The U.S. Congress passed a declaration that permitted American troops to be in Afghanistan after the terrorist attacks in September 2001 (Reuters 12). Amitai Etzioni claims “America invaded Afghanistan to stop it from serving as a base for terrorists of the kind who attacked us on 9/11,” (Etzioni 4). Which means America is trying to make an end to all terrorist attacks on the country. America will no longer accept Afghanistan’s responsibility for the deaths of the American people that has been occurring
Many said that the attacks were about religions or something of that sort, but the attacks were about far more than religion. In Osama’s first television debut he mentioned that the U.S. can avoid another attack like the Sep.11 attack if the U.S. stops threatening the security of the Muslims. The U.S. government insists that the motive for the Sep.11 attack was because of the U.S. support of Israel, the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, and sanctions against Iraq. The President at the time, which was George Bush called for a “War on Terror” that would continue until all of the terrorists groups had been found, captured, and defeated to prevent attacks like this in the future. In this interview Bin Laden said he order the Sep 11 attack because of injustices against the Lebanese and Palestinians by
Final Paper: Operation Iraqi Freedom Juan Lizama Com/172 June 19, 2012 Nancy Long Operation Iraqi Freedom In September 11, 2001 the United States (US) was attacked by terrorist, and changed America forever. It also altered and heightened the security of the country. After the Taliban were defeated out of Afghanistan, president Bush, and his administration sought to other problems around the world. President Bush saw Iraq as the next fight in terrorism. The administration had to somehow convinced the United Nations (UN) that Iraq is not respecting and upholding the laws that they were supposed to be abiding by.
U.S. is fighting against Iraq and Afghanistan to bring back democracy and freedom to those countries. In Iraq they were only in search for resources, they wanted oil. The previous President, George W. Bush had claimed he was on a mission from God when he launched the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq.” (George Bush: 'God Told Me to End the Tyranny in Iraq', Oct. 2005) This sounds familiar to what President Polk was saying back in 1846, on how God has given them the mission to proceed with the invasion of these countries. U.S. is trapped in a cycle of maintaining that it is going to war for another country’s benefit. However, this is just an excuse to justify their own selfish reasons for going to war.
After your successes in Afghanistan with the removal of the Taliban, you began making claims that Iraq was in possession of weapons of mass destruction, materials that were capable of killing many people at one time. You also confirmed that these weapons were in danger of potentially falling into the hands of terrorists. Although this point was excellent in proving your loyalty to protecting our freedoms and liberties, there was little intelligence that actually confirmed these reports. Scott Ritter, in his book called War on Iraq: What Team Bush Doesn’t Want You to Know, highlights his seven years as a weapons inspector in Iraq during his time with the United Nations. He talks about how he and other weapons inspectors were able to confirm that Iraq's chemical, biological, and nuclear weapons programs were effectively destroyed, counter to current White House claims.
But the Bush administration was so adamant that they would not give up. They said that war was a necessity for the safety of Americans. Even when the Iraq war was fought on the basis of Iraq’s chemical weapon capacity, President Bush always addressed the Iraq war as the war on terrors. He made the people believe that the Al-Qaeda was hiding in Iraq but it has been proved to be wrong. Many believe that the Iraq war was a fatal mistake and it actually heightened terrorist activities.
Consequently to the 9/11 attacks, the United States Government made significant modifications to what is surely considered to be one of the Countries most significant and important documents that has stood almost in tacked for over 200 years. Accordingly, our generation has earned the distinction of experiencing one of this century’s most important controversy. Therefor the debate of weather or not the Bush administration and congresses actions were un-American will go on, for possibly ever. Though no reasonable person can dispute the need to give the authorities we task with keeping our precious children safe from extremists who want nothing more than to see us dead, the tools they need to do what is seemingly an impossible job. Therefore, our modern day Jefferson’s and Franklins are guaranteed to have notched their place in history for acting so quick as to pass such big and heavy bill faster than any legislation has ever been passed before.
