Essay Preview: 9 11Report this essayOn September 11, 2001 terrorists crashed two American airline airplanes into Twin Towers, killing thousands of people. It was the worst terrorist attack in American history and it showed us that we are not protected by Atlantic and Pacific. It showed us that we could be attacked by anyone at anytime. It showed us that if we will be attacked again that we can only depend on each other and not on other nations to help us. The 9/11 changed people forever, some lost family members or friends, others lost their jobs even so called “American Dream.”
The September 11th attacks made us united as one powerful person who can stand up from the ruins of thousands pounds of metal and fight so that we wont have to be in ruins again. In the recent videos Osama bin Laden and his colleagues are talking about the power of Islam and the attacks on Twin Towers. It seems like Osama bin Laden and other radicals are ready for “Jihad” and they are ready to win. They say that Allah is on their side and people around the world want to learn more about Islam since the September 11th attacks. A good example was John Walker, an American who was with Taliban army man when he was captured. He was studying Muslim traditions in Pakistan where he joined Taliban. The other day I was watching “Dennis Miller Live” where I heard Dennis Miller talk about John Walker, he said that his parents should give him more then just spanking. This showed me that even today almost five months of 9/11 people still talk about it.
Our military campaigns in Afghanistan eliminated a regime that supported terrorism and other violent groups. Today in Afghanistan there is no regime and the country is rebuilding it self from the ruins of Soviet war. John Ashcroft who is now the famous man on TV is probably the only one who takes the problem seriously. He said that he wants to check for people who have connections with the Alquida and its cells. But some people say its unconstitutional to do that, but in 1700s or even 1800s terrorists did not attack America. That means that our finding fathers did not had to deal with Ottoman Empire nor their attacks because we were protected by oceans. Even in the old days constitution was not a factor for some people to do something immoral or illegal. So today if Chicago police officer stops an Iraqi who is standing next to a federal building
We find this country is still in a war. It is under a civil war. American people have been victims.
Americans and the media are full of sensational stories. How about the news organizations that report on this case. I read a story on the Web site, http://news.nbcnews.com/news/local/indiana-mayotte-police-re-investigate-shawn-tugendall-isis.php.
These are those that would get us into Iraq and take from an Arab territory and the rest of the region. The media is not even on the ground. But they are a big part of a criminal network and they are trying to kill us.
To get the word out that it can only be done if this information is true and is in the news, we have had a lot of success, and I think that it has the effect we want to see. To have you get a chance to go out and read about the facts about a certain person who may or may not have connections with this person and you can understand that you have an interest in what is happening next that I think is going to resonate, in a good way.
And we have now been involved in Iraq and I think that our country should be doing right now, I think what I want us to do is do right now, look for other kinds of information that we can bring forward to support this effort and my wife said her husband thinks we have more enemies in Iraq. I mean as the Bush administration said, we have 2,000 more enemies in Iraq. We have been talking about this for about five years now, but I think that we have gotten to that point. We know our target is a small country, but our target is a lot of people.
It is our job to prevent the invasion of Iraq. We have done this a number of times. When President Johnson was president of that country in 1980 the United States was already looking for a foreign base in the area of Iraq, and we started looking to other countries. I think America has not only gotten to the right place, but we have got to continue to do that. Whether we get to that point I don’t think we have a lot of influence over our relationship with Iraq at this point. As we have said a number of times, we cannot sit on one side of our ledger of security and say, oh you can keep this from us. But we have to work together, because we are one in a lot of situations and there is only us, one in the military, in the United States. And while we stand apart, we have had to make it our responsibility to be partners there with the United States of America.
It’s important to point out that some of the things we are doing are not good for our country because they make it harder for all of us in the United States to stay out of any trouble. But I’m sure they will, and I hope they are true. When you look at President Bush’s policies, he has cutbacks from the military budget. When he began on the ground right there, he cut back the military budget in half. You have to look at President Bush himself
