In the nearly two decades since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the United States has made a series of costly blunders that have not only weakened our democracy but also undermined our leadership.
Instead of staying focused on those who attacked us, the Bush administration chose to declare a global “war on terror” in order justify its 2003 invasion of Iraq, a country that had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks. The war on terror has turned into an endless war.
This endless war has damaged America's global standing. It has scarred a generation. It has corroded our politics. It has cost American taxpayers nearly $6 trillion. And it has produced more terrorists. We must end this endless war.
We must envision a new form of American engagement: one in which we lead not in war-making but in finding shared solutions to shared global challenges. U.S. power should be measured not by our ability to blow things up, but to bring people together around our common humanity.
There is a momentum to war in The United States. That momentum must be resisted.
The Bush admin was following the PNAC blueprint, Project for a New American Century. It has turned out to be anything but that.
What else did he say surrounding this. I need to know the context surrounding it, otherwise it doesn’t say much.
Thank you for speaking on what others tend to forget. @BernieSanders
2976 people died on 9/11 2500000 people died in wars justified by 9/11
9/11 The Realty - It is not over, we still need to learn how to stop these people. Those people were let down then and American Citizens are still being let down now. WHAT WILL IT TAKE PEOPLE?https://youtu.be/RXkfs8KjRSc
The "War on Terror's" goal was endless war against a faceless enemy that can literally be in any country we decide. This is the true meaning of 'never forget.' Never forget that you are afraid of terrorists, and let us do what we want or else you're not a patriot!
