One person alone without any command or assistances does a lone terrorist from the group.
After September 11, 2001, Osama Bin Laden’s name was spread worldwide like a deadly disease. Bin Laden, leader of the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda, organized and hijacked four planes destined for the US. Over 3,000 lives were taken, during a terrorist attack when 19 of the group’s militants bombed the Pentagon and World Trade Center in New York City. Approximately 400 of this number police officers or firefighters, and an additional 10,000 injuries occurred, many severe. On May 1, 2011, when Bin Laden was shot and killed, the question arose: which devastated the United States more, the 9/11 attack or the decade long, costly search for their terrorist?
The United States fought unnecessary wars in Vietnam and Iraq. The war on communism, in Vietnam, severed the United States compared to the war on terrorism, in Iraq. During both wars the U.S. Military spent millions to billions of money, deaths were extremely high, and both failed to accomplish their purpose. Firstly the Iraq War dealt massive harm to the United States in multiple ways.
The War on Terror was effective. It improved security and made U.S. citizens safer against terrorism around the world. President George Bush worked to counter terrorist threats, and stop threats within the U.S. He implemented a foreign policy against terrorism around the world, improving homeland security. In Do Not Take the War on Terror’s Big Success for Granted, they show the success that the U.S. had.
There is no doubt that the United States government made mistakes during the military’s occupation of Iraq. Outside of the fact that they should not have been there, the actions taken there were irresponsible and proved to be fatal. Once the nation was offended by US military presence, the society went into chaos. About 4,000 Americans died in Iraq alone. The United States proved to act on impulse during this tragic event.
Muckraking Isis There is a serious problem in the world today involving Isis. If it gets worse, which it probably will the whole world could be in a big dilemma. It’s only in a couple countries right now, but it could easily go worldwide. Isis is a terrorist group kind of like Al Qaeda. They are heartless monsters who are hungry for power and want to control everything.
Since 2001 when the war began, there had been many casualties. According the article “U.S. military casualties and the costs of war” on Journalistsresource.org, during the Iraq War, 4,475 U.S. service members were killed and 32,220 were wounded; in Afghanistan, 2,165 have been killed and 18,230 wounded. As a result of battle injuries in the Iraq War, 991 service members received wounds that required amputations; 797 lost major limbs, such as a leg. In Afghanistan, 724 have had to undergo amputations, with 696 losing a major limb.
“Going to war was the only unselfish thing I have ever done for humanity,” said David Niven. In Iraq, March 2003, the U.S went to war with ISIS. George W. Bush said the Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein, was hiding nuclear weapons to kill a lot of people. When Barack Obama was elected in 2008, he brought the last U.S troops home. He then took the rest of the troops out in 2011 because it cost too much money for too many deaths.
Should the United States have attacked Iraq? Introduction: On the 20th of March 2003, the United States commenced a war against Iraq and destroyed Saddam Hussein’s regime because they thought Iraq was a threat to the world. According to Presidents, Historians, journalists, and Politicians, it was not a necessary attack and it was a big mistake from The United States, that war was inequity and they declared war to take advantage of Iraq’s land.
The Islamic state, or ISIS is a militia movement with conquered territory in western Iraq and east Syria. Seizing multiple territories in the Iraq’s heartland and having amounts of success has drawn in more foreign recruits to them, raising concern in the west. Moreover, this has led the United States to send in the air campaigns to try and roll back the Islamic state advancements. Now, as of November fifteenth, 2015, ISIS has taken upon itself to drop multiple bombs in Paris, France and both France and the United States want to retaliate back.
The word jihad does not only mean “a struggle or fight against the enemies of Islam”, but also mean “a spiritual struggle against one’s sin”. The definition of a crusade is: “to take part in an organization concerning a social, political or religious issue. There have been many points in history when a holy war has been waged. The Holocaust and WWII have not been called a Holy war, but millions of Jews died because the Nazi party thought their religion was wrong. Today, America is suspicious of all Muslims and we call them terrorists.
“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.” (President Bush) In 2003, when President Bush declared war on Iraq, he argued that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and intended to use them on the United States. I think Iraq did not have these weapons because there were no real indicators of them; most of the alleged WMDs were left over from the Iraq-Iran war, and we didn't end up finding any. I believe America used the 9/11 bombings as an excuse to invade Iraq.
Have you ever had the fear that you might get blown up by a roadside bomb or that someone walking down the street might have a bomb strapped to there chest? Well if us as americans don't do everything we can to destroy ISIS then they might just bring the fight to our homeland. The Islamic state of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is a very dangerous and very capable terrorist group. They are considers the most dangerous group in the world today. They killed over 6,000 people last year and are not slowing down.
From the Punic wars to the Iran-Afghanistan war, there has always been a mess around the world that could be avoided. People tend to believe we need these wars in order to keep things in line, that it is the right thing to do. People even say it’s necessary for population control. War is not necessary for global relationships because it causes national destruction, its never-ending, and it is expensive.
Socrates strongly believes that “an unexamined life is no life for a human being to live.” From reading “Apology,” Socrates has shown his people to question not only others about their knowledge, but to question one’s knowledge too. When speaking about knowledge, it’s not necessarily speaking about one’s stance in their vocabulary or how much you know when it comes to mathematics, rather it’s speaking about life subjects, how much you know about yourself relating to life in general. And that is when examining one’s life is very valuable. It not only helps you reflect back on your achievements, but it also helps you reflect back on your flaws.
