Abstract
In the direct aftermath of the September 11th 2001 attacks, President George W. Bush announced
his intention to begin a ‘War on Terrorism’, a protracted struggle against terrorists and the states
that aid them with the officially stated goal of ending worldwide terrorism by stopping terrorist
groups and ending state sponsorship of terrorism. This campaign has become a central part of
U.S. foreign and domestic policy and has had far reaching political and geographical implications.
One of the most important geographical implications that we have seen in the past couple of
years is the United States’ invasion in Afghanistan and Iraq and the increasing U.S. military
presence in Central Asia as a consequence of the war on terrorism.
