How I Believe America has changed since 9/11
The 9/11 incident is a unique champion being considered as one of the worst catastrophes not only in America but all over the world. With the fall of the Berlin skirt in 1989 and of the Soviet Union in 1991 a period of extreme optimism opened, with markets triumphant and globalization as the universal panacea (Evans, 2003, para.3). Such nations who experienced failure in one way or other nominate shifted and depended on their sanguinity for success and advancement through the United States of America.However, after the 9/11 terrorist attack, the world was in shock that even the worlds greatest superpower has met some under attack(predicate) moments against an uncertain force. The evidence we have gathered all points to a collection of loosely affiliated terrorist organizations cognize as al Qaeda ( scrub, 2001, para. 13).Following the 9/11 disaster, one aspect of change which should be analyze is how Americans perceive freedom now after this event. U.S. President George W. Bush has applied an aggressive and one-sided go about in dealing with the terrorist issue.The Bush administration is presently the prime mover of the long running contend on terrorism. Everything has changed in the sense that the war on terrorism has given U.S. foreign policy a focus not seen since the height of the Cold War (Garrett, 2002, para. 1). The invasion and occupation of Iraq is a result (politically, of course, not logically)(What has changed since 9/11?, 2006, para.2). Undaunted and unapologetic, the Bush administration continues to argue the virtues of staying the present course (Connetta, 2006, para. 6). Can the Americans alive in the real essence of freedom with this road the Bush leadership is taking?Will the Bush Administration sacrifice civil liberty for the sake of national security? America has always takes self-exaltation of being a free nation embedded with dignity and glory. But after 9/11, the Americans have lived in fear, ambiguity and doubt.ReferencesBush, G.W. (2001).
