued and tracked down terrorist suspects who pose a direct threat to this country, yet one of the greatest threat to this country is the astronomical number of mass shootings and hate crimes that have occurred in this country post 9/11.

On September 11th, 2001, 2,977 Americans lost their lives on what they thought was just another workday. These actions against the United States catapulted our Armed Forces into a full on War on Terror spread out over different countries. Since that fateful morning in September, over 6,000 Americans have lost their lives fighting in multiple theaters in support of the War on Terror. Many people have been personally hit by tragedy resulting from the War on Terror. People have lost their sons, their daughters, friends, and parents as the war creeps on. The United States needs to rescind its involvement in the War on Terror, which has claimed the lives of thousands of Americans, all while draining the American economy.

Last year while sketching through TV and trying to watch news with my father, we saw one of the most devastating and horrifying attacks in Boston Massachusetts. Recently, terrorist has made many attacks and lives of innocent people have despaired. United States has to recruit more immigrants into their armies to help preserve the safety their people, homeland security, communicate with suspects kids to comprehends sides, send more satellites to the space, revise and reviews some of the traveling among suspicious travellers and stop providing weapons to certain location that could harm the entire community in America. If we fallow all of these purposes, I believe that the horror, and the terrorism could be reduced and certain incident can be prevented.

It has been over a decade and a half since Americans were first exposed to the power of foreign terrorism. The twin tower attacks left us helpless. Americans didn’t see it coming and we were even more unsure of how to respond to such a tragedy. Who would want to kill innocent people on purpose? Why? It wreaked fear over the American population for years. Its ghost, constantly revived with every sensationalized explosion, every failed attempt, every image of that Muslim man deeply dedicated to the Islamic ideology. Americans had never experienced such a huge attack from a foreign enemy since Pearl Harbor and we would do anything to prevent this atrocity from happening again.

The War on Terror is a military campaign that began under Bush’s administration. Their aim was to fight organizations that identified themselves as “terrorists”. These so called “terrorists” defined themselves as individuals or even a group who use violence and threats to coerce people or countries to perform a certain action. Between the years 2006-2013, they have caused 130,000 casualties and 90,000 of those have been deaths. This campaign arose immediately after one of the most tragic events that ever occurred; the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon in 2001. Sadly, this tragedy caused almost 3,000 lives and injured over 6,000 innocent civilians. Other more well-known targets are Al-Qaeda, the Islamic State, and the Taliban. There has been great controversy to whether the WoT campaign should have even been brought about, even though this program successfully devised the plan to kill Osama Bin Laden.

Terrorism is the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, especially for political purposes. Recently on September 11, 2001 a terrorist group calling themselves Al-Qadea, planned a coordinated attack. Thus high jacking four planes which were targeted at what some people call the heart of the United States, (Twin Towers, Pentagon, and another landed in PA). With this said we call these people terrorists.

Introduction. The United States’ War on Terror is a mistake because it is bringing more burdens and terrorism to the United States at home and abroad.

Within the history of the United States, there have been many enemies, foreign and domestic; among these combatants are terrorists led by radical Islam. These terrorists first major offensive against the United States began on September 11, 2001, a date many will remember for the rest of their lives. This attack has been a harbinger to the United States beginning a war on terror. This war on terror began as retribution for those lost in terror attacks, leading into aiding the population of war-torn countries, as well as displaying the force of the United States across the world.

The United States is at risk of new terrorist organization. Resent attacks on parise shows the reach of this new terror group Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Al Qaeda has evolved into something more serious ISIS. The United States has a moral responsibility to protect itself and others from the threat ISIS poses and the rules that ISIS inforce. The people of the world have the right to practice their religion in their own way and not live in fear of groups like ISIS.

The attacks of 9/11 have reshaped and changed the way how Americans live today, forever. Never before such shock and terror has been felt by anyone on the American soil.

What comes to mind when you hear “The War on Terror”? For someone like myself I immediately go back to my tenth grade English class the morning of September 11, 2001 and the devastating effects of terrorism and what we as a country need to/ should do to keep ourselves safe. Sometimes you need to detain a large quantity of suspects to find the few terrors amongst the many innocent, Habeas Corpus is made to help protect and weed out the innocent and when that right is violated in hopes of find the bad within the good it is no longer an acceptable way to fight terrorism. Several case have come to the Supreme courts and no one can clearly answer to what extent the war on terror justifies the President's unspecified time limit on enemy combatants

George Washington Bush once said, “There’s no bigger task than protecting the homeland of our country.” Terrorism was and still is a huge problem in America and every other country in the world. We, as Americans, are privileged to live in a country where no real threats to our safety exist, no one pushes their religious or political beliefs on us and we are not threatened by an ongoing violence in our country. Although terrorism always has been and always will be an ongoing event, 9/11, the death of Osama bin Laden, and the Afghanistan war have been tremendous factors in learning how to protect this country.

"I know that a lot of people find appeal in the things Donald says because he says what people wish they could say. The problem is, presidents can't just say anything they want. It has consequences, here and around the world," he said.

The goal of the War on Terror defined by President Bush is “Our war on terror begins with Al Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped and defeated”. The problem with this goal is that it is unrealistic and that the definition of a terrorist varies with in countries. For example those who are labeled freedom fighters in one nation can be considered terrorists in another. People argue that there is no real enemy and that those who do a terrorist act should be handled through the Judicial System and not by the military. An example of this is the Boston bombings. Another problem with the War on Terror is that it has added about $1.7 trillion to $18 trillion onto the United States debt. It has also taken jobs away from the American people due to the fact that for every $1 billion given as a tax cut supplies a demand to create 10,779 jobs when $1 billion spent on defense creates 8,555 jobs. Meaning that for every billion we spend of defense takes away 2,224 jobs. Another thing is that due to the war in Iraq and Afghanistan people argue that President’s Bush’s true goal was to “strengthen the U.S. grip on the Middle East, turn Iraq into a military and political platform for further aggression, gain tighter control of international energy supplies, control and reshape the entire arc from North Africa to Central Asia, and strengthen the U.S. hand against rivals—current and

Since the beginning of the United States of America, citizens have been concerned with having their voices heard in government. To protect the rights of the people the United States Constitution was amended to guarantee that “Congress shall make no law . . . prohibiting . . . the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances”(U.S. Const. amend. I). But, in recent years, the American people have abused their right to protest, relying on violence to obtain attention, and in doing so discrediting their own causes. The people of America must restrain themselves from using violence to make changes to society.
