A Study on U.S. War on Terrorism in the Muslim World: Iraq 2001-2008

Abstract

Being a world leader, the U.S. along with its allies declared war on terrorism at a global stage. But overall, America’s War has been seen as a mere disguise for the continuity of the American empire. The emphasis on the Muslim countries; manly Iraq, raised a lot of speculations concerning the United States’ real intentions; especially among Muslims. From on e hand, the attack on one of the former Islamic empire’s pillar has been interpreted as an attack on the Islamic Nation ad Islam, as a whole. From the other hand, America has been openly accused for using the War on Terror to get rid of the obstacles preventing it from having full control over the Babylonian natural richness. Therefore, is the American War on Terrorism nothing more than an ideal that has nothing to do with fighting terrorism as has to do with combating Islamism? Generally speaking, this thesis will be devoted to U.S. foreign policy and its overseas relations with the Muslim World; mainly with Iraq from post-World War Two till the ninth-eleventh aftermaths.
