The Mujahedeen rebels were Islamic guerrilla fighters that were very diverse. Many of whom came from all over the region to fight the Soviets along with the muslim brothers . One of the fighters who came all the way from Saudi Arabia to fight with the Mujahedeen was Osama bin laden, who would be the founder of al-Qaeda in the early 1990’s , the terrorist organization responsible for the September 11 attack. Bin laden saw the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan as an attack on his Muslim brothers. Bin Laden was a fighter himself but used his connections to win financial and moral support for the Mujahedeen . He also encouraged young Middle easterners to join [you need the word the here] Afghan Jihad. Bin Laden had an organization that recruited…

The floored strike changed into the general ponder that went on the goliath impacts to the U.S government and either different nations around the globe too. Thousands modest individuals lost their lives amidst those shocking ambushes of terrorists. . No one knows when and where another snare like the one on September 11 will happen once more. In any case, the truth is "we are the imperative target". According to Patrick Coaty's "War on Terror", the terrorism has been made all through history. Base on this substances, we ought to be able to know by what means may we do to battle the war on trepidation, and we besides could set…
George W. Bush decided to find the people responsible for the attacks, but in the process, he not only sent troops to Afghanistan to look for the leader of Al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden, but he also sent troops to Iraq to finish what Bush’s father never finished back in the Gulf War which was to catch Saddam Hussein. Bush achieved that but there were still American troops there even after the capture of Hussein. When Obama was elected president, one of his goals was to remove troops out Iraq and to also end the war on terror. The first troops to withdraw were the ones in Iraq, when he was was first elected in 2009, he wanted 30,000 to 50,000 troops withdrawn from Iraq by 2010 (“Withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq”). By 2011 though, all troops were withdrawn from a war that was extremely unpopular. The war on terror was still a factor that concerned American citizens, as a result when Obama became president, he sent 30,000 troops to fight in the war in Afghanistan. In May of 2011, Osama bin Laden was killed in his compound in Pakistan. After the killing, bin Laden was thrown into the Arabian Sea within 24 hours (“Death of Osama bin Laden Fast Facts”). President Obama called it “the most significant achievement to date in our nation’s effort to defeat al Qaeda. Of course after the murder of bin Laden, he withdrew troops from Afghanistan. It did of course make that group significantly weaker, but three years later, a new group started to rise, ISIS. Late in Obama’s presidency, ISIS became a powerful extremist group in the Middle East through videotaped executions and even Terrorist Attacks like the Paris, Nice, and Brussels Attacks. The United States and other countries have targeted ISIS with 8,216 airstrikes since November 16, 2015 according to the Pentagon (Fantz). The responsibility of what to do with ISIS should be up to the next president’s job due to the fact that Obama’s…
Starting on September 11, 2001, the War on Terror has been waged for many years and has included many groups of people. On September 11, 2001, hijacked planes crashed in to the World Trade Center in New York City. Known as the Twin Towers, the World Trade Center is symbolic of the United State’s “economic power and military might” (Rahman). Immediately following the attacks, President Bush named Osama Bin Laden at fault and declared the War Against Terrorism. United States Congress had allocated billions of dollars and authorized President Bush to take any measures necessary (Moore). This war, however, is different from a typical war. President Bush told people to “go about their daily lives” unlike during World War II where 90% of Americans helped the war effort in some way. The war on terror is a war “without boundaries…directed against multiple enemies, not just one adversary” (Raz). The United States government has defined the war on terrorism against those who are declared “terrorists” or anyone accused of “harboring terrorists” (Rahman).…
The destruction of the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, has had a long-lasting impact on American domestic and foreign policy. For many years, the United States wasn’t officially engaged in any wars. Few of us had ever heard of al-Qaeda or Osama bin Laden, and ISIS didn’t even exist. The events of 9/11 had a significant effect on our society. The destruction of the twin towers graphically illustrated the dark side of globalization. Terrorists took advantage of a modern global society, the internet, open borders, and planes, to attack Americans at home. It sunk our economy into a massive deficit and engaged the U.S.A in a war in Afghanistan. The attacks on American soil were made to reduce support in the United States for the ‘offending’…
When the Taliban government didn’t cooperate with America to discover Osama Bin Laden, the US prepared to invade. The invasion started a month after the September 11 attacks and in just a mere five weeks the Taliban were driven from Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan. However, by removing the government the US did not remove the terrorists that the government had harbored. Bin Laden would eventually…
The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 have indeed affected the lives of Americans all over the United States. Everyone is aware that the events that took place on September 11th 2001 were a series of horrific tragedies, but they also brought a sense of unity amongst the nation, making Americans, in a sense, more patriotic. Along with this feeling of American pride and ‘standing as one’, Americans suddenly found something to unite against. While our military and government started a war in the Middle East, it seemed as if it became normalized to target anyone who shared the characteristics, religion, or background of al-Qaeda, those who were actually responsible for the September…
During times of war the role of the president’s is responsible for martial law. The military plays a role in the martial law because it is too make sure everything is governed correctly. Habeas Corpus is established so that a person can know what their charge is. However, if the defendant claim is denied the Supreme Court will take control over the trial. The United States has being the target of several terror attacks. Habeas corpus is an important civil right that should be given to those accused of committing acts of terror.…
With the collapse of the Soviet Union in the early 1990's and the cold war over, the international community seemed to be on the threshold of an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity. Instead, a new series of problems were created, like ethnic conflicts, weapons proliferation, environmental problems, population growth, drug trafficking, and terrorism. Terrorism, as defined by Title 22 of the United States code, section 2656f(d), is the "pre-meditated, politically motivated violence perpetrated against noncombatant targets by sub national groups or clandestine agents, usually intended to influence and audience." Islamic terrorism is a serious problem for the United States because of the threat to national security, the safety of innocent…
"One by one we're going to find them and piece by piece we'll tear their terrorist network apart." These words by George W Bush were the prelude to the US led invasion of Afghanistan, an invasion that would start arguably the most controversial war of our time and divide public opinion for years to come. The war on terror is used to describe this international military campaign that started as a reaction the September 11 terrorist attacks on the United States. The term “war on terror” was initially used to describe the post 9/11 war in Afghanistan against Al Qaeda and the Taliban but was however expanded in 2003 to include the Iraq war. But this inclusion of the war in Iraq which had no links to the Taliban or Al Qaeda makes the term much more stretched and contentious. The war in Iraq has often been criticised on the argument that the war in Iraq has in fact fostered global terrorism rather than preventing it. An important consequence of the war on terror that is often overlooked is the impact it has had on the policies of the United States. This is shown by the much more restrained approach of recent by the Obama administration in the wars in Libya and Syria.…
