Is 9/11 Justified? 



Introduction To Destruction   The date was September 11, 2001 and it was about 8:00 A.M. in one of America's most financial and luxurious districts where the twin towers of the World Trade Center were located. As usual, Manhattan, downtown New York City was crowded through the expenses of massive amounts of typical business people and the addition of occasional tourists. Soon after, a couple of unwelcoming guests came and crashed the party as everyone remembered the tragic events that took place on this particular date as a day which permanently scarred the citizens and politicians of the United States of America while placing serious concerns on foreign issues and terrorism. Ever since, America's reputation around the globe had been changed forever. In the aftermath of everything, both sides of the act continuously fought for their own beliefs in which the justification of this event seems to be unheard of.

8 months earlier...

An alarm clock had rang as it was time for a wealthy businessman who went by the name of Steve Schwartz to go to work after his daily morning routines were happily completed. Momentarily, he exited the house kissing his wife and kids goodbye before leaving to work. Luckily for Steve, he was a very fortunate man due to his everlasting wealth. His economic position was on top of the entire business as he held his status as the C.E.O. of his branch of the Bloomberg Corporation. Evidently, his destination of labor was the south tower of the World Trade Center in Manhattan, New York. The world's commonly known complex, which managed most of America's stock markets. It was around 8:20 A.M. when Steve reached the building from his chauffeur's service. Unsurprisingly the area was surrounded with several other typical business people with the occasional tourists. As Steve made his entrance to the building, he took the long elevator ride up to his office compartment, which was located on the 100th floor of a 110-story building. Upon his entry, many of his colleagues politely greeted him as he made his way to his room. To Steve, it seemed like another casual day of work.

The time was 8:30 A.M. when Steve sat down and got to work at his desk where his computer was. After approximately 15 minutes of work…

“BOOM!” the north tower of the twin towers had unexpectedly been hit by an airplane. A clearly audible sound of explosion blatantly rang throughout the streets. The entire district shook but amazingly, the building, which had been struck, was still intact and maintained its structure despite its damaged condition. When the airplane had crashed a huge explosion occurred which formed vast amounts of fire and large black and gray clouds. The building’s interior and exterior materials flew into oblivion probably causing the deaths of hundreds of people down below. The most disturbing sight however, was of those desperate people inside the building jumping out of the windows hoping to survive a 413 M. free fall.

Steve was barely conscious as he was speechlessly staring at the building across from his office. Soon enough everyone was curious and rushed to the nearest window to see what had happened. The time was 9:03 A.M.

Within minutes of the company’s divided attention, Steve and everybody else on the floor was knocked out unconscious.

Clearly this wasn’t an accident, Steve was barely awake as he tried to make his way around to get help. All that he could see around him was fire and smoke. His eyes were discharging and he could hardly breath due to the lack of oxygen in the area. It was apparent to him that no one on the floor survived except for him. He made his way to the conference room as he unreasonably hid under the table to try and ease his suffocation. Nothing was working out. Realizing his terminal death, Steve made a final phone call to his loved ones.

As the situation grew out of obscurity, emergency agents were organizing the situation, but they weren't fast enough to evacuate the area. A couple of hours after the plane crash, the north tower had completely collapsed causing destruction on a wide scale. Believably, moments later the south tower had collapsed as well. Over the course of the milestone, many were killed and commemorated, but the U.S. government and the people responsible for the assault were scorned at.



September 11 Attacks (9/11) The September 11 Attacks, also known as 9/11, were several extremely well coordinated terrorist invasions the  Al-Qaeda Network (a self-organized terrorist organization consisting of extreme Arabs) carried out upon the U.S. government. In order for the Taliban's community to be voiced in the publicity of foreign  parliaments, nineteen suicidal terrorists were assigned to hijack four commercial airplanes in the morning of September 11, 2001 to intentionally crash land these airlines into four different locations around America. There missions were accomplished when two    <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;"> of the airplanes were crashed into the twin towers of the World Trade Center located in downtown <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;"> New York City, one of the planes crashed into th <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">e <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">Pentagon in Arlington, Pennsylvania, and when the final plane was cr <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">ashed into the plains of Shanksville in Somerset County, Pennsylvania. Over th <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">e course of the assault, 3017 victims including the 19 terrorists were kill <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;">ed as there were no survivors whatsoever in the incidents which took place on that chaotic day.

In the aftermath of the milestone, multiple monuments were built in commemoration of the once existing structures and of the many people that were killed during the tragic incidents. Furthermore, properties which were demolished were rebuilt for different purposes. Although much was lost, the American spirit was never hindered by foreign threats.

Within months, the U.S. government had taken the necessary precautions to further ensure the safety of the citizens within the country. Obviously, the 9/11 event temporarily left the states in a sadistic status in response of the brutal consequences which temporarily left the country astray. As a result of this, general law enforcement bodies imposed stricter security measures around significant locations. Unsurprisingly, airport security enhanced and business people who worked at major financial districts needed to go through a security check on a daily basis for a couple of years in their career.

After the attacks, it had been evident that there were many major symptoms of a growing worldwide economic depression, as global stock markets were falling. There was a temporary halt in economic activity within the country as stock exchanges were being obstructed. After all, the attacks caused a cash flow of $40 billion in insurance losses. Consequently, the event has marked this breakdown as one of the largest insurance debts ever. Soon enough, stock markets in every major city were either being delayed or evacuated. Due to the closure of these businesses, currency exchange rates had been inconsistent throughout the year in which the event took place. In addition, during the three following months of the tragic occurrence, countless numbers of job and wage losses were present throughout the free nation.

