The Polish Involvement in to war on The Global Terrorism
Abstract
The matter of ethic is more profound and important in the life of every human being than it seems to appear. Everyone, every day must make a choice between their values and situation that occurs in their particular life. This reflection paper is mostly about a difficult ethical problem for the Polish society, which has become crucial during the last few years. The problem is the Polish involvement in the global war on terrorism. Since the terrible event when Osama Bin Laden and al-Qaeda attacked the United Stated on September 11th 2001, many changes all around the world happened. The USA began the war against terrorism. At the very beginning, the US invaded Afghanistan, the country where the Taliban government killed common people just for being human. Poland "as an allied country" received an invitation to take part in this operation. Our nation took a slightly different role for the first time because we were supposed to take part in bringing freedom to another country. The dilemma was obvious; the whole nation was taking part in making a correct decision. The question raised was: after many years under Soviet occupation, and having ongoing economical problems, should we take a part in this operation or should stay away like the French and Germans?
