The Aftermath of 9-11

Paper Summary:

This paper describes the unique effect that the 9-11 attacks on the World Trade Center have had on international political relations with the U.S. and other regions. The paper explains how some countries have accused the United States of using the 9-11 attacks as an excuse to advance its imperialist objectives as opposed to a legitimate attempt to enact policies that would better defend its citizens. The paper also looks at how the attacks have altered the political course in the Middle East and concludes with a reminder of the dangers of complacency and the need for the U.S. to remain forever vigilant in order to protect its citizens.

From the Paper:

"Three years after the tragedy of 9-11, the city of new York has cleared the rubbish our of the footprint of the two towers, but they are still a long way from clearing the wreckage out of their collective, and individual hearts. Never before has the nation been struck in an act of war as was seen on national television on 9-11-2001. Even when the Japanese planes swarmed into Pearl Harbor, American's saw only the pictures which were released in print, and the events of the day had time to settle before the images of war were digested. But even the attack on Pearl Harbor was fundamentally different than what occurred in New York. Military forces struck a military target. This does not reduce the shock of the event, but it was easier to digest as the nation ramped up for war in the European theater as well."
