Reasons For The 9/11 Attacks

Al Qaeda was founded in 1988 by the most wanted terrorist in America, Osama Bin Laden, to bring together Arabs who fought in Afghanistan against the Soviet Invasion. Al Qaeda works with allied Islamic extremist groups to take over regimes it deems "non-Islamic" and remove Westerners from Muslin countries. The organization first began with three members and now there are approximately 200 to 1,000 current members. Al-Qaeda began to construct and offer training camps and guesthouses to its recruits; while they also attempted to pull in U.S. citizens for financial, communication, and operation reasons for the benefit of Al-Qaeda and its other affiliations. By 1990 Al-Qaeda was providing military and intelligence training in various areas including Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Sudan.

September 11th, 2001 is a day darkened by tragedy. This day is remembered for one of the biggest terrorist attacks the United States has ever faced on American soil. The 9/11 attacks left many hearts broken and heads spinning about the events that occurred. I personally have been very skeptical about the official version of the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. There are a few reasons that made me question what started a war that has become the longest war in American History. This paper will dive into the facts behind the events of this day to uncover the truth behind what occurred that day. Some of the major aspects I will be examining are the hard facts of September 11th, who was responsible for these attacks, the political repercussions,

The attacks of 9/11 affected the United States by increasing discrimination, endangering the health of many Americans, hurting the economy and changing foreign and security policies.

The attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001 were the direct result of the failure of US agencies, ranging from the White House to airport security, to recognize vulnerabilities present in the various symptoms. The reason why these vulnerabilities were not acknowledged and repaired is that these various agencies were trapped in a cognitive dissonance cycle of thinking. After the Cold War, terrorism was seen as a regional problem (9/11 Commission, 92). The majority of terrorist groups were either groups sponsored by governments or militants trying to create governments (i.e. Palestine Liberation Organization). As a result, the tactics used for fighting terrorism were centralized mostly in the Middle East and were restricted to

One incident that had really triggered all of this was what happened in New York City on September 11th, 2001. On this day that is better known as 9/11, 19 militants from the terrorist group al-Qaeda hijacked four aircrafts. Two of said aircrafts crashed into the World Trade Center and one crashed into the Pentagon near Washington D.C. During those attacks, Over 3000 people were killed, including more than 400 firefighters and policemen. After the incident, Americans had been paranoid about people who were Muslim, as Al-Qaeda was an Islamic group. Many years later to this day, anti-Muslim bigotry has got much much worse. Things like portrayal and treatment of Muslims has gotten terribly worse.

9/11 was a very drastic man made disaster that affected a lot of citizens. The who was involved was New York in this terrible calamity. About 2,996 people were injured in 9/11. What happened was islamist hijacked four planes that were flying above New York. Two of these planes were flown into the twin towers. Everything was in fat destroyed. There was a very big change in the big apple.

Everyday millions of people, more specifically U.S. citizens trust and rely on their government to make the right decisions in order to keep them safe. On September 11th, 2001, the U.S. government betrayed their citizens by letting and also taking part in the worst attack to ever happen on our soil. Our government betrayed us that day and our former President George Bush and many other government officials had prior knowledge and even were a part of the 9/11 “terrorist” attacks.

At first we were shocked from such a scare, then we were sad, and lastly we felt anger on September 11th, 2001. The event on that took place on September 11th, 2001 were planes getting hijacked by passengers on the plane and they crashed them into the Twin Towers in New York City. All of the circuits were busy; all you could hear through the cell phones were operators saying please try again at a later time. The American Airlines flight 11 moments earlier crashed into the North Tower. Then at 9:05am, twenty minutes after the first crash, United Airlines flight 175 crashed into the South Tower. The news stations repeatedly exhibited the buildings that plunged to the ground. In regards to figure out how anyone could ever do this terrible crime I will explain the

Nearly three thousand people lost their lives due to this horrible tragedy. That evening, President George W. Bush stood unflinching as he condemned these acts of terror and reminded us all that “America has stood down enemies before, and we will do so this time” (CNN). Within the next few days, Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda were accused of orchestrating these acts of ‘terror’. Fast forward twelve years to a poll sponsored by ReThink911 where they found that ten percent of Americans do not believe the official government account of September 11th, and thirty-eight percent doubt the American governments official 9/11 story (ReThink911.org). This begs to wonder why so many Americans do not trust what the government has told them. What reasons would the United States government have for lying about September 11th 2001? The connection between the Bush’s and Bin Laden’s, the actions of Donald Rumsfeld, misinformation in the official 9/11 report from the U.S. Government, and a history of the United States utilizing false flag operation’s to justify entering a war are some of the reasons Americans questions the official record of September

The 9/11 attacks opened the avenue for a scrutiny of the performance and ability of the intelligence community to detect any threats to the safety of the United States. The media, politicians, reformists and other interested parties would not comprehend how such an attack would happen without the knowledge of the intelligence community. However, it is important to consider the fact that the attack was one of its kind and could not be approached with the resources and expertise used in other initiative such as the cold war. Therefore, the need to restructure the intelligence community arose from the view that it was still operating in the mindset and spirit of the cold war even in the modern era that had seen a revolutionary change of warfare

It was on 9/11/01 when it happened. Hijackers hijacked four airplanes. Some terrorists flew a couple of plains in the two skyscrapers. They caught on fire and then collapse. The Other terrorists flew and destroyed the pentagon. The fourth plane where going to crash the white house but they stopped them before they did. About 3,000 people died that day.

On September 11, 2001, the WTC7 structure was damaged by debris when the nearby North Tower of the World Trade Center collapsed. The debris ignited fires, which continued to burn through the afternoon on the lower floors of the structure.

On September 11, 2001, planes struck and collapsed the North tower and the South tower of the World Trade Center with many people who died due to acts of terrorism. To declare that terrorism caused all the deaths is a major understatement. At least 1,500 people who survived the attacks had died due to many other factors in or of the building. One of the causes of many lives lost were communications, coordination, and command of the FDNY and the NYPD. In 9/11 the problems of radio communication between firefighters, and the police department impacted the ability for the firefighters to have enough information where the people were trapped on the floor and what floors the fire was on. This issue of communication affected the radio systems of

Throughout history, many tragedies and sorrowful situations have occurred having to do with issues such as wealth and money, power, control, and other issues. One of these times in history is during the frightening event of 9/11, also known as the day the World Trade Center collapsed by hijacked planes. This one event alone has impacted and changed the way people live today significantly. The reaction of American people after this infamous event of the September 11, 2001 tragedy was of multiple things including patriotism, pride, and being united. Quickly, the American public wanted to know who was responsible and planned revenge. This usually gives the government the public support it needs to declare war on the enemy and declare a war which never happened.

In 2003 the United States, under the Bush administration made the decision to invade Iraq with 90,000 troops. President Bush justified the decision by stating that Saddam Hussein was a grave threat to the United States and the rest of the West, furthermore he justified the US’s decision to invade by stating that “the dictator of Iraq and his weapons of mass destruction are a threat to the security of free nations, he is a danger to his neighbours. He’s a sponsor of terrorism. He’s an obstacle to progress in the west Asia. For decades he has been the cruel, cruel suppressor of the Iraqi people” (Lin) Despite the immense destruction of infrastructure, the deaths of hundreds of thousands of ‘innocent’ Iraqi’s, another disastrous and detrimental
