Student Analysis on the War on Terrorism
On the morning of September 11 2001 the United States awoke to find itself under attack. In the city of New York hijacked commercial airliners smashed into the World Trade Center with enough intensity to topple them to the ground killing thousands of innocent men, women, and children plus hundreds of rescue workers trying to save the endangered. This is undoubtedly the deadliest day on American soil in American history, costing more lives than Pearl Harbor. “The attack was meant to break our spirit. It has utterly failed. Our hearts are broken but they continue to beat, and the spirit of the United States of America has never been stronger.” One Nation p.6. This gruesome attack on America was unprovoked, we were not given any demands to succumb to, this was done out of pure hatred for our country. For that we must defend our life, liberty, and justice. We must enforce strong military action against the responsible parties of this act of terrorism. This is the only way that the world and the terrorists will know that we care for one another and our way of life and this will not be tolerated. We will find all groups responsible and bring them down dead or alive, but all will be brought to justice.

Terrorism is not new to America, but now it has struck at the heart and soul of Americans like never before. The September 11 attack was not only aimed at U.S. military centers (Pentagon) and financial institutions (World Trade Center) but at thousands of innocent people. This is the worst act of terrorism in modern history; it left Americans stunned and vulnerable. The damage from the attacks was incomprehensible even after seeing every angle of the two planes rip through the World Trade Center. Overnight, the “war on terrorism” became every true Americans no. 1 priority. A poll done by Fox News shows that 91% of people who were asked said they supported “US military action being taken in response to terrorist attacks.” My question is for the 9% that did not support this poll, are you true Americans? Do you not care what happens...
