Question

Which of these concerns dominated policymaking during George W. Bush's presidency?

Answer 1

• preventing terrorist attacks on US territory

Answer 2

Answer:

"preventing terrorist attacks on U.S. territory"

Explanation:

After 9/11, a "global war on terrorism" was announced. The Afghan Taliban regime did not surrender Osama bin Laden, as demanded by the United States, so Bush ordered his invasion to overthrow the Taliban government. In his State of the Union address in 2002, where he first mentioned the existence of an "axis of evil" composed of North Korea, Iraq and Iran referred to them as a "threat to world peace" and "an serious and growing danger ». The Bush Administration defended its right to wage preventive wars; this became the basis of the so-called Bush Doctrine, which weakened considerably and unprecedented international support for the United States, supports that had increased after 9/11.
