Why did pres bush declare war on terror after 9-11?

Answer 1

President George W. Bush declared a "War on Terror" after the September 11, 2001 attacks to respond to the unprecedented threat posed by terrorist groups like al-Qaeda, which orchestrated the attacks. The declaration aimed to eliminate terrorism as a global threat and protect national security. It justified military action in Afghanistan to dismantle the Taliban regime that harbored terrorists and to prevent further attacks against the U.S. and its allies. The broader goal was to promote stability and democracy in the Middle East to counter the conditions that fostered terrorism.
