The cataclysmic events of September 11, 2001 destroyed
the World Trade Center in New York, and later the Pentagon, was attacked
by al Qaeda terrorists. The US government responded by invading Afghanistan
on October 7, 2001, and the global war on terror had begun. The US
and the UK would then invade Iraq on March 20th, 2003, supposedly
to stop Saddam Hussein’s WMD and the Iraqi regimes alleged ties to
al Qaeda. |
