(fbi.gov, 2008) The World Trade Center’s parking garage located in Manhattan, NYC has exploded with a manmade bomb. The attack turned out to be something of a deadly dress rehearsal for 9/11…Al Qaeda would later return… (fbi.gov, 2008). The U.S. was violated by a terrorist attack from those comparable to Al-Qaeda. According to History.com a few radical Islamic fundamentalists were arrested, convicted and sentenced to life by a federal jury for their role in the bombing. One may say this incident alone foretells the following acts to follow.
Deneice Collins Instructor Williams English 1010 11 October 2012 Rhetorical Analysis of “President George W. Bush speech on the 9-11 attack On September 11, 2001 President Bush “Address to the Nation on 9-11-01” spoke on the series of deadly terrorist acts that took thousands of lives. In Bush’s view, “these acts of mass murder were intended to frighten our nation into chaos and retreat”. However, they failed because according to Bush we have the strongest country in the world. I feel no one deserved to go through such a lost. The anger the terrorist had against America is unethical.
September 11th, 2001 In my perspective, what happened on September 11th, 2001, was an act of terrorism on the United States. It was a decade ago that 19 terrorists took control of four planes, flew two into the twin towers of the World Trade Center, hit the Pentagon with a third, and crashed the fourth in a field in Pennsylvania after passengers resisted and made it impossible for the terrorists to complete their mission. The government also thought that 9/11 was an act of terrorism put on by the Muslims. While conspiracy theorists have a different perspective because they believe that there was more to this attack, it was plotted out and people from America were in on it. There have been many different perspectives on what really happened on this day.
An important moment in history was the Sept. 11th suicide attacks on the U.S. that was coordinated by Al-Qaeda, sending our country into another war. The 9/11 attacks were so significant to the world because it was the biggest planned hijacking and took the most innocent lives during the 21st century. The horrific events now constitute as part of United States history and have become an influence in decisions still being made to this day. On September 11, 2001 two planes crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in New York City. A third plane then crashed into the Pentagon in Washington D.C. and a fourth plane crashed in Pennsylvania after the passengers attempted to regain control of the plane from the hijackers.
He couldn’t even believe what was happening. Watching planes crashing to the Trade Center, seeing people only way is to jump off the building from the 78th floor, and then realizing we were being attacked. 9/11 was the day America changed and it is the worst attack in U.S history. More than three thousand died and our country in mixed emotions. Quickly fell on al-Qaeda, and in 2004, the group's leader, Osama Bin Laden, who had initially denied involvement,
Undoubtedly, George W. Bush, like his father, viewed the war in very personal terms. The man he intended to dispose of (Hussein) had threatened to assassinate his father, deceived the United States, and, as Bush viewed, served as the primary impediment to peace and democracy in the Middle East whilst employing an evil totalitarian regime notorious for widespread human rights violations. Bush eventually began probing for intelligence analyses that would justify his case for war against Iraq. This “cherry-picking” for information is
A day of chaos, confusion, and pure tragedy has left America and every American, whose day stopped on September 11th, 2001, permanently scarred. Clouds of thick, gray, debris-filled smoke engulfed downtown Manhattan shortly after two planes were hijacked and flown into the Twin Towers. The tragedy continued to shock the nation when a third plane crashed into the Pentagon and many were wondering if the attacks would ever end after a fourth plane plummeted to earth, crashing into a field in Pennsylvania. The emotions and thoughts that filled every American on that day are indescribable, but the effects 9/11 has had on today's society are rather easy to recognize. The 9/11 attacks on America have torn apart families, ostracized Muslims, and left
Department of Homeland Security The Homeland Security Act of 2002 created the Department of Homeland Security, the DHS mission is defined as “a concentrated national effort to prevent terrorist attacks within the United States, reduce America’s vulnerability to terrorism and minimize the damage and recover from attacks that do occur.” (Kamien, 2006). DHS main responsibility and goal is to prevent terrorism and attacks both domestic and international. They continually gather information and follow up on any and all leads that may turn up to be legitimate terrorist activity. National Counterterrorism Center The NCTC was established in 2004 to ensure that information from any source about potential terrorist acts against the U.S. could be made available to analysts and that appropriate responses could be planned. (Best,
Lemon continues by saying that “building a mosque at Park 51 is an extraordinary circumstance” and this is a very heated issue because many people lost their loved ones on 9/11. Patel mentioned that Muslim Americans were also amongst those who lost their loved ones but many Americans only seem to forget this and focus on the other religions victims. Incorporating what Lemon has said, it seem like he doesn’t want the mosque to be built next to ground zero because Muslim were apart of the 9/11 attack. Just because a small group of Muslims blew up the twin towers doesn’t mean that all Muslims are evil and heartless and they should be punished by refusal of constructing a mosque near ground
RUNNING HEAD: TERRORISM 1 Terrorism, Emergency Powers, and the role of the U.S. Supreme Court RUNNING HEAD: TERRORISM 2 Thesis Since September 11, 2001 our nation went through an act or terror which terrorist took over two planes and directed them into the World Trade Center which stood 1,776 feet tall. When the planes hit the World Trade Center into two different areas that caused the World Trade Center to collapse and many lives were lost. On top of that the Pentagon was also attack with a plane which again many American’s. This was a terrorist act that no one expected. Terrorism, emergency powers and the role of the U.S. Supreme Court needs to come up with a plan in order to prevent this again.
