The War on Terror has caused such intense debate between a large sum of Americans. This was all caused from the tragic terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001. So many families were greatly affected by this. Many people lost friends, parents, grandparents, sons, and daughters. Many towns and communities faced hardships from these attacks and my town, Manhasset N.Y, was close to being the most affected small town regarding the number of deaths from the community. Nearly 50 residents from my town were killed and it still affects us today. People did not know how to handle this and couldn't understand what sick people would create such disaster to our nation.
Al Qaeda, led by Osama Bin Laden, was the extremeist group who preformed these attacks. The American people wanted revenge. The only logic way to do this was to go to war. Many people opposed the war but as a strong nation many people also believed we couldn't just sit back and not fight back. The people who oppose it maybe don't know what it feels like to have someone close to them, hop on the Long Island expressway, into the city and then never come back. Its something that will tear you apart and leave you at a point where you want action to be preformed. George W. Bush had no choice but to respond to these attacks. Our nation went to war against Al Qaeda and the great terrorist leader, Osama Bin Laden. On May 2, 20011, our navy seal special forces know as "Seal Team Six' found Osama bin Laden and killed him. This put our nation to a point where we knew America got its payback. People will never forgot the that tragic day and ail never forget the many who risked there lives for the people of our country. America is the strongest nation in the world. We were not going to let cowards attempt to tear down our nation in any way, shape, or form.
