How I Believe America has changed since 9 /11

The 9 /11 incident is a unique one being considered as one of the worst catastrophes not only in America but all over the world . With the fall of the Berlin Wall 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 another have 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 world 's greatest superpower has met some vulnerable moments against an uncertain force . The evidence we have gathered all points to a collection of loosely affiliated terrorist organizations known as al Qaeda (Bush , 2001 , para . 13

Following the 9 /11 disaster , one aspect of change which should be analyzed is how Americans perceive freedom now after this event . U .S President George W . Bush has applied an aggressive and one-sided approach in dealing with the terrorist issue . The Bush administration is presently the prime mover of the long running war 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 live 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 pride of being a free nation embedded with dignity and glory . But after 9 /11 , the Americans have lived in fear , ambiguity and doubt
