What Is Osama Right To Retribution?

A month after the terrorist attack in the US, a war was launched by the United States. This war was known as the “fight back” war. It was the beginning of George Bush administration’s war on terrorism. The main theme of this war was to stop terrorism and catch Osama Bin Laden. He was the main person who planned this evil attack on September 11, 2001. Bin Laden’s trained groups that were

On September 11, 2001, a series of terrorist attacks were directed for the United States by means of four hijacked planes. Two of which hit the twin towers of the World Trade Center, one hit the Pentagon, the headquarters of the Department of Defense, and the fourth crashed in a field near Pittsburg after it was meant to hit the White House. The terror spread in the United States and brought concern and fear to the citizens. The impact of these terrorist attacks caused serious and detrimental damages within the country, and their result on the people were enormous; insecurity, helplessness, and susceptibility spread. Especially after the release of a videotape in which Osama Bin Laden, head of Al-Qaeda, admitted that he was responsible for the terrorist attacks. Hence, President George W, Bush declared the “war on terror” against all terrorists in the Arab world, specifically Afghanistan and Iraq. In the following paper, we will be discussing how the war on terror was waged, its effects on the target countries, and how it was perceived by political thinkers, where some saw it as a conspiracy theory against the Arab countries, and others believed the USA was the victim.

After the September 11 attacks, it was widely believed that the terrorists responsible were hiding throughout the hills and caves of Afghanistan. The United States chose to invade Afghanistan because it was searching for the terrorists. President Bush believed that the Taliban was hiding Osama Bin Laden and his people. The United States and our allies were successful at removing the threat during World War II, but while our military was able to overthrow the Taliban and capture some of Bin Laden’s associates, we are still involved in a war in the Middle East.

However, this sanction was perceived by Bin Laden the cause of Iraqi children dying, since medical supplies were cut short.”(bep.education.com). This was the beginning of Bin Laden's hatred of America and it only grew from here. With this quote in mind, it marks the rain before the storm. In past years, Bin Laden followed the teachings of extreme Arab nationalists, and this event gave him an opening to not only fuel his hatred, but to finally practice what he’s learned. Bin Laden blamed the US for their country's misfortunes, instead of blaming themselves for the deaths of thousands, and the disfigurement of their government. From the US’s point of view, by aiding their nation, it was like giving Hussein’s army each an automated weapon, telling them to fire again. Therefore, by controlling what was given to Iraq was the only way the US knew how to slow them down, and hopefully prevent them from killing again. However, the sanctions didn’t help at all, and instead Bin Laden found another way to get back at the US. This is evidenced by, “Bin Laden believed that the US could be beaten. He had seen examples of this. In 1983, a suicide attack on an American base in Lebanon killed 241 US

The issues raised by September 11 are less about constitutional war powers than about war wisdom. Under national and international law the President has legal authority to react in self-defense against this invasion of our territory. Even the most vigorous critics of executive power concede that under the Constitution the President is empowered, in Madison's words, to "repel sudden attacks." One might quibble over whether "repelling" an attack, which in the eighteenth century would have been a land or naval invasion by a foreign state, extends in this era to a military response outside the United States to an attack by unknown forces, but the principle

How would you feel if a man responsible for the deaths of 1,000’s of people was killed? Osama Bin Laden was born to a wealthy Saudi Arabian family. He got his start in the Military when he joined the Mujahideen and defended Afghanistan from the Soviet Union. Later in the early 90’s the US invaded Kuwait and stationed troops in Saudi Arabia, which got Bin Laden angry and he started conducting terrorist attacks against the US (CNN 1). The US was hunting Bin Laden for most of the 90’s and 2000’s (BBC 1). In 2011 he was finally found and killed. The assassination of Osama Bin Laden was just because he was an international terrorist; however others believed he was trying to stop American influence in the region.

Contrary to popular opinion claiming it to be righteous retribution for his acts of radical Islamist terror, the assassination of Osama bin Laden by the US government was unjustified because it was illegal under international law, morally wrong, and detrimental to national security.

