Many said that the attacks were about religions or something of that sort, but the attacks were about far more than religion. In Osama’s first television debut he mentioned that the U.S. can avoid another attack like the Sep.11 attack if the U.S. stops threatening the security of the Muslims. The U.S. government insists that the motive for the Sep.11 attack was because of the U.S. support of Israel, the presence of U.S. troops in Saudi Arabia, and sanctions against Iraq. The President at the time, which was George Bush called for a “War on Terror” that would continue until all of the terrorists groups had been found, captured, and defeated to prevent attacks like this in the future. In this interview Bin Laden said he order the Sep 11 attack because of injustices against the Lebanese and Palestinians by
Consequently to the 9/11 attacks, the United States Government made significant modifications to what is surely considered to be one of the Countries most significant and important documents that has stood almost in tacked for over 200 years. Accordingly, our generation has earned the distinction of experiencing one of this century’s most important controversy. Therefor the debate of weather or not the Bush administration and congresses actions were un-American will go on, for possibly ever. Though no reasonable person can dispute the need to give the authorities we task with keeping our precious children safe from extremists who want nothing more than to see us dead, the tools they need to do what is seemingly an impossible job. Therefore, our modern day Jefferson’s and Franklins are guaranteed to have notched their place in history for acting so quick as to pass such big and heavy bill faster than any legislation has ever been passed before.

In this situation Kennedy showed his true courageous side of him and really stepped up and did his role in protecting his country. Not many know that Kennedy built a relationship with Khrushchev.
The Basics of Hydraulic Fracturing abstract Never before has America seen an era in which energy supplies are of high demand. With all of the turmoil overseas, now more than ever is it crucial for us to invent a way to develop our own energy resources. While hydraulic fracturing was first successful in 1947, it is a technique that is still being perfected today. Hydraulic fracturing is a process in which chemicals, water, and sand are pumped into the ground to break apart shale rock and too allow for the release of unconventional natural gases. Laws and regulations regarding this process are far and few between, leaving some states to take matters into their own hands.
On June 8, 1967, the fourth day of the Six Day War, Israeli defense forces attacked the USS Liberty about 14 miles off the coast of the Sinai peninsula, killing 34 American crewmen and wounding 171 others (Deutsch). I believe that the attack, which became known as "the Liberty Incident," occurred because the Israelis mistakenly thought that the USS Liberty was an Egyptian warship. Despite Congressional inquiries and official explanations, conspiracy theorists have insisted that more sinister motives were involved. Ultimately, the Liberty Incident is an example of the importance of clear communications between allies during a time of war. The United States has always had some sort of interest in Israel and in the affairs in the Middle East.

However, action the government took immediate action after the attacks of September
