The USA PATRIOT Act was enacted in 2001 as a reponse to the September 11 attacks and signed by President George Bush. The name of this act is actually an acronym which stands for "Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001"

It has generated controversy since its enactment as, due to the provisions included to increase national security. Its promoters argued it was a necessary measure to suceed on the war against terrorism. On the other hand, its detractors claimed that these provisions went against individual freedoms and basic civic rights.

For example, Tittle II confers increased powers to surveillance agencies and bodies dependent of the federal government. Some of these powers include authorizations for detentions of immigrants of indefinite duration, or to search homes or businesses without the consent or knowledge of its owner or tenant.

Why did the United States invade Iraq in 2003?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

The United States believed that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction which posed a great threat at the hands of the dictatorial leader Saddam Hussein. It also believed that terrorists were supported and even harbored by the country. So, to remove the dictator from power and to get rid of any weapons and eliminate or drive out terrorists were the main objectives behind the attack on Iraq.

Explanation:

The rationale behind the motive to invade and attack Iraq was to primarily <u>end the regime of the dictatorial leader Saddam Hussein</u>. Other purposes were to <u>end the harboring of terrorists in the land</u> and <u>eliminate any weapons of mass destruction that Iraq was believed to be in possession of</u>.

The attack on Iraq by the United States in 2003 was based on US's beliefs that the Arab nation has disobeyed the demands of the United Nations and had harbored and supported terrorists. Moreover, the need to eliminate the dictator Saddam Hussein and establish a democratic government and provide peace to the Iraq people also became the main objective behind the invasion. The US also believed that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction which can act as a huge threat to the overall safety of everyone around the world. So, the need to identify, isolate and destroy such weapons before they are actually put into use also led to the attack. US military continued to stay in Iraq till 2011 after which all troops were withdrawn.
