U.S. War on Terror (September 11,
2001-Present):
On September 11, 2001, terrorists hijacked four
American airliners and crashed three of them into
buildings which represented the heart of American
commerce and military might. President George W. Bush
soon declared a "Global War on Terror" was
underway, and the United States, along with several
allies, invaded Afghanistan, then under the control
of the Islamic-Fundamentalist Taliban. The Taliban
had given refuge to Osama bin-Laden's al-Qaida
network, and this made Afghanistan the first
campaign in America's War on Terror. Copyright
