Key anti-terrorism legislation in Britain and the United States were enacted from the events of 9/11 to the present.One of the perceptions is reflected by the USA Patriot Act’s failure to identify that the enforcement of active migration bylaws is just as significant in the war on terrorism as better foreign intelligence and more diligent tribunal of those with terrorist ties, and its failure to hold the agencies liable for such enforcement.The two nations have been on the fore front in the war against international terrorism.More to the point on the US Patriot Act, the American Administration also responded by enacting new legislation which gave way to detention of numerous Al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters in Afghanistan allowing their tri...

With regards to poverty, the war on poverty has been there for a very long time, and a lot of measures have been done to solve the problem.Another thing with the idea of the war on poverty is that the whole scheme tends to make the citizens dependent on the state by having programs like the unemployment aid, which gives unemployed people some money to cope with their living.The United Kingdom has been allies with the United States since time immemorial, and both of the countries embark in this so called war on terror.Following the attack, an operation called War on Terror was launched.Now, some questions have been raised and one of them was- what is more important, the war on terror or the war on poverty?

Germany and the rest of Western Europe had the protection of France, America and Britain so they could build their democracies during the second half of the 20th century as well.Also states with no security and struggling democracies have a very low possibility of survival because of the inefficiency of a democracy during war time.Or they were aided by either the USA or the USSR during the cold war.Compared to a World War terrorism is really just a drop in a bucket as far as the strongest countries are concerned.Britain separated from the wars in Europe by the English Channel had even more time to slowly build into a Democracy.

This war was fought between France (before French revolution) and Britain from 1754-1763 over the colonies in America and soon became a world-wide conflict between the two nations.King George III had more problems to worry about as France and Spain both joined in on the war and made him focused on the European war.King Louis XVI, having inherited debt from the Seven Years War, increased the taxes of the third estate to attempt to pay off their debts, and greatly impacted the people of the third estates lives.After 1763 all the way to the beginning of the war in 1775, Britain put in place a slew of acts which increased taxes, and as a result resentment of the British government.However America and France had very different odds stacked ag...

Indeed, this was the case with nearly all of their responses post 9/11 however; prior to 9/11 they did base some actions on furthering global interests rather than just their own.Overall, the USA responded to international aggression based on protecting its own national interests however, their response cannot be said to be ‘solely’ based on protecting their national interests.Due to the events of the 11th September 2001 the USA began its war on terror, and specifically targeted was George Bush’s ‘axis of evil’ which included; Iran, Iraq and North Korea.Together with Britain they acted unilaterally in order to remove the al-Qaeda and capture bin Laden, who was the prime suspect for the 9/11 attacks.This is because 9/11 was a pivotal mome...

It’s use as a description of the use of fear to create a specific end result dates back to Great Britain in 1798.The problem is that the traditional usage of the word has been modified in a modern word to reflect acts not seen in the 18 .That interpretation began in the early 1940s when bombing as part of World War II was described as “terror bombing”.As enemies of a specific country attack that country around the world, but do not declare war in a traditional sense, the world media has found the need to create a phrase to reflect the origin of these actions.While the perpetrators might call it rebellion or even “freedom-fighting”, the media has sought to find a descriptor that reflects the status of the enemy as a portion of the attac...

President Bush made it clear, however, that this is not just a war against the individuals responsible for the atrocities of September 11th, or terrorist leaders such as Osama bin Laden, but that it is instead a war against state sponsored terrorism as well.Such evidence becomes essential when acts of war are initiated.Now we are really at war and are confronting a genuine national crisis because to war with international terrorism is to war with other countries.The more foes that we draw into this war, the more complex will be the conduct of the war.Because of the nature of terrorism, military action alone is not likely to be enough to win a war against terrorism itself.

Without him, Germany may have won the second World War, and none of us would have the privilege to be free.And it was all because he saw the need and a cause greater than himself and acted on it.But he also believed that Britain, among other nations should and must prepare to resist Hitler’s army and put him in his rightful place; this is a principle, a principle which he carried out to the best of his ability.Churchill’s motivation for preparing for war was not for power and control of territory but for the freedom of the people of Britain and other nations.Therefore, war, as Churchill concluded, is inevitable.

More often the U.S. must endure the pompous moral preening of the European countries, whether their daily grievance concerns missile defense or CO2 emissions.Great Britain also never hesitated to join the war on terrorism , moving beyond voiced sympathy to decisive troop deployment in support of U.S. forces.Perhaps the war on terrorism will provide our allies with a bit of perspective; then again, the U.S. campaign might incur more disdain than praise.Europe, however, should reconsider its reflexive contempt for U.S. policies.In the wake of September 11, America deserves respect, not reproach-why should Europe begrudge us this decency?

Whether or not the current 10-year war was actually waged against Osama Bin Laden, Saddam Hussein, Muammar al-Gaddafi, or any other tyrant is truly unknown, and if the September 9/11 attacks were hoaxed and just a coercion for the American people to be tricked into war, who knows.Former President George Bush described al-Qaeda as “a fringe form of Islamic extremism that has been rejected by Muslim scholars and the vast majority of Muslim clerics; a fringe movement that perverts the peaceful teachings of Islam (Holloway, 2008).” This declared War on Terror was against terrorist groups, like al-Qaeda, but many did believe that the Former President had a hidden agenda.But with the War on Terror, the United States and its allied NATO Nations...

Terrorists, by definition, fight an entirely different type of war.You can win a war against an opposing country or government, but you can’t win a war against an enemy that has no boundaries, no limits, no leader to concede defeat, or an enemy army that gains 10 new recruits for every casualty inflicted.Victories on the battlefield or in the interrogation rooms are meaningless if terror networks can continue to recruit from a large wellspring of discontented youth.The fact is that we are currently fighting a war under terms in which we cannot possibly win, our enemies know it, and they are emboldened by it.But there is also now a growing conviction that the Bush administration has acquired a taste for regime change and will not stop at ...

Other experts, like Robert Evans of the Associate Press, points to the problems that US domestic producers will face, if a trade war happens during the “War on Terrorism“.This could cause a break down in the US foreign policy and relations among allies which is needed for the “War on Terrorism” to be won.With the US already in a possible trade war and seemingly continuing recession, this could cause US products to lose value in abroad markets, while at the same time causing the value of the dollar to decrease as the US comes into potentially extensive debt9.Hopefully, the tariffs that have been introduced, which are microeconomic in nature, will not spread into a trade war.5 “How to pay for War: State.

Huntington published his essay two years after the end of the Cold War when political scientists were searching for a new threat stream which would cause a new source of conflict.The United States entered the European Campaign in World War II to defeat Hitler’s extermination of Judaism in the world.This quote is from a pure Western point of view derived from a Cold War philosophy of only the educated will liberate the uneducated.He claims future conflicts after the Cold War will involve divides, disagreement and splits between cultures, races, religious beliefs.In other words, “… a new cold war … is underway between China and America” (Huntington 1993, 34).
