Osama Bin Laden As The Political Figure For My Project

Wright is unmatched in his intimate insights into the lives of the key players, from bin Laden's relationships with his wives, to O'Neal's turbulent personal life. It is with this immense detail, that the author persuasively argues his two main contentions.

Osama Bin Laden changed the world on September 11, 2012, when he orchestrated the 9/11 bombings on the World Trade Center in New York City. He has also formulated many other attacks including the October 2000 attack on the USS Cole, and attacks on the US embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania in 1998 (Encyclopedia of World 1). Osama Bin Laden had a negative influence on societies, economies, and religion throughout the world because of his actions in masterminding many radical terrorist attacks, and because he created and funded al-Qaeda.

The example of Bin Laden and the act done by him would be best described as the 9/11 attack.

The Rolling Stones were right when they said, “You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, well you just might find, you get what you need.” Barack Obama, after 8 years of darkness, you were what we needed as a country. You got a lot accomplished in your residency of the White House. While disaster seems destined in this upcoming election, I have become entirely more grateful of everything you did for this nation. Barack, you were left a huge mess and I commend you on your ability to clean it up make a difference.

On May 22, of 2011 Osama bin Laden was killed in Pakistan. Osama was the leader of a terrorist group called al-Qaeda. He was Islamic, and assumed responsible for orchestrating the attack on the twin towers. The US had been searching for him for nearly a decade, but he was finally found and killed by the US Navy SEALs. He was buried at sea, because that was the custom and Islamic tradition. This photo shows Osama bin Laden, before he was killed by the US.

On May 1st one of the Greatest Military operation had taken place. Osama Bin Laden had been killed. The C.I.A had been tracking a man in Abbottabad, Pakistan. They referred to him as the pacer because he would only walk around within the walls of his house and then disappear back into his house. They used his shadow to find his height and it matched the same as bin laden. A C.I.A agent had originally want to drop 32 2,000lb on the compound. But President wanted confirmation that they really did kill Bin Laden and wanted to minimize collateral damage. Prior to this Seal Team Six had been training in a replica home of bin laden. They trained with the Army’s 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne). Or also known as the Nightstalkers.

Osama Bin Laden was the leader of the Al-Qaeda terrorist group. He was the man behind the 9/11 terrorist attack. He was a hard critic of the United States.He was first on the FBI’s most wanted list. Osama orchestrated two bombings of the U.S. embassies in East Africa in 1998. Also, he was responsible for the bombing of the USS Cole in the Port of Aden.

After reading The Longest War I had a pretty good understanding of how other countries viewed 9/11 and how they responded to it. Then after reading many different articles on the Library Research Page it made it clear why these countries felt the way they did. On the research page, I researched George Bush, Osama Bin Laden, Al-Qaeda, Tora Bora, World News to 9/11 in 2001, Guantanamo Bay and The Patriot Act. I researched many different types of articles which helped give me a better perspective on how other countries reacted to 9/11 and the events that followed.

Osama Bin Laden is the reason for the misconstrued view of Islam that is currently seen in the world. In my opinion the origin of Bin Laden is similar to a prominent religious figure in that of the Buddha. Both came from affluent lives, but abandoned it all for their beliefs. However Bin Laden spread the doctrine of negativity, and even worse a false ideal. An ideal that has sadly influenced many other radicals such as Boko Haram, Isis, Taliban, and more.

Osama bin Laden was the mastermind behind one of the worst acts of terrorism the world has ever known. On September 11 2001 in New York City the world trade center was attacked by hijacked Boeing 747 airplanes. One plane crashed into each tower. Another plane crashed into the Pentagon. The fourth plane was sabotaged by the passengers and crashed into a rural field in Pennsylvania. Just under 3000 people were killed. It took ten years to hunt bin Laden down. These are the details of how we did it (www.dnainfo.com).

While we were having a discussion about hacking my ally happened to give a moral statement that Hacking is terrorism, since hackers obtain data illegally to cause violence thus all hackers should be decapitated like Osama Bin Laden since they are potentially able to cause world war III.

Osama Bin Laden is dead. The U.S. government has been on his trail for almost 13 years and after America offered $25 million on his head—dead or alive he simply became the target of the largest manhunt ever taken in the history of mankind. But not everyone celebrated Bin Laden’s death. Not everyone saw him as a terrorist, in fact, some thought of him as a hero. Although Bin Laden may be regarded as a hero, but by killing innocent civilians, hijacking the noble religion and culture of Islam, and pushing the Al-Qaeda's mentally challenged individuals as suicide bombers he has to be considered as a true terrorist.

You had a great introduction to your essay by identifying the terrorist group you were writing about. You were also able to define your thesis in your last sentence of the paragraph by introducing the relationship that Al-Shabaab has with Al-Qaeda. Overall, I was able to grasp an understanding of what your essay would cover.

History has shown many times that a single human being is capable of vast influence among people and/or a society, especially for religious purposes. Generally, when people think about influential leaders tied to a religion, they think of the great leaders that strived for peace and equality for all, such as Mahatma Gandhi. Justly, the big religious figures who were not so great for the world are often not given any credit for being the influential, strong leaders that they were, such as Osama Bin Laden. Obviously no one wants to give props to someone who negatively impacted the world but many times these evil leaders are very similar to their opposites. Morals must be disregarded to make this comparison but it is worth making. As previously mentioned, the comparison going to be made is of polar opposites; Mahatma Gandhi and Osama Bin Laden. They both greatly influenced and affected the world based on actions they took because of their religious beliefs. One practiced Ahimsa, who preached non-violence, and the other one Jihad, who fought a war with non-believers. But which of their two messages was more successful; non-violence or violence? Not successful in regards to humanity or morals, but in influence, leadership, and how long their message resonated. Both religious figures will be evaluated from their beginnings in order to see all their influences and intentions, as well as the situations they were put in that pushed them to make the moves the did.

1) Accurately describe the source contents. Be as specific as possible. The September 11, 2001, Documentary Project is a collection of reactions, eyewitness accounts, and opinions expressed by Americans and others in the months following the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and United Airlines Flight 93. The collection is comprised of 200 audio and video interviews, 45 graphic items such as photos and drawings, and 21 written narratives. 2) What things make this document significant and worthy of someone else's attention? Tell us everything you can think of that makes this document important. The September 11, 2001, Documentary Project is important because it illustrates the political climate that led the nation into a war against a nation-less enemy, which had been termed the "War on Terror." The reactions demonstrate the feeling of deep fear and insecurity prevailing amongst many Americans, who were not accustomed to seeing foreign threats on American soil. 3) Who is the audience(s)? What goal(s) was the author seeking to accomplish? What were his/her major points? What didn't the author say that might have been included? Being a collection gathered by the National Library of Congress, the intended audience is the general American public. It was gathered in order to create a record of American public opinion at the time of the September 11 attacks. 4) Place the source into its
