The Tragedy Of The War On Terror

According to Raskin (1992) the timing of the assassination could not of been any worse then it was (p. 494). The nation felt like their hearts had been ripped out of their chests and they had no clue how to fill that whole. President John F. Kennedy brought a young, handsome, and calming appeal to the White House and the nation loved it. There could always be another young and handsome President, but the calming presence brought to the table by President Kennedy is something that the nation felt could not be replaced. The level of reassurance President Kennedy offered the nation really made the nation feel safe in a time of communism and nuclear war threats. President Kennedy knew how to get the nations attention through emotional appeal. With him being gone now the nation felt a massive void left. Who was going to protect them from all things evil and bad? That was the main way the assassination emotionally scarred the nation. The amount of unknowns was more then the American public could handle. The United States people were left without their young, handsome, and

Kennedy’s death has impacted our nation as a whole, as we acknowledge a man of wisdom and prosperity. Kennedy had plans to make action of change and adjustment while in office, but couldn’t achieve that due to a major setback. One great impact is that we lost a leader of our country, and experience the sorrow of his lost in harmony. Leaving America in doubt of hope and change, which was promised. Another impact is that 16,000 military advisors had been dispatched to the country (http://millercenter.org). The Warren Commission’s report, which found Oswald to be the sole assassin, led to widespread dissent and confusion among the American public; with many questions about Oswald’s time spent in the Soviet Union. The Vietnam War turned out to be the first United States loss in a long term armed conflict in history.

        John F. Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963 while he rode in a motorcade through Dealey Plaza.The assassinator,Lee Harvey Oswald killed not just Kennedy but someone by the name of J.D. Tippit. This topic is important because some people say that he was the greatest president the united states ever had cause of all the things that benefited americans and all the things to do with civil rights, while others say that he was the worst because of all of the bad things that happened during his time as president.He also thought that peace was the most important thing to maintain during his time as president. The assassination of John F. Kennedy was unjust because he was a war hero, civil rights activist but people thought that he was responsible for the bay of pigs plan.

Assassinations in American history have had a great impact on the social system. Upheavals based on opinion within a society cause chaos and discourse. Assassinations have major consequences not just on the country in question, but on everyone. For example, the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand led to the United States entering World War I. The United States didn’t want to enter the war; but this particular assassination forced America’s hand back and pulled us into war. Sometimes assassinations occur as a result of an event. Another example is in the case of Abraham Lincoln. He was assassinated because of the anger and

Bang! Three gunshots rang out when all attention was placed on the motionless body of John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the united states, which his head has been severely wounded. The man most known for negotiating the Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty and initiated the Alliance for Progress was assassinated in front of the public in Dallas. He was killed as if it was a public execution with Henry Oswald, JFK’s assassin, as the executioner. This was one of the most devastating deaths in America. Most assassinations are done because of personal opinion on a person. However, former president, JFK, assassination was absolutely not an exception. JFK’s assassination was not justified for the reason is that he impacted America’s politics and lifestyle, he had big plans, and was killed without a clear motive.

Kennedy have to die. The murderer of our awesome president was Lee Harvey Oswald. And they say that this killing was far more devastating than Lincoln's Killing and it was from all the sole reason of modern security. I JFK’s time there were things as popular like bulletproof vests, and there were the best armor of the day. And the reason there deaths are so remembered is because they both spoke greatly, they had both given great speeches.

“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty or safety”- Benjamin Franklin. “Political liberty consists in security or, at least, in the opinion one has of one's security”-Montesquieu. On September 11th, 2001, the United States was devastated by terrorist attacks that destroyed infrastructure and killed thousands of civilians. This was arguably the most severe attack on the United States and with it came a panic and fear for future aggregations. Soon after the September 11th terrorist attacks on New York City and Washington D.C., Congress rushed into action and quickly passed antiterrorism legislation known as the USA Patriot Act. The title of the act is a ten-letter acronym [USA PATRIOT] that stands for Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act. The act was understood to give the government sweeping authority to take necessary safety measures like conducting electronic surveillance via the Internet. The initial Patriot Act was passed by President George W. Bush in 2001. On May 26, 2011, President Barack Obama signed the PATRIOT Sunsets Extension Act of 2011, which is a four-year extension of three key provisions in the USA PATRIOT Act: roving wiretaps, searches of business records also known as the "library records provision", and conducting surveillance of "lone wolves".

