War on Terror
PROPOSAL
Executive Summary
The growing tension in Pakistan is because of many reasons. One of the main reasons is its support to America on war against terrorism. This war on terror has made deep roots in Pakistan. America started its war in Afghanistan with the help of Pakistan. American air basis, training camps, CIA agents, and black water troops started to expand in Pakistan. Mujahdin who were fighting in Afghanistan then targeted Pakistan for its support of America. All of this resulted to the present day situation of Pakistan. Pakistan is isolated from rest of the world, no relation with neighbors except China, earned the tag of failed state during the last decade. A solution to the present crisis is to detach itself from the war on terror and focus on the internal threats and start eliminating them one by one.
Thesis Statement
American war on terror is destabilizing Pakistan.
Project Plan
First of all I am going to point out the main reasons for America’s so far defeat in Afghanistan with the help of my research. Fighting against soldiers in Afghanistan which American’s themselves created to give defeat to Soviet Union when they attacked Afghanistan. And now they are fighting against their own creation. As America is having full support of Pakistan in Afghanistan the Mujhaidin of Afghanistan started doing attacks in Pakistan. As a result of this Pakistan situation is getting worst day by day. Then I will elaborate what this War on terror has done to Pakistan. The government of Pakistan, Afghan President, officials of US has themselves admitted that the war on terror is affecting Pakistan the most. There have been 35000 deaths and injuries since the day Pakistan accepted to take part in this War on terror. There have been damages to Pakistan infrastructure of worth $68 billion. A popular belief now a day is that the war will be shifted from Afghanistan to Pakistan when in 2014 American forces will start leaving Afghanistan. American insurgencies

    President George declared a war on terror shortly after the attacks on the world trade center and the Pentagon. The U.S. gave the Taliban and the Afghan government an ultimatum to turn over Osama Bin Laden and they refused. The US and NATO invaded and the Taliban government was toppled in eight weeks with the help of the Northern Alliance. The U.S. continued to punish and pursue Al Qaeda into the mountains and surround them. Our military was within weeks of crushing Al Qaeda when the Bush Administration shifted focus to Iraq. This created a vacuum that led to an Al Qaeda resurgence. The U.S. loosing focus on Afghanistan angered our Pakistani ally. A decade later we our no closer to winning the war in Afghanistan than we were in the beginning. Even with Bin Laden dead American casualties have sky rocketed from 270 in 2008 to 3,371 last year. We are now left in a quagmire in Afghanistan because we failed to complete the job in Afghanistan, while fighting an unneeded expensive war in Iraq. (Hirsch)…

    The War on Terror is tough to define. It is considered a war, but not in the traditional sense. When one thinks of war they think of enemies, a battlefield, weapons, and death. However, the war on terror is slightly different. The lines that define enemies and allies are blurred, there is no battlefield, and the weapons come in all shapes and sizes. Nonetheless, there has still been death.…

    In an article published in October of 2011, former The New Yorker staff writer Mark Danner published an article in which he introduced the idea of post-9/11 America as a country in a “State of Exception.” In Danner’s own words, “this state has as its defining characteristic that it transcends the borders of the strictly legal…a position at the limit between politics and law...an ambiguous, uncertain, borderline fringe, at the intersection of the legal and the political” (Danner, 2011). Essentially, the rule of law can temporarily be set aside in the case of emergency. As foreign as this concept may seem, he notes that this is not the first time America has lived through this—the “altered America” of the world war eras can both be defined, by…
