SummaryFollowing the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 which left American devastated, United States of America President declared that these actions needed to be viewed as an act of war. This concept of an attack on American soil was, prior to September 11th, something completely foreign to the American people. Whether it be as a result of fear or anger, one thing was certain, the American people wanted some sort of retaliation to those who still are and were responsible. Nearly six years later the United States Armed Forces are still at war in Afghanistan, but more importantly also fighting a war on a second front in the nation of Iraq. It seems, however, that all of the public and media attention has shifted to the considerably more questionable war in Iraq, and consequently, it seems that some have forgotten we are even involved in Afghanistan.
