The book “How Terrorism End; Understanding the Decline and Demise of Terrorist Campaigns”, written in 2011 at the height of Al-Qaeda, the most well-known international terrorist group of our time. The author of this work, Audrey Cronin, at the time of print, served as a professor of strategy at the United States National War College in Washington D.C., and a senior associate at Oxford University’s Changing Character of War Program. Both positions allowed her to impact strategic policy making in the execution of the Global War on Terror by allowing her access to senior military and civilian policymakers. Her previous area of her prior work has been mainly focused on international terrorism with an emphasis on al-Qaeda. She has authored

Wesley Clark, a former United States Army General and a decorated Vietnam War veteran, states in his book Winning Modern Wars that “Defeating terrorism is more difficult and far-reaching than we have assumed....We may be advancing the ball down the field at will, running over our opponent's defenses, but winning the game is another matter altogether.” He also stated in the preface of the book “that the Bush administration had rushed us, pushed us, mislead, and manipulated us into war with Iraq with at the expense of the real war against Al- Qaeda.” Clark in writing stating this is essentially telling us we (The United States) have somehow overstepped our boundaries by acting in this “War on Terror,” and while he might have made a gutsy

How did George W. Bush manage the War on Terror? Historians Howard Zinn and Victor David Hanson exchange essential perspectives on George W. Bush, the 2000 election, and the War on Terror. In 2000, after Clinton ended his presidency, George Bush and Albert Gore were set to compete for presidency. After the controversy of 2000 election, George W. Bush was elected 43rd president of the United States as a result of having 537 more electoral votes than Albert Gore. 9 months into Bush's presidency, the September 11th attacks transpired and caused Bush to fire back. Historians Howard Zinn and Victor Hanson interpret America’s issues. These historians observations can be differ and compared. Each proposition is similar yet, different as one is a

“It’s a war going on. The ghetto is a cage. They only give you two choices, be a rebel or a slave” Dead Prez, ‘Turn off the Radio’, 2002. It’s an epidemic that’s happening in major cities across America; racialized black and latino youth are pipelined directly into the criminal justice system through different institutions starting at a young age. These boys are marked for illegitimate gang activity at an early age, initiating the ongoing process where they are stigmatized in every aspect of their life for their negative credentials before they even have the opportunity to prove themselves. Victor Rios, author of Punished, names this phenomenon the Youth Control Complex and shadows several youth in the Oakland area, in hopes of bringing light to these injustices. Rios, having grown up in the ghetto himself, knows firsthand what it takes to escape this inevitable incarceration; mentorship from adults who care and opportunity fueled by the individual. The Youth Control Complex effectively criminalizes these boys at a young age, however through the sociological imagination one can see that the conditions are part of larger structural and societal processes.

When they polled if the Americans were right in their fear, some countries thought it was absurd how scared they were (Doc F). The first Bush, Clinton, and the second Bush all knew the possibility that groups powered by radical Muslims were on the rise that when the attack on 9/11 happened, it was horrific but it was almost to be expected at this point (Doc C). For the president to believe that the best course of action was to start a war because of this led to an occupation of Afghanistan that should not have happened in the first place and instead encouraged a rise in terrorism (Doc D and E). America reacted, in a way, that perpetuated the growing fear of terrorism and making it over inflated rather than handling it quietly (Doc G). The United States did not prepare for these attacks even though there were events that gave them insight to growing hate for the country and the ideals surrounding

(C) How was Anja to know that not giving up her only child to a stranger would inadvertently lead to his death? How was any parent, for that matter, expected to make this impossible choice: to give up their child or keep them close by. So goes the cataclysm and morbid oppression of war. When contemplating the virtue of her decision, I drew parallels to the Bible of all places. Specifically, there are similarities between here and the story of Moses. When the Egyptians grew fearful of the Israelites power in further generations, they ordered all the male children be killed. Moses’ mother hid him until she no longer could. Then, God gave her inspiration for a plan to save him.

It was discovered from intelligence files stolen from Baghdad that Iraq did have a hand in training al-Quaeda in the 90's and might have even funded the organization as well as provided it a safe haven (Doc. 6). Despite this newly discovered relation to Iraq, Bush still received plenty of criticism for his war on terror. Cindy Sheehan, an American anti-war activist, lost a son to the war on terror. Cindy called this war on terror George Bush's war on terror, affiliating it solely with Bush and not the U.S. itself. When Bush said that it is safer to bring the fight to the Taliban, Cindy's question to President Bush was "What makes their babies less precious than ours?" (Doc. 7). Many Americans believed that bringing the fight to the Taliban was pointless and would only result in further loss of life. The Financial Times, a British news company, stated, "The way the Bush administration has trampled on the international rule of law and Geneva Conventions, while abrogating civil liberties and expanding executive power at home, has done huge damage not only to America's reputation but, more broadly, to the attractive power of Western values" (Doc. 8). This depicts that America is losing respect worldwide due to the choice it made in invading

The protagonist in Slaughter-House Five, Billy Pilgrim, has to deal with some of these things along with many other complications in his life.

After the war, Billy marries and goes to school to

Whether or not the war was being fought to “eliminate” terrorist, who are a threat to the United States and to “eliminate” “weapons of mass destruction” is unknown. After the 9/11 attacks many rumors were spread on the honesty and true reason behind the war. However they are all rumors, no facts were ever found to back them up. While “the war on terror” may seem like a very convincing term, the truth of the matter is that it is just another war. A war that is being fought in Iraq, where not everyone is a terrorist, where not everyone had something to do with the World Trade Center attacks. Thanks to the term “the war on terror” many Muslims, Afghans, and other races were immediately characterized as terrorist. This is a perfect example of “pretentious diction”, Bush used words such as “eliminate” to describe what they were supposedly going to be doing in Iraq. In the 9/11 attacks “weapons of mass destruction” were not even used, unless you can classify airplanes as weapons of mass destruction. Why should the public of the United States, be convinced that the people who organized this crude act, have accessibility to these so called weapons? Bush used pretentious diction to tip-toe around the subject and get is point across in a way that seemed to be in the public’s best interest.

In August of 2002, the Bush administration’s position about Iraq had changed significantly. Prior to this point, the United States and other western countries had been arming Iraq with weapons of every type. The fact the United States and other countries had been arming Iraq with weapons, shows how little they considered Iraq to be a threat. This quickly changed. A debate on invading Iraq, held by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, created

The term “War on Terror” alone has created a psychological phenomenon that struck fear in the minds of many Americans. The Bush Administration elevated those three words to a national mantra that had impacted the American democracy destructively. It had impacted the American psyche as well as the United States’ standing in the world. In an article by Zibigniew Brzezinski, he explains, “Using this phrase has actually undermined our ability to effectively confront the real challenges we face from fanatics who may use terrorism against us.”
