Background:
America has waged war with countries, forcibly occupied territories and murdered
millions of men, women and children. Dropped nuclear bombs on Japan, destroyed
Vietnams ecosystem with Agent Orange, and has created such an atmosphere in Iraq
that radiation levels have been compared to twenty five thousand bombs used in
Nagasaki.
During the 1970s the CIA used the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt as a barrier, both to
thwart Soviet expansion and prevent the spread of Marxist ideology among the Arab
masses. The United States also openly supported Sarekat Islam against Sukarno in
Indonesia, and supported the Jamaat-e-Islami terror group against Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in
Pakistan. Last but certainly not least, there is Al Qaeda.
Lest we forget, the CIA gave birth to Osama Bin Laden and breastfed his organization
during the 1980s. Former British Foreign Secretary, Robin Cook, told the House of
Commons that Al Qaeda was unquestionably a product of Western intelligence agencies.
Mr. Cook explained that Al Qaeda, which literally means an abbreviation of the
database in Arabic, was originally the computer database of the thousands of Islamist
extremists, who were trained by the CIA and funded by the Saudis, in order to defeat the
Russians in Afghanistan.

Overview of 9/11 attacks:

A series of airline hijackings and suicide attacks committed by 19 militants associated
with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda against targets in the United States, the
deadliest terrorist attacks on American soil in U.S. history. The attacks against New York
City and Washington, D.C., caused extensive death and destruction and triggered an
enormous U.S. effort to combat terrorism. Some 2,750 people were killed in New York,
184 at the Pentagon, and 40 in Pennsylvania (where one of the hijacked planes crashed
after the passengers attempted to retake the plane); all 19 terrorists died. U.S portrayed
this attack of 19 militants to be by the whole Islamic world, which was wrong and unfair
by U.S.

Faces Behind The Plot:

The first question was who would do such a thing. The second was why. Suspicion
immediately fell on Al-Qaeda and their chief, Osama bin Laden. Initially, both denied
any involvement. In 2004, they and bin Laden admitted to the terrorist act, citing

sanctions against Iraq, the presence of troops in Saudi Arabia and US support for Israel as
the reason.

The War on Terror:

The United States government responded to 9/11 with what became known as The War
on Terror, a united global opposition to oppose terrorism at legal, political, military and
ideological levels. It included the invasion of Afghanistan, home to the Taliban, alongside
invasion in Iraq 3 years later in 2003.
U.S. President George W. Bush demanded that the Taliban hand over Osama bin Laden
and expel Al-Qaeda from Afghanistan. Bin Laden had been wanted by the U.N. since
1999 for the prior attack on the World Trade Center. The Taliban declined to extradite him
unless the United States provided convincing evidence of his involvement in the 9/11
attacks. They ignored U.S. demands to shut down terrorist bases and hand over other
terrorist suspects. The request for proof of Bin Laden's involvement was dismissed by the
U.S. as a meaningless delaying tactic.
The U.S. officially launched Operation Enduring Freedom on 7 October 2001 with the
assistance of the United Kingdom. The two were later joined by other countries. The U.S.
and its allies drove the Taliban from power and built military bases near major cities
across the country, and killed thousands of innocent people.
The United States then launched a propaganda assault on Saddam Hussein's subjects and
soldiers in Iraq in 2003. Americans have killed nearly 1 million civilians in Iraq , mostly
children. This is the only peer-reviewed scientific statistic of the war. Politicians have
denied it, but the figure still stands. As science, it cannot be easily dismissed.
That makes the Americans terrorists, whether you approve of that action or not. This
makes the American soldiers in Iraq international war criminals and also criminals under
American law.
The war then stretched back to Afghanistan and Pakistan, where America kept targetting
the Talibans and militant groups in Pakistan, but along with that, it also involved killings
of several innocent people, ranging between 250,000 to 300,000 according to NGOs.

The wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan have taken a tremendous human toll on those
countries. As of March 2015, approximately 1.3 million civilians have died as a result of
the wars. Civilian deaths have also resulted from the US military operations in Yemen
that began in 2002.

People living in the war zones have been killed in their homes, in markets, and on
roadways. They have been killed by bombs, bullets, fire, improvised explosive devices
(IEDs), and drones. Civilians die at checkpoints, as they are run off the road by military
vehicles, when they step on a mine or cluster bomb, as they collect wood or tend to their
fields, and when they are kidnapped and executed for purposes of revenge or
intimidation. They are killed by the United States, by its allies, and by insurgents and
sectarians in the civil wars spawned by the invasions.
Death can also happen weeks or months after a battle. Many times more Iraqis, Afghans,
and Pakistanis have died as a result of battered infrastructure and poor health conditions
arising from the wars than directly from its violence. For example, war refugees often
lose access to a stable food supply or to their jobs, resulting in increased malnutrition and
vulnerability to disease.

Key Findings

Approximately one million Afghan, Iraqi, and Pakistani civilians have died as a
direct result of the wars, and 0.3 million as an indirect result of the wars.

War deaths from malnutrition, and a damaged health system and environment
likely far outnumber deaths from combat.
According to Business Insider, 4,488 U.S. soldiers killed in Iraq war, and 3,512
soldiers were killed in Afghanistan war, which is a total of nearly 8,000 soldiers,
whereas killings as a result of Americas attacks was around 1.3 million people.
This means, for every single soldier killed, there were 162 civillians were killed,
which is American brutality against Muslims, at its peak.

American Terrorism Still Continues:

The Obama administration is dedicated to increasing terrorism, that was started by Bush
led government. In fact, its doing it all over the world. Obama is running the biggest
terrorist operation that exists, maybe in history: the drone assassination campaigns,
which are just part of it. All of these are terror operations. Nearly 1.3 million have died as
a result of Americas so called war on terror. People have become aware of Americas
propaganda, and even Americans have gone public in their disgust over American leaders
forcing wars on Muslim countries.
