On September 11, 2001 the world stopped for a moment as two planes flew into the white house. The Pentagon was also hit that day, and a hero saved a plane that was supposed to hit the White House. Americans all over the country were in shock, some knew their loved ones were in the Twin Towers, and hoped that some could make it out alive. Some did, many didn’t, so many precious lives were taken away from innocent humans who thought it was just going to be a normal day at the office. Children are growing up without fathers and mothers, who they will never meet. Whoever did this, needs to be put away, or killed. The man who planned it, Osama Bin Laden was killed on May 2, 2011, 10 years after the terror attacks on the World Trade center that killed many Americans, innocent Americans. Osama bin Laden’s killing was just, and he deserved what he got, there is no doubt in my mind he got what he deserved. …show more content…
In 1988 Osama bin Laden started the terrorist group al-Qaeda. Osama stole over 250 million dollars, and was already committing murders by then. In 1993 a bomb exploded in the World Trade Center area, the bomb was set off by al-Qaeda members. The bomb did not kill as many as the planes did, but killed up to 6 people and injuring many. In 1995 a bomb went off at a military base, and killed around 15 people, not only Americans were killed also Indian soldiers. In 1996 he called full jihad war on the US. Two years later he killed 224 people in a US embassy in Africa, and three years later his attack on US soil 9/11 was the US last straw. The reason for Osama’s killing wasn’t just because of 9/11 it was to prevent war on jihad that Osama had claimed on the US, if we wouldn’t have killed Osama in 2011 think about how many more terrorist attacks would have gone on in the
Osama bin Laden was an adversary of the West for years and it was known to the whole world. Unfortunately, he took it a little further by having two planes fly into the World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and another plane possibly for the White House. As we all know, this is the unforgettable day of September 11, 2001. Thousands of Americans were innocently murdered that day and in our own country by a terrorist organization. The United States of America would not stand for this and rapidly sought out Osama Bin Laden for what he had done to us. This is the day that caused the United States to accelerate the search and destruction efforts of bin Laden. Soon after September 11th, the United States was very involved in Afghanistan in trying to find him.
On September 11, 2001 the World Trade Center buildings one and two were attacked. However, who we were attacked by and even if we were attacked is a hard decision to make. There have been many different claims about how everything on that fateful day happened. There are facts that we know are true, though; Flight 11 flew into the North Tower at eight forty- six in the morning. Soon after, Flight 175 attacked the South Tower. By the end of the day, both towers had collapsed and other hijacked flights had caused damage. The amount of lives lost on September 11 was substantial; 2,749 people from eighty-three different countries died from the attacks (Facts about the attacks…, n.d.). All in all, America was changed forever.
On 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 history of the United states consisted of victories, losses, and the ones who cause it. Osama Bin Laden was a man who caused the loses of many lives and also caused the victory of strength. Although Osama has caused an abundance of negative impacts to the United States, many things were learned from it. As unbelievable as it is, Bin Laden was an advantage in many ways that may not overrule the negative but is still significant. We have learned that the attacks were due to actions committed by our own Country and was not a random attack as well as the fact that our leaders cannot always be trusted. Not only have we learned but we took action in our new lessons. Additionally, Osama has shown America and many places around the world what exactly religion has to do with politics and finally, what many people around the work want and feel. Although Osama Bin Laden was a man that had negative intentions that led to many calamities, he was a voice that spoke out and allowed America to understand that the freedom we had was not replicated all over the world manly due to what America has done. Osama Bin Laden was one man who killed thousands, cost millions, and impacted billions of people and had an impact that was beneficial, and immensely negative to society and those who lived in it.
Osama bin Laden, the leader of Al Qaeda, was the mastermind behind the infamous terror attacks of 9/11 that left nearly 3,000 americans dead. Osama bin Laden grew up to an extremely wealthy family. When Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990, Bin Laden offered his troops and resources to defend Kuwait but was shocked by the arrogance of the Americans who would defend it instead. From then on, he was an opponent of everything American and started to focus his attacks toward The United States. Considering the terrorist acts of Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda, the US Special Forces raid to kill him was justified based on how he planned several major terror attacks, including nine eleven.
We all heard of 9/11. I mean who hasn’t heard of 9/11, do you guys know who planned and attacked the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and try to hit the U.S Capitol. It is Osama Bin Laden the dead terrorist and the leader of Al Qaeda. Osama Bin Laden is a terrorist that bombed the U.S and the western philosophy by attacking U.S embassies, the Oklahoma city suicide attack and a lot more suicide attacks that are really dangerous. He was born in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia in 1957 or 1958.
This was not the first time, but it was the worst. Americans stood dumbfounded as the beautiful towers fell to the ground. New York City’s famous Twin Towers crumbled, engulfed in a cloud of smoke due to the work of the Islamist terrorist group, al Qaida. Many innocent people were murdered on September 11, 2001. Al Qaida’s victory was short lived and their leader, Osama bin Laden, knew he had to hide after he attacked the world’s most powerful country. Bin Laden knew the United States would find him, maybe not today, or next month, or not even next year but some day. Although we could have captured him the United States was right to kill Osama bin Laden because it was the only way to be sure he paid for his crimes.