No nation has had to watch their president be killed like JFK. Having been such a well liked president and politician for the short time that he was in office, he really made difference in such a stressful era. The sudden and immediately shocking assassination of John F. Kennedy was very detrimental to our american society as it sent a chilling message to our entire nation. Although our nation was immediately affected by a presidential change with the loss of the president, overtime we see how many possible situations could’ve been voided. When we lost JFK we were left with Lyndon B. Johnson who was unable to fill JFK’s

The beginning of “The War on Terror”. “The appeal of justice and liberty in the end, is greater than the appeal of hatred and tyranny in any form.”(Bush).Bush’s comment was referring to “The War on Terror” because he was in presidency during this year so this quote said by him means that he wants freedom for everyone.The solution to the “U.S.’s War on Terror” is ITA researchers, Antiterrorism Assistance Program, The Institute for the Study of War and The Critical Threats Project.

at home and and abroad could be far more valuable assets than military triumphs”. Compared to Irish civilians during the begging of the fight towards independence, the FLN did not receive much support from the native population. The FLNs tendency to terrorize indigenous Alger’s, shake down villagers for money, and kill those who resisted contributed to the native populations indifference attitude towards the FLNs cause. In 1956, the FLNs leaders realized they had to change their strategy in order to attract international attention. They believed that the use of terrorism would gain them credibility amongst the Muslim population and lead to an increase in violence by French authorities against Muslim population. The increase in terrorism by the FLN lead to the desperate retaliation by the French.

After the events of September 11, 2001, the United States had a unique dilemma. America was engaged in what would be called a “War on Terror”. This new conflict was unlike any in American history. Previously, in the context of war the United States had always fought a nation or group that had defined boundaries as to where they resided. This new conflict went away from these rules of the past. Terrorist groups were not bound to a region, but were instead united by an ideal. September 11 marked the first time in which terrorism would rise to the forefront of the nation’s agenda. This emergent wave of conflict required a different strategy than the those of the past because of the unorthodox nature of the opponent. One of the major innovations fostered by the “War on Terror” was the expansion of torture. The dramatic rise in terrorism sparked the unethical advancement of interrogation techniques in order to more effectively acquire information. The emergence of the “War on Terror” required government officials acquire intelligence in a new way thus spawning the emergence of “enhanced interrogation” methods, however, the morality of these techniques would come into question as they were revealed to the public.

The world has been changed forever since the tragic attack on September 11, 2001. An observer described the atrocity by saying, "It just went 'bam,' like a bomb went off. It was like holy hell (CNN 1). " The new world will be different from what any American has known before. A new war has arisen, not against a foreign country or a major region of the world, but rather against a select group of people who have the capabilities to destroy the lives of so many. The war against terrorism which the United States is now forced to wage will not be an easily won battle. This war will not be fought solely on scattered battlefields in certain countries. It will instead permeate through every aspect of life as we

Ever since the beginning of the terrorist attacks on American soil, the War on Terror has been involved in the lives of Americans and nations near us. The War on Terror’s background originated through conflicts between warring countries in the Middle East; U.S. involvement started when a terrorist guided plane crashed into the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 in New York City. The attack was suspected to be the work of the middle-eastern terrorist group Al-Qaeda. The U.S. military, under the leadership of then commander-in-chief George W. Bush, declared a “War on Terror” on the terrorist group and the fighting began.

The fight on terrorism has been at the forefront of American attention and media since the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11. On this day is when the history of the nation will be changed forever. The United States now finds itself victim to the deadliest terrorist attack the nation has ever seen. This war on terror will continue to present day and it does not feel like the country is any closer to removing terrorism from the world. This fight on terror, as valiant as it may be may have been causing more issues around the world and for the country. The most controversial topic from this has been the consistent airstrikes the United States has been conducting in the Middle East. This system is not working in favor of the country or anyone who opposes the terrorists and wants to prevent them from getting stronger.

The Global War on Terror is a military campaign led by the United States and the United Kingdom and supported by other NATO members. It was originally against al Qaeda and other terrorist organizations with the purpose of eliminating them. This paper discusses how the Bush Administration handled the War on Terror as well as different aspects of it, including its terminology, its objectives, its military operations and criticism against it.