There were a variety of reasons proposed by multiple experts regarding the terrorist attacks. However, the most credible explanation for the attacks was the decline of the Middle East and the Islamic race. The poor economic condition seemed to be exaggerated as America exploited foreign exchanges. Furthermore, the Middle East was in lack of essential resources such as oil, and the U.S.A. seemed to be responsible for their burden. Simply put, the Arab's status couldn't last that much longer so after multiple terrorist organizations were built, all hell was unleashed. After numerous attempts for changes in the Arab government were made, a terrorist organization known as Al-Qaeda turned to the only tactic the Taliban was fluent with, terrorism. As time gradually passed, this led to an epic war.

In the last couple of years in of the 20th century, America responded by enacting the 'War on Terrorism". The United States had sent troops to invade Afghanistan in order to eliminate the Taliban and the Al-Qaeda Network. The main purpose of the declaration of the war is not only to avenge the consequences of the September 11 Attacks, but is also to make sure that foreign terrorism will not be present in the future. With that being said, all terrorist organizations in the Middle East are yet to be destroyed.

The American society was permanently scarred by the results from the assaults of the fascist Arab extremists. The act was clearly a demonstration of mass murder but history still proves that the country is overreacting as there are multiple other perspectives of the situation. Although America was hurt, there had to be reasonable reasons for the massacres.

Americans view the assault as the start of a potential genocide. It is believed by many that the people responsible for the invasion were hateful terrorists that desperately wanted to destroy the United States in response to their country's benefit. Realizing America's fault in making bad globalized decisions, the economy did not work well for unrecognized, poor territories like the Middle East. America's democratic leadership was just not working well with foreign countries. Obviously this scares the country even though necessary precautions are being taken throughout the country. To make matters even more serious, George W. Bush (President of America during the time) ordered for thousands of troops to retaliate in Afghanistan. This clearly shows America's aggression and compassion to ensure the safety and privileges of the people in America. Finally, the government just wanted to make their point straight and clear so that things like this would never occur again. The American government just continues to defend itself from foreign threats and.

Most American politicians relate the Al-Qaeda Network to that of Adolf Hitler's reign during World War II. Politicians state that the terrorist organization share many similarities to Hitler. The responsible organization (Taliban) not only has the same mindset as Hitler, but also the power to destruct at will.

All in all, the Americans, who were the primary targets and victims of the 9/11 event were basically devastated through the results of this tragic milestone. Because the plane crashes were so brutal and threatening to the American society, the government has taken actions to 'over protect' themselves from foreign threats like such by making systems of law enforcement more strict for the future. During the recovery of the U.S., George Bush decided to try and ease the situation in America by sending troops to the Middle East in order to terminate the Taliban organization and prevent these attacks from happening again. In 2001, America's governing manager, President Bush, would not admit his own fault to his failure of cooperation with other countries. Weaker nations were being bullied by the U.S. politically and economically. The three crash sites weren't at Disneyland or the Statue of Liberty, they were specifically assigned to hit significant structures such as the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and the White House to bring about a message in the country. Therefore, most Americans truly believe that the 9/11 event was unjust regardless of the Arab's view.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;"> <span style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace; color: rgb(0, 7, 255); text-align: center; display: block;">The Arabian Perspective <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 110%;"> Obviously not all Arabians are terrorists and thus support the views of the Taliban. However, the general public would definitely point out their political and economic flaws which is believed to be caused by the U.S. at this time. Over the years, prior to the Iraqi assault, polls have shown that the Americans are becoming more hostile to the Arabs. In reality however, it should be vise versa. The Arabs were impatient with their situation and thus attempted to use methods of terrorism in hopes to fulfill their needs. Although the weak country's voice was heard, a grudge was stereotypically placed on the Arabian race, when it was primarily the Taliban's fault for carrying out such destructive plans.

Osama bin Laden, the leader of the Al-Qaeda Network is the main reason for the occurrence of the September 11 attack and the major issues regarding the War on Terrorism. Prior to the American invasion in Iraq, multiple terrorist invasions took place in America. As stated previously, the sole purpose of the assault on America was to bring about a threatening message. For decades the Middle East has been known as a territory of weakness as it barely held any position in the world. It's economy was falling and it's government had little to no control. To the Taliban, America had seemed like a country which exploited all the factors which the Middle East was weak in.

Terrorism can be though of as a weak force which efficiently retaliates a strong force by means of immoral activity, just like bullying. 9/11 was a political act, and that meant that the three locations (World Trade Center, Pentagon, White House) in which the planes were ordered to crash in demonstrated the Arabian's anger towards America's overwhelming power.

It is highly evident that the Middle East was in desperate need of political and economic assistance as the country was unrecognizably failing. After the event, America attempted to avenge themselves by responding to this with an even more riskier mission of declaring war on Iraq. Clearly the disputes between the two countries were justified in their own perspectives. The Middle Eastern governments could have solved their case and taken care of their terrorist organizations more carefully. After all the 9/11 attacks were not justified due to the immorality behind the Arab's reasoning.
