International Observation ｜ The name of the American fake "anti -terrorism" launches the world of war and disaster

Xinhua News Agency, Washington, September 11th (Reporter Sun Ding) Looking back at the 21 years since the 2001 "September 11" incident, the United States launched a war in the world by the name of "anti -terrorism", making the world bear a high price. Many people believe that the so -called "anti -terrorism war" in the United States not only did not eradicate terrorism, but caused a series of bitter fruits -severe innocent civilian casualties, huge humanitarian disasters, endless social turmoil and environmental destruction, which can be described as endless harm.

Cost a high price

For 21 years, the war and military operations launched by the United States in the name of "anti -terrorism" have spread from Afghanistan to Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, etc. In August last year, the U.S. military wrote an end to the "most long war" in its history from Afghanistan. However, US President Biden said in August this year that the United States will continue to launch "counter -terrorism" in Afghanistan and other places.

The "anti -terrorism war" in the United States put the world a high price. The data of the "War" project of the Institute of Watson International and Public Affairs of the University of Brown University shows that the war launched by the United States after the "September 11" directly killed nearly 930,000 people, and several times more people died of nutrition caused by the war. Badness, damage to infrastructure, environmental deterioration, etc.; In Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria and other countries, 38 million people were displaced. Neita Claux, a professor of political science at the University of Boston, said the number of deaths may be greatly underestimated.

The American people are also undergoing the cost of war. After the "September 11" incident, US military expenses entered the track of growth, and the federal government fell into a fiscal deficit. The budget and funding of the people's livelihood fields such as medical care, education, and transportation continued to be squeezed, which exacerbated the US economy's injustice and further catalyzed US political polarization. Tear with society.

Wars destroy safety and chaos in manufacturing

Although the U.S. government announced that some "base" organizations were arrested or killed, the so -called "anti -terrorism war" not only did not bring security to relevant countries, but caused confusion and fear.

Some analysts say that the United States conducts selective anti -terrorism in order to achieve its geopolitical goals, which has led to the increase in the number of terrorist organizations in Afghanistan from more than 20 years ago to more than 20 today, which has caused the Afghan people to be harmed and endangered. Surrounding countries security. Najibla Jami, a scholar at Kabul University in Afghanistan, believes that the United States always defines terrorist organizations according to its own needs. The anti -terrorism war launched by Afghanistan is only an excuse for its hegemony.

In the Iraq war launched in 2003, the United States used the "War on Termes" as a smoke screen to defend it. The United States subverted the Saddam regime with force, causing the country's political, economic and social turmoil, and provided space and conditions for the expansion of terrorist forces. Including "Islamic State" and other extremist organizations, taking advantage of the situation, becoming a huge challenge to endanger the safety of the region.

Najib Jabri, a professor at the University of Iraq, pointed out that under the guise of the United States under the guise of "anti -terrorism" and "democracy", it actually created terror and chaos, the purpose of which is to maintain global hegemony.

The National Legislative Council of the United States Independence Organization of the Association of Friendship stated in a recent report that "military anti -terrorism has promoted more violent conflicts." The organization's military and human rights legislative director Herch Brandon Smith said: "Continue to war-based and military priority anti-terrorism methods will never produce effects."

Interest Group "Harvest"

"American anti -terrorism" frequently brews bitter fruits, however, a small part of interest groups have become the so -called winners of the "anti -terrorism war".

A research report released by William Harcom, the director of the International Policy Research Center of the US Think Tank International Policy Research Center, showed that since the start of the "Anti -Termers War" in 2001, the US military expenditure has exceeded 14 trillion US dollars, one third to half entered into The pocket of the defense contractor.

In recent years, US military expenditures have become more concentrated-one-fourth to one-third of the defense contract has been divided by Lockheed Martin, Boeing, GM, Thor, and Nosro-Gouman.

However, under the interests of huge military industry, US military expenses may continue to expand. US political scholar Charmers Johnson said that when war becomes favorable, war will only be more and more. (Participate in reporters: Zou Xuenou, Dong Yalei, Fan Shuai Shuai)
