Abstract
After 9/11 the U.S. public was visibly shaken. They felt injured & insecure. Its Administration, particularly the Bush regime was anxious to redress this situation with a view to restoring & rehabilitating public trust & confidence in their rulers that they were capable of defending their lives & their sovereignty. Bush regime felt that she was obliged to overcome this trauma regardless of socio-moral & politico-legal justification for its aggressive and ruthless policies. Such considerations were deemed as totally irrelevant in view of national urgency. These mounting pressures & imperatives pushed them to Afghan war on extremely flimsy grounds. And while they were still half way thro’ they opened another front, that is, an Iraq-war. Bush & his allies offered terribly poor rationale for these pre-mediated wars & as a result have lost much of their moral supremacy & enough of their respect in International Community. This brief article offers a catalogue of some of major events that has taken place during the last five years. Attempt is also made to assess the surge & after surge & its implications for peace in the region.
