The main issue is not liberty, but it is a contributing factor in the United States. United States Senator Mark Udall from Colorado said it the shortest possible way "The balance between freedom and security is a delicate one". The balance over time has fallen in favor of liberty giving the terrorist the freedom to make easy attacks on the United States. The liberty they have after they come to America give them ample opportunity to attack any location. In addition, after little processing they can come to America under the guise that their after the liberties we have then abusing them to terrorize the United States.…
My book is about people who risked their life's for others. Also it explains all kinds of things that happen on 9/11. 9/11 was a terrorist attach which they hijacked four planes and 2 of them crashed into the twin towers and killed thousands of others. There was 2 other ones, but one of them hit the Pennington and the other one crashed that was heading for the white house. They crashed because the passengers took control.…
Sadly, terrorism continued to occur almost 60 years later in 2001. Not only did 9/11 occur, but there was a chemical war on America's hands as well. The anthrax attacks occurred shortly after 9/11 in September, eighteen victims of the attacks were identified between October 3 and November 20. This was caused by dried spores of B. anthracis that were sent through letters by the public mail. Five people are known to have died from anthrax and The 2001 Anthrax Deception:…
In the United States the government collects data from everyone either from their social medias accounts or their browsing history. These large corporations cooperate with the government in order to collect data and store it for them, in which the NSA looks for suspicious behavior that may involve terrorism. Although the USA PATRIOT Act, a sweeping law that allows the gov’t to collect data and wiretap subjects, was created after the 9/11 attacks, all citizens weren’t aware of it for many years. It wasn’t until Edwin Snowden, a former government contractor, revealed this information to the public. Many people were shocked and outraged by this news and found it violated their rights.…
The attacks of 9/11 were one of the most horrific events in the history of the US, which shook everyone. But did you know the US government played a huge role in these attacks? Yes. The Government millions of us trust blindly with the decisions for our safety, security and our well being. The government has betrayed its own people in exchange for our loyalty.…
The war on terror was always part of the United States. We have always fought terrorists and wanted to bring them to justice. However, the attacks of 9/11 gave the United States a push to find who did this and bring this to justice. Before the attacks the United States were basically playing world policeman, after the attacks President Bush declared that it was an act of terrorism and they would bring the terrorists to justice. The attacks of 9/11 changed the nation’s views toward terrorists and brought about a sense of nationalism throughout the citizens of the United States.…
After the devastating events that occurred on September 11, 2001, the numbers 9 and 11 are no longer just two ordinary numbers. These numbers are a constant reminder to the American people that such a catastrophe is possible and no one can predict what the future holds. These numbers now serve as more than just an emergency telephone number. These numbers mean something personal to all Americans who witnessed this historic event not long ago. The 2,977 deaths on that day in the World Trade Center is something America will never forget and America has changed forever because of it.…
Since the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States had never experienced such a dreadful attack. However, on September 11, 2001, America once again woke up to discover that they were being under attack. This assault towards the United States marked the single greatest loss it had ever faced. Not only was the nation violated, but it created an enormous insecurity and fear.…
What is a terrorist? Here in America the first thing we will think about is 9/11; having some crazy foreign guy come and bomb us. What people don't usually realize is that a terrorist could come from your own country. Merriam Webster defines terrorism as a person who uses fear to try and achieve a political goal. In America this isn't that common, but in the Middle East it has become a part of daily life.…
Since the events on September 11, 2001, there have been 20 known terrorist plots against New York City. Meaning that, on average, there has been one or two attempted terrorist attacks every year in New York City. These plots were meant to cause economic and social destruction at specific points around New York City. Most of these attacks were set in places such as subways, airports, synagogues, and important business places. With the attacks at these places, there could have been many thousands of deaths from any one attack.…
Terrorism and 9/11 INTRODUCTION Events in 9/11 had to involve Al-Qaeda which is in Afghanistan and Iraq because both countries invaded the U.S and destroyed ones’ property in so many unexpected ways and too many times. President Bush stated that they all will be defeated. The U.S did respond to 9/11 appropriately because of the protection from security and borders to protect our country. In this paper i will explain how i believe that the U.S responded to 9/11 appropriately. I will also restate my intro.…
For example we have to go through so much security just to get on a plane to just fly a couple thousand miles. While more terrorist attacks and killings happen our freedom changes and we don't have as many rights. America has reduced civil liberties since 9/11. The most recent example of how our freedom is gradually decreasing is “the National Defence Authorization Act”. This new act allows for the indefinite detention of citizens.…
Americans treasure their freedom. We all enjoy our personal, social and political freedom to a degree. So it is ironic and even tragic that we are willing, able to give up our freedom in pursuit of the value security. More often than we like to think we needlessly sacrifice freedom for security. “If it is in our power to prevent something bad from happening, without thereby sacrificing anything of comparable moral importance, we ought, morally, to do it”(Singer 1972, 300-304).…
The 1995 Oklahoma bombing federal bombing by an anti government Timothy McVeigh, 2009 Fort Hood Shooting by Nidal Malik Hasan an Army Psychiatrist that killed 13 people and the recent Boston marathon bombing in 2013 caused by the Chechen brothers are only few domestic terrorism attacks in the United States history. According to Lewis, “Domestic Terrorism involves groups or individuals who operate without foreign direction entirely within the United States and target elements of U.S. government and citizen” (p. 209). In different countries they also have a form of domestic terrorism of what we can also refer as homegrown terrorism. What are the possible ties that the domestic terrorism in the United States and abroad are relatively close?…
In order to understand “War on Terror” and how it began, one must first go back to understand when it all began. On September 11, 2001 the country faced what has been one of the strongest attacks against America. On that day Americans first witnessed what would be something that would mark the country forever. The American life changed for good, people no longer felt protected or at peace. It was no longer the same; it was as though something had been taken away from them.…
