Terrorism activities have been a major concern to most governments and countries, and have existed for as long as man himself has. It is important to note that, despite its aim, terrorism activities have over time changed in form due to changes that have come with the birth of modernizations and new technologies. Notably, terrorism has been highly linked or associated with specific countries as it was found out that, some countries were busy sponsoring terrorism, exerting destabilization influence in the west, pursuing weapons known for mass destructions, and possibly hosting or harbouring the Al Qaeda fugitives. The ‘Axis of Evil' was first used by President George W. Bush in the state of the union address in 2002 to refer to countries or groups of states that had merged together to sponsor terrorism and seeking weapons for mass destruction. The most outstanding countries in the history of United States to have participated in the terrorism activities as documented in most scholarly works include; Iran, Iraq, and North Korea.
Most of the reports regarding the ‘the Axis of Evil' countries have suggested that the aim of this groups have been to disrupt the world peace and most important they are the cause of the ever-increasing destabilization and suffocation of the most world economies. Therefore, it can be concluded that the long-term effects of the terrorism activities include; the loss of the international cohesion between different regions and countries, disruption of the global economies and consequently interference with the worldwide peace and stabilization. For instance, the act of hijacking and crashing three American aircrafts that resulted to the death of the 3000 individuals was a huge blow to the state and hence, these subsequent outcomes have been considered an adverse repercussion for the thriving peace between the United States and its allies (Minteh, 2014) .
