After the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001, the United States President George W. Bush ordered the creation of the Homeland Security Department and months later, the air raid attack over Afghanistan with the support of Great Britain, and later the invasion of Iraq to capture Sadam Hussein. This, of course, created chaos in the Middle East and contributed to the Rise of ISIL that stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.
