[Type text][Type text][Type text] The 'War on Terror' has been a highly debated topic since President Bush first said it after the attack on the United States on September 11 th. Many articles and books have been written about the growing problem of terrorism and how the United States is handling it. Each article provides different ways that the United States has wrongly handled the situation and ways that they could improve their efforts to reduce terrorism. After the terrorist attack on World Trade Center and The Pentagon, the United States went to War against Al-Qaeda. Today, the US is still in a highly dangerous and expensive battle with these terrorists. My study examines the relationship between how people feel about the Presidents handling of foreign relations and their views on the defense budget. Also the relationship between the government's efforts to reduce terrorism, whether the war was worth the cost, and whether or not the war helped reduce the threat of terrorism. The 'War on Terror' is looking to be politically and intellectually unsustainable unless new changes are made.
