New policies were put into place, and a new understanding of the threat of terrorism and that the United States was a powerful target required immediate attention. The Bush Administration decided to invade Iraq was made not only from the position of a foreign policy decision-maker, but also as a security practice for the United States. Preplanning to prevent future attacks mandate that the United States needed to go to war with Iraq.
