10 Years After 9/11: Era of Endless Wars?

It was a tragedy that claimed the lives of thousands in an instant, and later bring two wars with an even more monstrous death toll. The United States is marking a decade since the 9/11 terror attacks on New York and Washington D.C. It was the worst strike on U.S. soil in history, which united a nation in its determination to seek out the perpetrators, and prevent more deaths.

But the American-led invasion of Afghanistan that followed 9/11, has claimed thousands more lives in what's now the longest conflict in U.S. history. While the initial aim of the war on terror was to target Al Qaeda, which was blamed for the attack on America, the fight was soon extended to Iraq. And as RT's Gayane Chichakyan reports, the new U.S. President has taken the battle even further.

We are as Arabs or Muslims strongly against what happened in 9/11 because that does not represent the Islamic religion & rules at all, but we are against the American politics in the Middle East & against the MEDIA that reminds the people about 3000 victims on 9/11 attack every year & doesn’t even mention about 1,455,590 of Iraqis Slaughtered In US war And occupation of Iraq. just think about it

@informationsearch

It's never as simple as one reason.

There were multiple reasons, multiple agendas, vast ammounts of revenue streams to be had.

Open a world map.

We invaded and currently occupy Iraq (4th largest proven OIL reserves) and Afghanistan (95% Opium production, natural gas pipelines, trillions in lithium and other minerals) what is in the middle of those 2 countries?

@pieandslash Shut the fuck up. You have no clue what you're talking about. This wasn't an inside job. You people are fucking retarded. Bush had no clue what was going on when any of it happened. No, I don't read papers, and yes, I know the difference between to, too, and two, unlike you. Before you attack me, learn English. Money and greed rules the world? Really? Money makes the decisions to attack America? Money decides to let asshat liberals like you believe what you believe? No, your an ass.

it's just feeling mate or dreams to have the nations in the middle east. american always talk about freedom and this stuff but you do the worst thing. what you do is just unbelievable and nobody can realize it. peace @miket54

@sultanz66 Im an American and I just have the feeling that we wont stop fighting until we have all the nations in the middle east except Iran on our side. Then after a few years I think something will happen that will cause a war with Iran and the US and the rest of the middle east will have to chose who to join, their Islamic middle eastern neighbor or their savior and liberators. Start of WW3

I agree with you and people saying americans are fat? good healthy food is so darn exspensive thats why we eat the crap its a lot cheaper to buy junk food than a good nutrisious meal.we have given so much to charity and we have thousands of homeless people who arnt counted as citizens.

10 yrs in the Stan': We've reached the point where the average shitbag is so propagandized he no longer questions continuous war.  He's so financially beset he doesn't see beyond his own evermore tenuous job...and that's not a coincidence.

Has it ever occurred to you that this continuous war is really against the West's own subjects?