In 1993, the World Trade Center was attacked from the basement floor by a bomb in a truck. “Six people were killed, while one thousand were injured.” (A Synopsis: Clinton Set The Stage for 911) Bill Clinton, to involved with interns to investigate, did not do anything about the attack. Clinton did decide to investigate the event, only it was two years after it had happened. Now in 1995, investigators found that Usama Bin Laden had been in charge of the 1993 attack. Once the news was released about this information, the country of Sudan came to the United States telling us that they could get us Usama Bin Laden if we wanted to press charges against him. Bill Clinton was reported as saying “Usama Bin Laden is not a threat to the United States.” He was reported saying this in the year 1995, after he found out that Bin Laden was responsible for the acts. However, Clinton did take action in 1998, in which he bombed a Sudanese aspirin factory, which he claimed held chemical weapons, on the eve of the Monica Lewinsky trial. This killed hundreds of innocent workers in the factory. “If any one act inspired hatred towards America, that was it.” (A Synopsis: Clinton Set the Stage for 911)
The man who was behind the deaths of nearly 3,000 people. How could is death be unjustified? Osama bin Laden was killed on May 2nd 2011 at his compound base in Pakistan. He is most known for being the man behind the 9/11 attacks but he was also involved in more plans to harm the U.S. Osama bin Laden’s assassination was justified because he wanted to carry out plans to kill and harm americans, and he was the man behind the 9/11 attacks which is the largest terrorist attack on U.S soil; though some believe he should have been captured instead of killed. His assassination was completely justifiable and by no means harmless man.
In events like the ones that took place on September 11th, 2001 I strongly believe it is more than acceptable to restrict the freedoms and rights of American citizens in order to contain and deescalate the situation. “The fallout from those events impacted the entire world to varying degrees…” (Harmening, page 8). It is safe to say the air travel security and the way we travel in general today has been changed. Since 9/11 the T.S.A. put into action stricter guidelines on passengers, there luggage, and things you could take on board the aircraft. T.S.A. checkpoints now became a thorough process with the introduction of metal detectors and body scanners, not to mention you had to take your shoes, belt and any of jewelry off before continuing
troops were staying. They killed two Australian tourists. At the same time, a group of al-Qaeda operatives were caught trying to shoot rockets at U.S. planes. In 1993, al-Qaeda bombed the World Trade Center and killed 6 people. That same year, al-Qaeda created a large plan to bomb places all over New York, but the FBI raided their warehouse and arrested 12 people. Also in 1993, al-Qaeda tried to kill the prince of Jordan, and they trained Somalis to kill Americans, which lead to America leaving Somalia. In 1995, a plan to blow up 11 jumbo jets was created, but it got edited and turned into the plans for the 9-11 bombings. There were also many other attacks by al-Qaeda from 1993 to 2000 that included car bombs and suicide bombers (msnbc.com 1). On September 11, 2001, three planes flew into the North Tower of the World Trade Center, South Tower of the World Trade Center, and the Pentagon. This was the biggest terrorist attack on the United States as it killed a little over 3,000 people, and scared the rest of the country (History.com 1). This attack was al-Qaeda’s greatest accomplishment, and after 2001, they performed many more suicide bombings and car bombs. To stop these attacks from happening and people dying, Bin Laden was assassinated in 2011. After that, al-Qaeda fell of the
On September 11, 2001 the United States was devastated by four terrorist attacks by the Islamic terrorist group al-Qaeda. The terrorist attacks took place in Manhattan, New York, Arlington County Virginia, and Stonycreek Township near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. The attacks killed 2996 people, injured over 6,00 others, and cost at least $10 billion in property damage. 9/11 was the single deadliest incident for firefighters and law enforcement in the United States. A total of 411 emergency workers died trying to rescue people and fight the fires. Osama bin Laden was the mastermind behind this horrific attack on the United States. They were trying to get revenge on the United States for their support of Israel and their involvement in the Persian
The Jihad is probably one of the most misunderstood and feared terms in modern day America. Ever since the attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11th, 2001, the Muslim religious duty of Jihad has had only negative connotations. Of course, seeing two trademark buildings collapsed and mangled on the groundwith thousands dead all in the name of religion would have anyone jump to a negative conclusion. But what most people don’t understand is that the meaning of the term “Jihad” is one greatly left up to interpretation. Each sect of the Islamic religion has a different take on this religion duty and the expectation that go along with it. Therefore, the idea of Jihad that America has learned to fear might not be the true meaning, concept, and intention of the word at all.
“You can’t win the war on crime, or the war on terror. You can’t repeal human nature.” (Robert Harris). Robert Harris is a writer and a former journalist for the BBC. He examines the war on terror in this quote saying it is unwinnable and it is just human nature for people to terrorize and commit crimes. If this is true, the US government has been spending money and resources on a war that is unwinnable. But, this is just someone's opinion, right? The argument of the validity of the war on terror will be examined as well as how the US should cease funding for it because it is destroying the economics and society of the United States.
The morning of September 11 was like any other. The sun rose from the east, and the day was full of life. People went to work as they were accustomed to, and everybody seemed safe from harms way. In airports across America: planes were taking their passengers to their destinations in record times. People went through airport security as usual, walking through the metal detector and sending their bags through the x-ray machines. Security at the airport was normal. Bags were checked for guns and explosives as they had been doing for many years. This seemingly routine day turned out to be far from normal. A group of people that belonged to Al-Qaeda had different plans for the people of the United States.
