The US began fighting in Afghanistan in 2001

History

Valentin [98]3 years ago

Answer:

The statement is true. The US began fighting in Afghanistan in 2001, after the terrorist attacks of September 11th.

Explanation:

After 9/11, the clues of those responsible for the terrorist attacks in New York led to the terrorist organization Al Qaeda, headed by Osama Bin Laden. In 2001 Bin Laden was a refugee in Afghanistan, where there was a radical Islamist political regime by the Taliban. The Taliban came to power after the withdrawal of the invading army from the USSR in the late 1980s. The United States needed a strong military response to show the world its capacity to react to terrorist attacks on its territory.

In this previous context, the US initiated its actions against Afghanistan in October 2001. The Taliban regime refused to deliver Osama Bin Laden to the US, which led them to prepare a war to seize him even invading the country and overthrowing the Taliban regime.  

The military actions were quick and the US managed to overthrow the Taliban political regime and take the cities of Kabul and Kandahar in a month. In November 2001, the US considered that it had won the war. But his real objective, to capture Osama Bin Laden, had failed. Bin Laden and part of the Al Qaeda leadership in Afghanistan first fled to the mountains on the border with Pakistan (which are difficult to access militarily) and later camouflaged themselves within the population of Pakistan. Despite the political fall of the Taliban within the government of Afghanistan, they continued to dominate some territories and did not stop fighting against US military troops.

How would you have responded to the rising Cold War tension?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

This is entirely opinionated, but I'll remind you how much tension the Cold War brought. You can answer it either as a citizen or a world leader, I think.

Explanation:

The Cold War brought fear into practically everyone. Everyone was second guessing their friends, families, neighbors, even bosses to being Communist spies. The fear of someone, even in the government, being a spy wreaked havoc in society. Television began broadcasting commercials of what to do if your neighbor is a spy, there were advertisements in the paper, you couldn't go anywhere without being reminded of the Cold War. No Russian was trusted at this time. Not to mention there was the fear of a nuclear attack. There were fallout shelters made in people's homes, schools, and community gathering places. Cartoons were made for children to teach them what they should do if a nuclear warhead were to hit. It was basically Hell.

Write a two-paragraph essay discussing why you think the amendment process is easy or difficult. Which process for proposing an
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

The amendment process is very difficult and time consuming: A proposed amendment must be passed by two-thirds of both houses of Congress, then ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states. The ERA Amendment did not pass the necessary majority of state legislatures in the 1980s. Another option to start the amendment process is that two-thirds of the state legislatures could ask Congress to call a Constitutional Convention.

A new Constitutional Convention has never happened, but the idea has its backers. A retired federal judge, Malcolm R. Wilkey, called a few years ago for a new convention. "The Constitution has been corrupted by the system which has led to gridlock, too much influence by interest groups, and members of Congress who focus excessively on getting reelected," Wilkey said in a published series of lectures.
