War on Terror...


A month a after The terrorist attack in the US, A war was launched by the United States and the United Kingdom in response to September 11. This was also known as the “Fight Back” war. It was the beginning of George Bush administration`s war on terrorism. The main theme of this war was to catch Osama Bin Laden. It was said that Laden was the main person who planned the entire evil that happened in 9/11. Bin Laden`s trained group was called the Al-Qaeda. It was found that the hijackers of the planes that crashed in 9/11 were trained by the Al-Qaeda. The US and UK used a lot of dangerous weapons and bombs against Afghanistan. They killed a lot of Afghanistan people. A lot of American troops also died because of injuries. Some died because of diseases and heat. After fighting for months they captured Afghanistan but couldn`t find Laden. The Americans took control from the Taliban. The U.S also made their own air base in Afghanistan. But it was found a couple months later that The United States had planned the war on terror long before September 11. They wanted to go war with Afghanistan mostly like in July but because of the harsh weather in Afghanistan they didn`t. They were waiting for their right chance. The Americans seized control of oil rich territory in Central Asia. I think they went to Afghanistan to fight the terrors and to capture their oil. But the American media tried to cover up the real economic and strategic interest that underlie the war against Afghanistan by saying that the war took place overnight to get revenge from the Al-Qaeda of what they have done in September 11, 2001.
