America's Response to September 11 In the immediate aftermath of the attacks, the U.S. government decided to respond militarily, and began to prepare its armed forces to overthrow the Taliban regime it believed was harboring al-Qaeda. Before the U.S. attacked, it offered Taliban leader Mullah Omar a chance to surrender bin Laden and his top associates.

The impact of September 11 The September 11 attacks changed the entire world. Even though the attacks happened on American soil, the foreign and domestic policies of the United States have been altered irrevocably since then. Whether it is spending in the U.S. government, military objectives or even political views on what needed to happen in the months and years following 9/11, everything changed for the American people. Since Sept. 11, 2001, the government has floundered, with a lack of money to keep the United States moving forward with domestic initiatives. President George W. Bush increased the size of the government by creating the Department of Homeland Security. Travel restrictions and airport security increased. There were the matters of two wars. The billions of dollars expended on them was financed largely from borrowing, which in turn has destabilised the world economy. All this was out of all proportion to the attacks on 9/11. Indeed the response to 9/11 was as Bin Laden must have dreamed. For Americans it genuinely was a new Pearl Harbour, an attack on the homeland that made them feel vulnerable for the first time in 60 years. It turned an administration with quasi-isolationist tendencies into one committed to robust intervention overseas. The outcome was a new focus on combating global terrorism, particularly al-Qaida.
