War on Terror & War of Terror
It was started with the hijack of four passenger airplanes in the soil of America. They were flown into buildings in term of suicide attacks upon Americans. Two planes were crashed into world trade center’s buildings, one hit the Pentagon and another crashed on the way to Washington DC. A sum of almost 3000 people died on that day (11, September 2001). The destruction of twin towers and other properties caused serious damage to economy of America and had a significant effect on global markets. It was the deadliest incident in the history of America. It is impossible not to sympathize with innocent victims. Initially, the suspicion quickly fell on al-Qaeda led by Osama Bin Laden but they refused for any involvement. Bush administration thoroughly accused Osama for this incident and plea the world to join America and stand by with him for the war on terror. Bush responded the attacks by launching the famous “War on Terror”. They invaded Afghanistan to harbor Osama by formally demanding Taliban to handover Osama but Taliban refused by saying first let us show the solid proof of involvement of Osama Bin Laden in 9/11 incident. Many countries strengthened American anti-terrorism involvement and expanded law enforcement powers.
The total innocent victims of 9/11 were three thousand, 3000.
War in Afghanistan: In late 2001, America invaded Afghanistan by the help of NATO and other allies, following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. The main purpose was to eliminate the al-Qaeda network and remove the Taliban regime from Afghanistan. This invasion was collided by the help of United States, United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, Canada, Australia, Georgia, Poland, Romania and Turkey. On the other hand insurgent groups were al-Qaeda, Taliban, Haqqani Network, Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and other militia groups. Strength of allied forces was about 467,793 soldiers. On the other hand there were about 45,000 insurgents. The casualties were also clear as 11,000 American soldiers were killed and more than 25,000 were wounded. Other allies also faced huge loss.
When there is war in any country, neighbors has always a huge effect, same thing happened with Pakistan as its huge area of border collides with Afghanistan. The invasion in Afghanistan made the insurgents fled to Pakistan. As the result the war which was bounded over Taliban and al-Qaeda of Afghanistan was actually stepped in Pakistan. Thousands of innocent Pakistanis loosed their lives, the war which seemed like avenge of 3000 victims of 9/11 actually killed 20,000 innocents in Afghanistan and about 48,000 civilians in Pakistan. The economic loss is still apart from that.
The total innocent victims of Afghan war are twenty thousand, 20,000.
War in Iraq:  When there is a pre-minded plan there we always has an opportunity to make is happen. Same fate tied with Iraq back in 2003. Prior to war, US and UK claimed that Iraq’s alleged possession of weapons of mass destruction posed a threat to their security and that of their allies. Some of the officials also accused Saddam Hussain of harboring and supporting al-Qaeda but latter no evidence of meaningful connection was ever found. Some journalists also stated the reason of Iraq invasion included Iraq’s financial support for the families of Palestinians suicide bombers. Saddam Hussain’s human rights abuses were also a supported reason for invasion. Bush administration widely made this invasion as a part of global war on terror. America, UK, Denmark, Australia and Poland were allied against Iraq Army of 375,000 and militias groups of about 140,000. Both sides faced huge number of casualties. More than 151,000 civilians were killed in the name of war on terror. America’s avenge costs a lot for the whole world. It’s the story of just after 10 years of 9/11. Iraq’s situation is still far away from normal rail. The economy derailed and slipped away as never coming back on track. This war on Middle East stamped negative effects on peace harmony.
The conclusion of Iraq war made us clear portrait of war on terror. The war which was started to prevent further terror on earth is actually making the world a new wave of terror. The whole war made up by a lie for every individual soil. Let’s have a look on the reasons of Iraq’s war. The first accuse of Nuclear nukes was marked a false statement, describing the fact it was said Iraq has ended its nuclear program in 1991. The second reason of attack was told of supporting al-Qaeda network but after some years of deep investigation this statement was also marked as fake one.
The total innocent victims of Iraq war are point one Million 151,000.
War in Pakistan: The scenario of war in Pakistan was little bit different from Afghanistan and Iraq. The North-West Pakistan was armed conflict between Pakistan and local & foreign militia groups, TTP, al-Qaeda, LEJ and etc. This war was never of Pakistan, infect is was between America and Afghan insurgents. The negligence of American troops made Afghan insurgents to flee into Pakistan. So this war came in the streets of Pakistan, hollowing the country by a new wave of terror. 140,000 troops of Pakistan Army battling with 30,000 insurgent. The main drawback of is to make difference between enemy and civilian. Militias are settled in our own homes. More than three million people are effected. More than 30,000 innocent civilian victims loosed their lives. More than 5000 soldiers of Pakistan Army died, more than 500 soldiers were captured by insurgents. About 8000 soldiers were wounded and disabled. The war which never belonged to Pakistan is now owned by Pakistan. Innocent lives were either killed by militias or by Pakistan Army or by American drones. In short the Pakistan was always in loss. Not a single Pakistani was involved in 9/11 incident, but still it is the front line ally of America upon war on terror. 3000 victims of 9/11 still avenging millions of innocents. In Pakistan it’s not “War on Terror”, it’s “War of Terror”.
The war depleted the Pakistan’s manpower resources and its outcomes outlined a deep effect on its national economy since it Pakistan had joined US led on war on terror. Pakistan has losses up to $68 billion since 9/11 due to being frontline ally of America. Pakistan has never witnessed such a devastating social and economic upheaval in its industry. Since Pakistan understood its loss in this war it began conclude to this war, so Pakistan tried to have a peace agreement with insurgent and militant groups. Pakistan tried to strike a deal in 2004 with militia commander Nek Mohammad but soon after that he was killed in an American drone and agreement broke instantly. Again is 2005 Pakistan strike a deal of peace with an agreement with Baitullah Mehsud but again he was later killed in an American drone. Whenever Pakistan tried to have peace in country American hurdled the way.
The total innocent victims of Pakistan are about thirty thousand, 30,000.
What we got from all this is the difference between “war of terror” and “war on terror”. The war on terror started with the blood of 3000 innocent lives, and now this war on terror keep on flourishing with the blood of millions of innocents. Is this really the “war on terror” or it is “war of terror”?
America started “War on Terror” with the name of 9/11, the victims of 9/11 were hardly 3000 in number. First they started their hunt in Afghanistan in 2001 with his allies and killed more than 20,000 civilians but still not succeeded to find out the culprits of 9/11. Are 3000 American lives are much valuable than 20,000 lives of poor Afghanistan? Later in 2004 America invaded Iraq on a lie and baseless propaganda, and killed almost 151,000 innocent people. This act really showed us difference between “War on Terror” and “War of Terror”. With the negligence of American troops they fled the Afghan militants to Pakistan and made Pakistan the frontline victim of terror. Apart from Armed loss, Pakistan loosed 30,000 innocent lives in the “War of Terror” led by America.
