Understanding Of War On The Terror

On September 11, 2015 the greatest act of terror known was committed at the World Trade Center, as well as the Pentagon. The terrorist group known as al-Quaeda coordinated an attack by hijacking U.S. commercial flights and sending two planes into the World Trade Center and another into the Pentagon. Luckily, a fourth flight was retaken by the passengers and could not reach its target, yet sadly it crashed in a Pennsylvanian valley. This event broke the hearts of American citizens and citizens worldwide, and the actions coming after wards would have a huge impact on America.

September 11, 2001 was a very tragic day but at the same time a very heart shaping experience. The men and women who ran into burning building trying to help the helpless had great courage and personal honor. Every person that had been hurt or killed during this horrific ordeal were rescued and treated as needed. The fallen rescuers did not even think of their own lives, just the people who needed the help. The personal honor that drives a man to search for up to 18 hours straight, looking for any sign of life, honors those lost, and honors his country.

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.

After the September 11 attacks, George W. Bush called for a war against Afghanistan in an effort to destroy terrorist organizations. In his statement on Military Order from 2001, Bush explains that if the United States did not use military action against these groups, then terrorists would continue to attack America or other countries and take even more lives (Bush). For Bush, war was the only answer in order to protect his country. Similarly, Vice President Richard Cheney advocated war in the Middle East. He remarked that the American government would target states that assisted terrorists or supported them, as well as individual terrorists. He also claimed that the war was effective as of 2003, and that the military had destroyed certain

On September 11, 2001 is a very known and sad date for every american. On this day four different terrorist planes hit the largest buildings, the twin towers were 50,000 people work. When this happened everybody had to not become selfish and needed to help one another. After this took place many people died and were

herefore, I believe that the attack on September 11, 2001 was a devastating day in American history. Not only did it kill many innocent people and destroy buildings and air planes, it ruined our economy and put us into a never ending war. Two hours on that Tuesday morning are having enormous ripple effects on the last 11 years since

September 11, 2001 is the saddest day that America has ever experienced. The terrorist attack that took place killed over 2,000 innocent American citizens and left their families and loved ones in sorrow. The terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001 was such a terrifying day every single American and for every other country in the world. The United of America will never forget 9/11, the day Osama Bin Laden planned a terrorist attack on the United States by hijacking two passenger planes and steering them into the World Trade Center, and hijacking a third plane and steering it into the Pentagon. The field trip that we took to the 9/11 Memorial this past Monday was a great and humbling experience. Being that I was only four

Tuesday, September 11th 2001. What seemed like an ordinary day, would soon become one for the books. People rushed to work and frantically prepared for their day. The events that occurred that day had lasting impacts on America. Air travel has become more of a hassle, deportation nearly skyrocketed and New Yorkers face health issues to this day.

The “War on Terror” is a term used to describe the military action taken by America and Canada after the events of September 11, 2001. This phrase is symbolic of the justification of acts that varied in legality and morality as a means to safe guard the security of the nation. These actions were perceived as necessary, top priority and essential but in actuality striped individuals of their rights, were unconstitutional and based not of factual information but racism and bigotry. The justifying of such intrusive acts in the name of protecting the nation is not a new phenomenon but can be dated back to the mid nineteen hundreds and is still used today. Canada prides itself as a multi-cultural, open and accepting nation. However, the presence

The most tearful and saddest day is the September 11, 2011. If I was in that day during that event, kids like myself going to school and only put themselves glued to a television screen or all the news of the radio to hear horror story as two air planes rammed themselves into the World Trade Center. For those who were students, it was a vision that they cannot comprehend as people were screaming and begging for help on the ground while those who was in those building at that time of the attack jumped off to get a quick death. And for children at those moments, when they went home, they could not see their parents, their brothers

December 7th 1941 is a sad day for the United States. That is the day that the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. The attack began early in the morning and it was definitely unexpected, the soldiers that were present hardly had any time to react. It was a sad day because of the amount of men killed, there were over 2000 American casualties and over 1000 wounded. Families were destroyed and changed forever.

September 11th, 2001. This was one of the darkest days in all of American history. A terrorist attack on the U.S.A. that left so many horrified for the future. The event of 9-11 emphasizes how important it is for Americans to stand together, thus revealing that because of negative events, a positive future will soon follow.

The war on terrorism in the United States began after the September 11 attacks on the United States. Following the war was a series of military campaigns carried out to destroy terrorist organizations in the Middle-East. Led by the George W. Bush administration, America made goals for the war on terror to defeat main targets and terrorist leaders such as Osama bin Laden. The invasion of the Middle-East was supported by the American people at first. After three more years Saddam Hussein’s weapons of mass destruction no longer existed. Multiple terrorist forces fighting Al-Qaeda were taken down. However, America has maintained its military presence in the region until present day. According to Will Fight for Oil by Ted Koppel, if production of oil from the Persian Gulf stopped the American economy would be devastated. The american economy runs on oil; a large percentage of the oil we use comes from the Middle-East. The United States invaded Iraq in 2003 has not left yet because of the possible dangers of a Middle-East without American military presence. Without American supervision the regional instability of the Middle East could be very bad for oil production. To protect the American interests in the region military forces have not been removed. The people at home are all aware that we have American soldiers in the region. American civilians are used to living in a country at war. The constant period of America at war starting in 2003, has made America always prepared for

Do you ever have one of those moments in your life in which you will never forget where you were? I remember waking up early on September 11, 2001, getting ready for school and my dad telling me hurry up to watch the news with him. Being in 8th grade at the time, the news really wasn’t something I would watch in the mornings so I knew it had to be something important. Then I saw it. An airplane crashing into a tower, people panicking, and mayhem ensuing in a city very well known to me. When any tragic event like 9/11 occurs, the effect it will have on a nation is tremendous. It left America in shock, anger, and sadness just to name a few adjectives to describe the insurmountable amount of feelings that we felt on that day.

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.
