Textbook:
Keene, J., Cornell, S., & O’Donnell, E. (2012). Visions of America: A history of the United States (2nd ed.). Boston, MA: Pearson.
Assignment:
Discuss how you see the “war on terrorism” as of this date. Do you think the United States should be engaged in such a war? Give reasons for or against this war and whether or not we are giving up our own principles to wage it.
Discussion/Introduction:
“After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the Bush administration declared a worldwide “war on terror,” involving open and covert military operations, new security legislation, efforts to block the financing of terrorism, and more. Washington called on other states to join in the fight against terrorism asserting that “either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists” (Globalpolicy.org, 2018, para. 1). The September 11, 2001 attacks changed the course of history because there was question on whether the United States would ever be safe. The intervention of the American soldiers in Afghanistan caught the Afghan soldiers “off guard” which made them regress in the attacks temporarily (Reidel, 2011). This week you will post your views on the war on terrorism and should we continue to be involved in this type of war.
