Another plane plunged in the Pentagon killing 186 people, the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania after the passengers on the plane charged the hijackers which caused them to lose control of the plane, in result everyone on board died. Iraq felt the United States got what they deserved because of past and present U.S. policies in the Middle East. Palestinians praised the terrorist attacks against Americans because U.S. continuing support for Israel and its military presence in Saudi Arabia. However the policies towards the Middle East do not justify the 9/11 attacks by the Al Qaeda network. The attack was acted out of frustration by people who failed to confront the oppressive governments internally in their dual struggle. President George W. Bush confronted Al Qaeda and demanded that Afghanistan turn Bin Laden over to the U.S. After Taliban failed to meet the demand, the U.S. provided military assistance to the Northern Alliance. In March troops were deployed in the land and the act was called “war against global terrorism. The expenses of these attacks were out of control.

    This attack killed thousands of Americans. As a result, the U.S. declared war on Afghanistan in pursuit of retaliating for their nation, preventing future attacks from Afghanistan, capturing al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden and removing the Taliban regime.

While the fight against al-Qaeda and the search for Osama Bin Laden continued in Afghanistan, President Bush became worried about attacks from other terrorists. There wasn’t enough evidence that Saddam Hussein had any link to al-Qaeda, but intelligence reports indicated that Iraq could be the next source of danger and soon Bush’s administration turned its attention to…

    Bush. Bush was taken off guard when his chief of staff informed him that the United States was under attack. The Bush administration responded to the attacks on the world trade center by expanding presidential power through the aspect of national security. George W.

    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).…
