Yes he was justified, if a nation attacks you, and you have a bunch of them living here, what else could you expect than some of them would join in for the enemy, their own country, and do things like sabotage. You would try to sort them out, good guys from bad, but in the sudden emergency of this war, you have to take big, hard, steps first, then only later get to the sorting of it all out. Japan would have been prudent to pull its citizens out of America before bombing it. That was their foreseeable responsibility. It is they who failed their people.…
On Feb 24, 1990, the armored vehicles of the Iraqi military force were poorly outdated and it wasn’t supplied to its fullest so it was rapidly overwhelmed by the United States and the other coalition forces. By the end of the day, over 8,000 Iraqi military troops were held as prisoners and a United States air strip was established with-in the perimeters of Iraq. After a few days of a ground offensive push, Kuwait was then freed from the grips of Iraq and a lot of Iraq’s military force wither was destroyed or they had returned back to their country on the end of their…
Although terrorism has been around for millennia in different forms, today terrorism is becoming more and more prevalent with the ability to reach across the globe. Terrorism is defined as “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government and/or the civilian population to advance ideological objective” (Schwab, p.115). These attacks can be performed by individuals or by groups. They may also be either overt or covert attacks. An example of an overt attack is when planes were hijacked on September 11, 2001, destroying the twin towers at the World Trade Center in New York and hitting the Pentagon in Washington D.C.…
On March 19, 2003, President George W. Bush addressed the nation to explain Operation Iraqi Freedom: "My fellow citizens. At this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger…" (Full 1). What was the “grave danger” our President was talking about? The grave danger was the country’s ability to use WMD’s, chemical/biological weapons and its ties to Al Qaeda.…
ISIS. A term you hear frequently on the news and, well, pretty much everwhere else, too. Do we actually know what ISIS is, or do we just go by what we hear over the news? ISIS stands for the Islamaic State of Iraq and Syria. ISIS is run by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.…
Everything up to a point is okay on how the United States has fought the war on terror. If the focus was on how to stop terrorism from getting over to the United States or where this all started from, the success would be great. Instead, America is only protecting the U.S. and only being concerned about individual safety. Security after 9/11 is not as punctual as it was before 9/11. America is in more danger than before 9/11 because tightening the rules, restrictions and people on the no fly list for example, makes for different ways of thinking about how to overcome security and other obstacles set in place.…
On the morning of September 11th 2001 the United States was struck with the biggest terrorist strike in the history of the nation. Ultimately this attack changed the way we look at and fight terrorism. The 9/11 attacks were carefully plotted out, using very sophisticated measures to complete the objective. Since this attack, many have pondered how they received the training it takes to pull off an attack of this magnitude. When you are able to kill over 3000 people through a series of sophisticated planned strikes, one begins to question the background of these men.…
Isis is a dangerous group that the United States must be prepared to handle however with the amount of resources and weaponry the defeat of ISIS is possible. The world thinks of Isis as a terrorist group who is prepared to rule the world which is true yet are we aware of what they believe? Peace as many know is a foreign idea to the group, religion is extremely important to ISIS; They are a religious group with carefully considered beliefs. Among them that is a key part of the so called upcoming "apocalypse".…
Al-baghdadi once wasn’t a threat, and look what happened. Isis isn’t a “JV” team as President Obama has referred to them, they are much more dangerous than that. I will personally volunteer to go and fight these cowards as soon as the commands are made. If giving up my life means millions of others will live peacefully, then I’ll take it. Women should not be burned and killed because they refuse to have sex with a man.…
Isis and Set: A Comparison Egyptian Mythology differentiated itself from other kinds of mythology. The egyptians used mythology to get closer with the land and earth. The men and women were always created equal so no one sex held more power than the other. There was no such thing as discrimination. Egyptian Mythology was the backbone of Egyptian Culture.…
The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS) is a middle eastern terrorist group who are trying to take down whomever is in their path. This group will stop at nothing to get what they want be it destroying history, kidnappings, or public executions. ISIS is not after one particular place, they are after the whole world to bring a new caliphate under Islamic ideals. Their leader, named Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is a man who is bringing the world to shock, mainly because of how…
Terrorism has been a terrible act of hate and violence against multiple groups that people have been fighting for decades to eradicate. ISIS is just one of the many extremist organizations that Iraq and many other countries have been trying to dismantle over the course of numerous years. Currently, a fight in Iraq is taking place for the anti-ISIS forces to take over one of the largest cities under the control of the terrorist group. About one million residents of the Mosul fled their city when the influence of ISIS was involuntary thrusted upon them. Thousands of Iraqi security forces, Peshmerga forces and Paramilitary units, along with a few hundred American troops, will work together in a fight that could take months to invade Mosul.…
This war is murdering people. The answers for ending the war on terror is to make a Peace Treaty, to forgive and never look back, and to bring down ISIS since we have to end this the "right" way, so we can have peace, thus they can have peace moreover. September 11, 2001 began as any other day, with the news, radio stations, and individuals going to work. At 7:59 AM, American Airlines Flight…

But many arguments spark up about as to what is morally right in fighting a war.…
The United States need to continue the war on terror for the sake of people in the countries controlled by terrorists, to protect our allies, and most importantly, the War on Terror is working. One reason We need to continue the ‘War on Terror’ is that we need to help the people in third world countries being controlled by terrorists. People like Irving Kristol from ‘The National Interest’ say the ‘War on Terror should end because civilians are being hurt and or killed’. If people are talking about the civilian loss of life, the…
