War on Terrorism and its Political and Economic Impact on Pakistan

Abstract

Terrorism is the core issue in the globe. The security and peace of the whole world is at stake. The 9/11 attacks on the twin towers have awakened the world to fight against the brutal and bloody terrorism but it is impossible for us to eradicate terrorism from gross root level if we will not comprehensively understand the causes of the wide spread terrorism across the world. No doubt, terrorism has grown up due to the wrong and double-standard foreign policy of the U.S.A. and the other western superpowers. These super powers make their foreign policies to protect their vested interests and they do not make such polices that could protect the interests of the small nations.
