America and the War on Terrorism


Thus, this tendency can be seen in the US foreign policy after 11 September 2001. Additionally, political law and international cooperation to tackle international terrorism increased considerably after the events of 11 September 2001. International political law constitutes state policy in which the UN states member come to an agreement to establish the rules, the rules that correspond the conditions to achieve security from any threats of terror. .
             In response to terrorism, the US calculation on security, defence, and foreign policy have changed significantly. Moreover, it has affected the constellation of the US international politics in some extents. First, September 11 has opened up the shifting of the US parameters in assessing one country. The tendency to associate Islam with terrorism among the policy makers in the United States has challenged the tensions between the US and Islamic countries or Muslim-majority countries and it eventually affects the global political order. .
             Judiciousness of the majority Muslim state countries in responding the problem of terrorism often raise suspicion by the US and it causes international political pressure for Muslim state countries. As a result, the local government in these Muslim majority countries often face a dilemma between "task" in combating terrorism on the one hand, and the necessity to safeguard the rights of domestic constituents on the other hand. In other words, the policy of "war against terrorism" which is ran by the US has caused new tensions between the state administrator and the local Islamic groups in many Muslim countries. Apparently, the US still finds difficulties in formulating and running a policy of "war against terrorism" which is not causing a friction with the Islamic countries.
             Second, in response to terrorist attack, the United States has intentionally adopted a "veto power". Through this power, the US unilaterally entitles themselves to take actions in advance, in particular through unilateral military action, to terminate what they perceive as a possible threat of terror against the US social-politic and economic interests.
