More than a third of the American public suspects that federal officials assisted in the 9/11 terrorist attacks or took no action to stop them so the United States could go to war in the Middle East, according to a new Scripps Howard/Ohio University poll. The national survey of 1,010 adults also found that anger against the federal government is at record levels, with 54 percent saying they "personally are more angry" at the government than they used to be. Widespread resentment and alienation toward the national government appears to be fueling a growing acceptance of conspiracy theories about the 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Suspicions that the 9/11 attacks were "an inside job" _ the common phrase used
To most Americans who can remember exactly what they were doing on September 11, 2001 it feels as if it happened just last week, when in fact ten years has passed since the tragic even. Many still fear another major terrorist attack and some even fear the Muslim sitting next to them. One example of the uncertainty that has arisen as a result of 9/11 is all of the security measures that have been implemented. The department of Homeland Security was created as a direct result of 9/11 to fight terrorism. Controversial acts were passed in an effort to control terrorism, the Patriot Act.
9/11/01 was a very horrible day. On 9/11 a tragedy happened that Americans will never forget when the U.S. airlines were hijacked from suspected terrorist and 3 out of 4 targets were hit. The two twin towers and the pentagon were hit but they missed the 4th target, the White house. This is a day that people claim they will “never forget,” but memories fade over time, so it is important that Americans keep reminding each other of the tragedy so that we really do never forget those lost. Many people lost their lives that day.
Advanced Topics in Criminal Justice CJUS399-1401B-01 Professor Russ Pomrenke IP 1 Michael Davidson Due date 2/25/14 Between the years of 1991-2001 the U.S. has witnessed a few terrorist attacks that have lead on to the largest attack known to this day as September 11th. During the timeframe chosen (1991-2001) there were warning signs that occurred and should have set in motion improved counter-terrorism policies. However, it did not occur. One may say because of the arrogance of government officials’ mentality of being “untouchable” we were vulnerable and left open for attacks. Because of the underestimation and lapse of judgment of the U.S. government officials, we were attacked by a force to reckon with, Al-Qaeda.
Abstract Before the 9/11 attacks that took place on U.S soil no one really knew too much about Osama Bin Laden and his terrorist organization Al Qaeda. At one point, years ago before these attacks even took place the United States helped Bin Laden drive the Soviet Army out of Afghanistan. Soon after these tragic events took place Osama Bin Laden and his terrorist organization Al Qaeda became the face of terrorist. This paper will take an in depth look at Bin Laden plus his terrorist organization Al Qaeda that he created. Also how one man fuel so much hatred towards one country to the point were they would want to act out in violence.
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,
9/11 was probably the worst day for the majority of Muslims in the 21st century. The number of innocent Americans affected by the explosion of the Twin Towers is nowhere close to that of the number of innocent Muslims affected by the explosion. Nine years later, innocent Muslims are still accused of being terrorists and engaging in terrorist acts. For example, my father, my 3 siblings and I are always suspected of being terrorists when at the airport because of our family name Malik Aly. Half my siblings were nonexistent when 9/11 occurred and my family and I lived in Mozambique.
Over 6,000 lives, most of them American, have been lost because of his actions. Many Muslims have now been given a stereo type of being “violent terrorists,” just because of the alacrities of a handful of extremists. Due to bin Laden’s interfering with the United States, they abortively invaded Afghanistan, punching a dent in President Bush’s presidency, and throwing the economy into turmoil. Any hope of returning to the former lifestyle that Americans had once enjoyed has been long dissipated. Al-Qaeda, the terrorist group that he founded in the early 1980’s, has been encouraging other minor terrorists to take action, making the world an over-all more dangerous place to live.
President George W. Bush, It has come to my attention that the media has been cluttered with seemingly endless coverage of your administration’s idea to enter into a war with Iraq, from the images of Saddam Hussein as a tyrannical dictator to the stories of angered citizens burning American flags and protesting, happy with Hussein’s reign over the country. With this confusing mixture of propaganda, it is increasingly difficult to determine whether or not you and your administration’s idea to invade Iraq was just. Considering a variety of different analytical views and coverage of the time before the invasion, I can conclude that America was unjust in its decision to enter into the war in Iraq. By examining the reasons for going to war, I
Parallels of Terrorism Jesse Gomez HIS/110 September 24, 2013 Bob Degarimore Parallels of Terrorism Terrorism is something that we Americans are too familiar with that has been going on for many decades. Terrorism is something that Barack Obama and Thomas Jefferson had to deal with while being the President of the United States. I will be discussing some of the obstacles these two presidents had to overcome. In the early days as Thomas Jefferson was entering office he created the United States Navy and Marines and declares war against the Muslim terrorist that attacked the American vessels who were holding property hostages until ransom was paid. During his time President Jefferson put together the best military weapons