Osama was against two things: Westernism and Judaism. Osama was a devout muslim, and was convinced that American and Western views were corrupting Islamic tradition. According to Elaine Landau, “The militant fundamentalists do not want Western corruption to infect the Muslim world.” He passionately believed in the Jihad, a war against enemies of Islam. The famous theorist stated, “Jihad is not confined to the summoning of troops and the establishment of huge forces. It takes various forms; from all the territories of Islam, there should arise a group of people reinforced with faith, well equipped with means and methods; and then let them set out to attack the

Did you ever take responsible for what you did? Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is claim himself as American enemy in his article of “The Language of War is killing”. He takes responsibility for the terrorist activity in 9/11, but he doesn’t take himself like a hero. He uses the title “The Language of War is Killing” to show the disagreement between him and America. According to Mohammed the war between American and Arab Muslim countries are never stop until the U.S.A stay away form Arab countries. Mohammed uses the same language to fight with America, but different style.

Ten years ago on September 11th, terrorists successfully carried out a plan to kill thousands of innocent American civilians. On that day millions of Americans watched in horror and disbelief. How could something like this happen on American soil? In quick retaliation, President George W. Bush forcefully declared a war against terrorism and specifically against those responsible for the slaughter of his people, Al Qaida. At the head of this organization and architect of “9-11” was a man by the name of Osama Bin Laden. He openly boasted of the devastation he had caused, which in turn enraged the American people. This man eluded us for the past ten years until a little over a week ago President Barack Obama announced to the world that

“Muslims, Bin Laden argues, must reverse a series of humiliations that they’ve endured since the Ottoman Empire, the last Muslim great power, was dismantled after World War I. Al-Qaeda’s 1998 declaration of a jihad, or holy war, against ‘Jews and Crusaders’ urges Muslims to attack ‘the Americans and their allies, civilian and military,’ supposedly as a response to U.S. policies that al-Qaeda feels oppress Muslims: the stationing of troops in Saudi Arabia; the backing of U.N. sanctions against Iraq; support for repressive Arab regimes; support for Israel; alleged complicity in Russian attacks on Muslims in Chechnya; and interventions in Bosnia, Somalia, and other Muslim regions that bin Laden sees as attempts to spread America’s empire. These Western policies, according to al-Qaeda, add up to a ‘clear

Zarqawi believed that the Koran and Shariah should be implemented in its purist form without fail and to its fullest extent. Also in Zarqawi’s view those who deviated even the slightest from the Koran and Shariah should proclaimed apostates and be given the appropriate punishment, usually death. For example, Zarqawi viewed Shiites practices as denying the Koran’s original perfection, thus they are marked for death. This is reflected in IS’s current to policy to purify the world via execution and other means those who deviate from the Koran and Shariah. Zarqawi’s belief was that an Islamic caliphate was an achievable event within his life time whereas Osama bin Laden believed an Islamic caliphate would not be achieved with his life time.

So far, I’ve discussed the death of a positive figure, but I was also intrigued about the response of media on the death of negative figures such as Osama bin Laden. When his death was announced, most news displayed pictures of Osama bin Laden holding a gun. On one of the polish news, the above picture was presented:

Ever since the bombing of the World Trade Center on February 1993 the United States of America has stepped up its commitment to stopping terrorism. The general public after the bombing also took a new view on Islam, a negative one. The February 7 arrest of Ramzi Yousef made the world open its eyes to Islamic terrorists. The FBI is even involved in terrorist investigations and it does not help the image of the Islamic people that most wanted man by the United States of America is Usama Bin Laden, a Saudi Arabian. He is the leader of the terrorist organization known as Al-Qaeda, which is one of the most active terrorist groups. His central issue is the United States presence in the Arabian Peninsula and the military presence in his former homeland Saudi Arabia. Bin Laden made a declaration in February 1999 in the name of his "International Islamic Front for Jihad against Jews and Crusaders." He stated that "to kill Americans and their allies, both civil and military, is an individual duty of every Muslim who is able, in any country where this is possible." These kinds of statements are immediately taken by the Western media and given to the public. The public of course reacts with anger and creates a bias against

Although, it did not take long before America realized that the Al Qaeda group was responsible for the Sept. 11 attacks. In addition, the organization was led by Osama bin Laden. Besides, the Al Qaeda group had declared war openly on the States of America (Capone, 2011). As a result, the group was ready to terminate lives of innocents’ lives in America and the entire world. Therefore, America started war against Al Qaeda with the aim of protecting the citizens, friends as well as allies. However, after 10 years of the heroic and tireless effort of American military with the tireless support of the counter-terrorism professionals American had yielded some fruits. In addition, America had strengthened its homeland defense and disrupted attacks by the
