9/11 Attacks On the Tuesday morning of September 11, 2001 we faced a devastating attack from Al Qaeda. Osama bin Laden was the leader during the time and many years afterwards. He was believed to be the leader of the Al Qaeda network and would be hunted down for ten years after these events. Just weeks before the dreadful day of 9/11 a group of Islamic Terrorists came in to the country looking like normal U.S. citizens. They took the first 2 weeks to learn how to fly air planes so they could high jack them and carry out their mission.
Bush, addressed the nation, and announced the War on Terror. Only days after 9-11, congress authorized the use of all forces by any means necessary. For the first time in history, NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, evoked Article 5, the commitment that if there is an attack on one member; nation, it is an attack on all. On September 20, 2001, The President, delivered an ultimatum to the Taliban government of Afghanistan to deliver Osama bin Laden and the al-Qaeda leaders. The Taliban countered demanding proof linking them to the attacks.

The reading, “The Biggest Decision: Why We Had to Drop the Bomb,” by Robert James Maddox, explains the process taken in for the Americas to decide to drop the two newly discovered atomic bombs over the Japanese homeland cities of Hiroshima and three days later Nagasaki. Americans should be well informed on this information. This is a perfect article for this class because it marks a very important milestone in our nation’s history. The Japanese were a strong powerful enemy of the US during the end of WWII. “The Japanese had more than 2,000,000 troops in the home lands, and were training millions of irregulars” pg.
When Americans began to believe that weapons of mass destruction existed and decided that Iraq was providing support to al Queda, the war could be justified as an act of self defense. Bush also told Americans by invading Iraq he would bring a democracy to their country to better the policies and enforce democratic beliefs in their country. The role of the media plays an imminent part in the run up to the war in Iraq. The media repeatedly showed the planes crashing into the World Trade Centers. People were watching this horrific act being shown on every news channel for weeks after the attacks occurred.
The sick villagers, soldiers, and doctors begged McClintock and Ford to help them. Instead a fuel air bomb was dropped on the village, evaporating all living things in it. What is the name of the African country that the virus started in? 'Outbreak' For Diehards, Part 1 Zaire. The village in Zaire, Africa, which had the disease in 1967, doubled as a mercenary camp for American soldiers.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, I woke up with great confusion not knowing what all the commotion was about at home in my living room. As I got to school, my teachers explained to me that our country was under attack by terrorists. I learned that nineteen al-Qaeda terrorists hijacked four jet airliners and crashed two of them into the Twin Towers in New York City, killing everyone onboard as well as others that were working in the buildings. At around 8:46 AM EST, American Arlines Flight 11 that was hijacked by the terrorists crashed into the north tower taking out the all the floors in between the 93rd and 99th floors. Shortly after at 9:03, United Arlines Flight 175 crashed into the south tower destroying everything between the 77th
Thy strength, Hester; but let it be guided by the will which God hath granted me! This wretched and wronged old man is opposing it with all his The Scarlet Letter might!—with all his own might, and the fiend’s! Come, Hester—come! Support me up yonder scaffold’” (Hawthorne 263). Dimmesdale wanted to die in Hester’s hands when he confessed that he is truly Pearl’s father.
