Bush and Clinton

Question 1 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

President Bush’s speech after the terrorist attacks of 9/11 made which of the following significant changes to US foreign policy?

Answer
A
It announced alliances with countries that offered support following the attacks.
B
It clarified that the United States was opposed to terrorist groups, such as al-Qaeda.
C
It declared that the United States could now attack any country that refused to hand over terrorists.

Explanation

Bush’s speech warned that any country harboring or supporting terrorists would be treated as hostile. He specifically demanded that the Taliban hand over al-Qaeda leaders, setting out a basis for using force against governments that refused to do so. This was a broader policy shift than simply opposing al-Qaeda or forming alliances with countries that offered support.
