War On Terror Analysis

After the September 11th attacks, the United States of America and the rest of the West found their democracies and republics in conflict with the Islamic world and left unable to fully judge the context of the attacks. Roger Scruton offers a conceptual explanation and argument to answer the question “What is exactly Western civilization, and what holds it together?”. He uses his answer to help explain the cultural, political, and social struggle between the internal worlds of Western civilization and Islamic civilization. Scruton’s The West and the Rest: Globalization and the Terrorist Threat gives context, proof, and commentary on the continuities and discontinuities between Western and Islamic principles to emphasize the need for

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.

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

Jan Pettman mentions after President Bush's speech about the war on terror it was almost the end of feminist groups. The transnational feminist had their hopes ruined by those who were strongly for the war.

The following essay is to address the “War on Terror” and why the Patriot Act should be amended. The first part of changing the Patriot Act would be giving back the legal rights of the American people that are legal citizens. The rights of legal representation, speedy and public trials and rights to liberty also, freedom of speech, information, association and unreasonable searches have been taken away from legal citizens of the United States.

According to the author Reza Aslan it was always a mistake for the U.S. to use the phrase “War on Terror” in the fight against certain extremist groups. Also Aslan feels that the war has been posited from the start as a war of ideology. Aslan feels it is a mistake to use the phrase “war on terror” because it does not coincide with the reason for fighting the war. In the essay Aslan states that the phase has always been problematic because the war was never meant to be a war against terrorism. If it was then it would have included the Muslims over the world that are supposedly the real terrorist. Aslan also agree with the Bush administration that the war on terror was targeted at a particular brand of terrorism. He also feel as though the

Reza Aslan publishes a book about the war on terror. He says it is a cosmic war. This means the war is a battle between good and evil, fought for religious reasons instead of for more land or better economy. The war on terror has been fought since October 7th, 2001, after the nine eleven terrorist attacks for the US. Back then, the enemy, al-Qaeda, wants to control how people think and worship Islam. Now, we are dealing with ISIS, which is another enemy in the war on terror. Reza Aslan thinks that the War on Terror is a “Cosmic War”. I agree that the War on Terror is a “Cosmic War”. Not only because the goal of the terrorist groups isn’t not to have economic nor territorial gain. Also, the terrorist organizations can’t be stopped if we only used weapons against them.

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.

Many victims have been harmed from the terrorism for a long time. It is impossible for victims who are effected by the terrorism to live safely. Cruel terrorist group even attack female and children. The incidence of terrorism is increasing in the world. It is big problem in the world because countries worry about their citizen from the terrorism. The United States and other countries stuck to continue the war on terror. The war on terrorism has fought for a long time. The terrorism has had long history. Since ancient countries had existed, terrorism has been always with countries which are not only advanced country but also underdeveloped country. The World state always prepares to prevent from attacking of the terrorist. Each countries concludes conference such as international environment which is related defense of state. If one countries is attacked by the terrorist group, others could support it. However, methods of the terrorism are evolved over the long time such as an economic terrorism, a suicide bombing, cyber terror, and etc. The terrorist group as Al-Qaeda attacks innocent people thorough different ways. The terrorist group attacks these countries citizen and threatens countries with the hostage. Some countries such as Iran, Syria, North Korea, and Libya support the terror. The United States has never taken no prisoner with the threat since the 9/11

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.

There are several terrorist groups throughout the world today. All the terrorist groups have one common goal and that is to rid the world of Americans and western influence from the Muslim world. There is one organization that has ties to most of all the terrorist groups in the world and is the most infamous group in the world today and that is the group called Al-Qaeda The word Al-Qaeda means “the base” in Muslim. As an international terrorist organization led by Osama bin Laden. The group seeks to rid Muslim countries of western influence and replace them with fundamentalist Islamic regimes. Al-Qaeda grew out of the of the ashes of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1988, after it helped expel the Soviet

Furthermore, the West in general and the United States in particular, has been accused of, and rightly so, holding the Arab-Islamic world to a double standard. Historically and contemporarily the United States has supported repressive regimes such as those in Saudi Arabia, Iran under the Shah, and Pakistan under Zia ul-Haq, when doing so was in its political and military interests. Support of these repressive regimes was tendered while simultaneously speaking of freedom and “supporting” the democratization of the Muslim world. As a result, it is likely that cited incompatibilities are not between Islam and democracy per se, but rather between Islam and attempts at compelled democratization by

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 Bush Doctrine vastly expanded what the United States deems a “vital interest”—dragging preëmptive action, unilateralism, and anti-terrorism under its umbrella. Democratizing nations plays a critical role in the strategy as well. A spirit of liberalism flows through the Doctrine, as it attempts to depose tyrannical dictators to ease relations between nations and foster democracy. It
