The consequences of 9/11 on USA

Résumé du document

September 11, 2001 will be remembered as a day that made history, not just in the U.S. but around the world. However it is true that the direct consequences of the attack are more visible in the countries directly involved; so among others the United States. These consequences are different in nature, we will expose in this section, grouped into three distinct group: the political, economic and social consequences.

A-Political consequences
In 2001, the U.S. president was Georges W. Bush, a member of the Republican Party, elected a few months before (January 20, 2001). Georges W. Bush did two mandates; he has been the American president for the seven years following the 9/11. Therefore most of the consequences we are going to talk about in this part are majority due to him.

The most obvious political consequence of the 9/11 is probably the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Indeed, 9/11 is a milestone in Washington's foreign policy: its action against "rogue states" and terrorist groups has been given the status of official doctrine. This new crusade, under the slogan of the generic "fight against terrorism," legitimized interference in countries regarded as potential accomplices of international terrorism.

This is how Afghanistan has been attacked by the United States one month after the collapse of the twin towers. According to Bush, an act of terrorism required a military response. The intervention against states suspected of being supporters of terrorist networks or manufacturers of weapons of mass destruction is also part of the war against terrorism. The events of September 11 have therefore also encouraged America to attack Iraq.

[...] Indeed, since the 9/11, the U.S. dollar is in a continued deprecation (compared to the Euro or the pounds). Moreover, people have less confidence in this currency than they used to before the event. A lot of experts agree to say that since the 9/11: - The power of the oil and banking “cartels” increased, “keeping US in slavery to fossil fuels and perpetual financial debt.” - “Meltdown of the US economy due to deregulation and government negligence led to crimes within the financial sector.” Social consequences Saisissez du texte, l'adresse d'un site Web ou importez un document à traduire.

[...] economy, the first one in the world, which is probably the reason why they were also called “world trade center”. For example, the 11/9/2001 the DOW JONES lost at the end of the day and after the fifth traded day. The year 2001 ended on a loss. As stated below, the political consequences of the 9/11 had an impact on the U.S. economy, because the U.S. spent a lot of money for the Department of Homeland Security, and for both wars. [...]

[...] However, these social consequences apply not only to Americans 'ethnic'. Indeed September 2001 is not a good memory for the majority of Muslims, even Arabs. The post-9/11 era has become a time when he does not live when you are Muslim and / or Arab (mainly due to the confusion made between these two identities). Each person "sounding" of a Muslim was then regarded as a terrorist, and sometimes discriminated against. It was difficult for them to walk in the street or going to the airport. [...]
