Terrorism - The US Military Cannot Defeat the Terrorists :: Argumentative Persuasive Topics

The US Military Cannot Defeat the Terrorists   One bug    One of the consequences of the horrendous terrorist attacks of September 11 is that the fall in States is marching glowering to war in numerous countries around the globe.  Given the terrible persecute and large numbers of casualties, it is hardly surprising that most Americans want to demean the terrorist organization(s) that launched the attacks and the organization(s) that aided and abetted the terrorists.  Unfortunately, on that point has been remarkably little public discussion as to why people from the Middle East chose to become suicide bombers figure on piloting air liners into enormous office buildings filled with people.  Nor has there been much deliberation regarding the probable consequences of using forces force to avenge terrorists and the governments that harbor them.             chair George W. Bush struck a popular chord when he charged that terrorists have attacked America because we are freedoms home and argueer.  In his analysis, Americans are innocent victims of barbaric people that despise freedom and hate what we stand for. The victims on the four highjacked planes and in the buildings were innocent victims, but President Bush is voicing a widely held myth whenever he argues that the terrorist attacks were intentional to destroy freedom and democracy in the joined States, or that the United States was attacked because it is the defender of freedom and democracy abroad.  In fact, the United States was attacked, not because of its political ideals, but rather because of its governments foreign policy in the Middle East.                During knowledge domain War II and in the years after, U.S. power flowed into the region.  There the U.S. government sought allies in the fight against fascism, then communism, and lastly against an e xpansionist Iraq.  In these conflicts American policy makers were not particular about who the dish out they recruited.  Brutal shogunates, repressive military governments, and absolute monarchies were all recipients of U.S. economic and military assistance.  In Iran the United States government even went so far as to overthrow the countrys electiveally elected parliamentary government in 1953.               Today, the United States government arms and trains the militaries of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, and American troops help defend these countries.  But these countries are run by monarchies that deny fundamental democratic rights to their peoples and vigorously oppress any opponents to their rule.  The United States government also supports with elongated military and economic aid a corrupt one-party dictatorship in Egypt.
