2. The United States helped rebuild Afghanistan in numerous ways. For example, they helped with financing building of schools or hospitals that were either destroyed in the war or were completely new. They also helped rebuild the police force for example by educating people on how to be police officers and how to treat citizens and similar things.

3. Bin Laden was killed in a private residency in Pakistan. He was found using various intelligence agencies such as the CIA who established that he had been hiding in a settlement in Pakistan. They organized a covert operation that was launched from Afghanistan and the house was raided and he was caught.

4. State sponsored terrorism is a problem because countries are usually much more powerful than terrorist groups and if they finance these groups they are financing the spread of terror across other nations. The dangers of these weapons comes from the fact that these countries are usually ruled by bad people who would use those weapons for their own personal agendas, things like nukes or biochemical weapons

5. He called them the axis of evil because he considered them to be the main financiers of state supported terrorism and also the main producers of weapons of mass destruction who only want to destroy and cause mayhem. He believed that it was of great urgency that these countries were stopped and that regimes were changed.

6. The ultimatum had several key points. First was that Saddam would have to give away Iraq weaponry to prevent any usage of them. Another was that he would have to readmit UN weapons inspectors into the country. Third was that he would stop supporting terrorist organizations, and the final was that he would stop oppressing people.

7. UN weapons inspectors found no evidence of weapons of mass destruction even though the governments of the UN countries claimed that their intelligence agencies knew that Saddam had weapons. They were against joining because they believed that there was no evidence for the accusations and that the weapons inspectors should be given more time for their investigation

8. The results were that Saddam was defeated and was executed for war crimes and the coalition won. This however led to a rise in militant extremist groups like Al Qaeda and later even Isis. Since the United States troops left in 2011, a civil war has been lasting even up to this day, and the troops had to go back to Iraq in 2014.
