In order to understand “War on Terror” and how it began, one must first go back to understand when it all began. On September 11, 2001 the country faced what has been one of the strongest attacks against America. On that day Americans first witnessed what would be something that would mark the country forever. The American life changed for good, people no longer felt protected or at peace. It was no longer the same; it was as though something had been taken away from them. Statistics show how on the day of the attack more than 3,000 people were killed, and more than 400 were police officers and firefighters. But it wasn’t just lives lost that day that scared the country, it was the attack against the nation that now over fourteen years, the country is still left facing and has continued to cause the lives of many.
On that same day of the attack former President Bush gave notice that the groups known as the Al-Qaeda were the ones associated with the attacks. That is when the country began to go to complete operation mode in protecting the nation and it’s people, and it began planning a war. It’s leader at the time President George W. Bush had made it clear that the country wasn’t going to sit back against any attack. He moved on pursuing a campaign that was meant to fight against the terrorist such as the al-Qaeda global operations. He then introduced the country to the term, “War on Terror,” for the very first time in September of 2001. By announcing it the president then made it clear “War on Terror” wasn’t just against the al-Qaeda, but it was against any global terrorist group. The overall mission for War on Terror was firstly to defeat the terrorist associated with organizations as the al-Qaeda. But it also wanted to end anything supporting terrorism and for most to protect the United States citizens. That is why when the Taliban refused to comply, President Bush initiated combat operations in Afghanistan during October 2001. Bush wanted the Taliban to give up bin Laden, but they weren’t accepting a defeat. That is when the United States led the war by sending out many of their troops out to fight in Afghanistan. During that period of time there was plenty of war, but the U.S. still had not captured bin Laden. The war on terror was starting to be a total lose, because of the lives being lost instead of a victory. It was starting to be unsure if it was the right move to have the continuation of war or just live in fear of another attack. Since the beginning the “War on Terror,” was initiated to protect the people of America from any possible attack. To defeat the Taliban and be victorious and to not lose what we have as a country. Fifteen years ago the country saw it as justifiable act that was the correct thing to do. Protect the oil and achieve political control against any threat. It didn’t become much of a question, until time kept passing by and things weren’t accumulating. “Prewar claims about weapons of mass destruction and Iraq’s connections to Al Qaeda and 9/11 had proved false, and a majority of Americans came to believe the war had been a mistake.” Questions such as, whether the country was really gaining something rather than losing? If the future of America was going to end well, due to the increase of loses such as the …show more content…
