Question

Which of the following describes an outcome of the United States' response to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001?

A. Large-scale terrorist attacks have ended as a result of U.S. military action against terrorist leaders.

B. Many Middle Eastern Muslims have come to resent the United States for invading and occupying countries.

C. The United States has won popularity among Muslims by organizing the Arab Spring protests.

D. Authoritarian leaders of Muslim countries have resigned to avoid U.S. military action.

Answer 1

The answer is B: Many Middle Eastern Muslims have come to resent the United States for invading and occupying countries.

After the events of 9/11, the USA chose to invade countries in the Middle East based on what now have been proven to be either false or misleading arguments. Most notably, the invasion of Iraq was based on the pretension that they had weapons of mass destruction that could benefit terrorist groups involved in 9/11: this proved to be false. As a result of American intervention in the Middle East during the last few years, there has been political and economic unrest throughout the region and many people there, justifiably, resent the American government for this.

Answer 2

Good morning!

In responding to the 2001 attacks with military force (Iraq for example), the United States ended up provoking the anger of several radical leaders around the globe. So guilt ends up falling on the US.

B. Many Middle Eastern Muslims have come to resent the United States for invading and occupying countries. HugS!
