September 11, 2001 is one of the most tragic events in recent American history. Nearly 3,000 citizens lost their lives in the terrible terrorist attacks on American soil. After 15 years it was time to ask the question: did our counter-terrorism efforts reduce terrorism in the world? Or, at least, they were aimed at improving security in the world? According to the report of the Professor of political science at brown University, Dr. Neta Crawford, the costs of the Ministry of defense, state Department, homeland security and the Committee on veterans ‘ Affairs United States since 11 September 2001 amounted to about 5 trillion. dollars. Before analyzing the share of military expenditure in the public debt of the United States the size of 19.3 trillion. dollars, you must answer the question: what made up these costs?

At the end of last year, Reader Supported News reported that since 2002, the terrorism increased by 6500% (apparently, the “war on terror” we have called a “terrorist war”). In 2014, according to this channel, 74% of all victims of terrorist attacks killed in Iraq, Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Syria. As the journalist of Reader Supported News Paul Gottinger: “Nigeria is not only faced that year with the bombing and military occupation of the United States”. He forgot to mention that the US is conducting ground military operations in Nigeria. Why not? Until recently, Nigeria was the largest oil producer among African countries, as well as the largest economy in the continent.

Hillary Clinton herself has refused repeated requests to put the CIA and Boko Haram (a terrorist organization associated with IGIS and al-Qaeda operating in Nigeria and more deadly than IGIS) in the official U.S. list of foreign terrorist organizations. That is the Clinton war with Libya helped Boko Haram to become a leader of terrorism in Africa. In 2009, Boko Haram was a small group with very limited armament. After the NATO intervention in Libya was looted Libyan military depots, weapons of which were sent to a terrorist war in Syria. Boko Haram was able to take advantage of the NATO invasion, the looting of Libya and instability throughout Africa. Peter Weber of the Week writes: “the Weapons Boko Haram has changed from simple machine guns to armored vehicles and anti-aircraft and anti-tank weapons”.

Boko Haram is just one example of unexpected consequences, right? We only sought to remove the “dictator”, who “wanted to destroy the people of Libya, right? Despite the opinions on the moral character of Gaddafi, he was able to turn Libya samwu prosperous democracy in Africas the highest standard of living on this continent. Thanks to a terrorist war on the human development index Livial 27 positions. According to UNICEF, 2 million Libyan children thrown out of schools and got into teams of terrorists and extremists.

Last year, four former members of the U.S. air force wrote a letter to Obama, warning him that the most effective tool of recruitment in IGIS – program of drone killings conducted by the United States in Muslim countries is under the personal control of the President. Moreover, three former operator besplatnipornici a lawsuit against the U.S. government, which put forward a Yemeni for killing his family in 2012.

How to tell Oliver stone and Peter Kuznik in the movie “the Untold history of the United States”: “When the United States began its drone campaign in Yemen in 2009, in Yemen and the Arabian Peninsula were only 300 fighters of al-Qaeda. By mid-2012 this number jumped to above 1000”. Still believe that there is no connection between the deadly bombing of countries and the growth of terrorism? It seems that this story repeats itself again and again, not to mention pointless cleaning peoples of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Journalist Ben Swann notes: “do you Know how many terrorist attacks have been in Iraq before the US attack in 2003? No. In the history of this country was not terrorism before the war with the United States. And immediately after the beginning of the occupation were registered in 1892 of the attack. In Iraq, before the American war, there were about 1.5 million Christians. Immediately after the start of the war in Syria moved more than a million Christians. It did not profit them. Today it is believed that terrorism affected more than half a million of these Christians.” This, in part, went the above mentioned official $ 5 trillion. All the talk about using that money to fight terrorism is ridiculous. Even College Humor in his show “Adam ruins everything” reported that transport police were totally helpless during a single attack.

So how much in reality has happened and continues to leak money in these programs? It’s time to start a serious conversation about our counter-terrorism program. One can only assume that the elite of the United States is not sincere in the fight against global terrorism, as its policy only reinforces the terrorism and weakens security around the world. The first step in the fight against terrorism should be the recognition that our current strategy is not working. Anyone who believes the opposite – or is going to become President to continue a failed strategy, or is profiting from the destruction of millions of people.
