Abstract
This paper discusses and analyzes the topic of terrorism. Specifically, it examines the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks (9/11) that destroyed the World Trade Center and caused thousands of deaths. The paper attempts to determine what we have learned from the attacks and what has been done since 9/11 to prevent future attacks.
From the Paper
"Few Americans will dispute that the nation, and even the world, has changed since the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Two researchers into terrorism wrote, "Since September 11, America has been on a war footing, with armed soldiers standing guard at our nation's airports, enhanced security at nuclear power plants and other vulnerable locations, and military jets flying combat air patrols in order to intercept and shoot down hijacked commercial aircraft" (Klinger & Grossman, 2002). Before the terrorist attacks many Americans felt that something as devastating as the 9/11 attacks could never occur here. They were wrong, and the attacks proved the country is indeed vulnerable and open to attack from afar. The country learned the hard way that there is much more that can be done to prevent terrorist attacks, and that sometimes personal freedom has to come second to national security. As the aftermath of the attacks overtook the country, American learned that many industries, such as the airline industry, were also vulnerable to lost business because of the attacks, and thousands of people lost their jobs as industries cut back to cut costs."

Abstract
This paper covers the idea that America was not crippled by the attacks of September 11, 2001, and that such attacks will never accomplish the intended goals. It discusses America's propensity to bounce back after 9/11, from the average citizen up to presidential levels, and the response that ensued. Discredits the claim that such attacks have harmed America or the economy.
From the Paper
"Cowardly acts of terrorism will never be enough to destroy the American way of life. As President George W. Bush told the country after the September 11 attacks, "Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America." In fact, if anything, these acts and others have only served to strengthen and reinforce American ideals, thus bringing the country closer together rather than tearing us apart. Americans should not fear that terrorism will cripple the country or destroy the way of life we enjoy."

Abstract
The writer of this paper asserts that the increased demand for oil in the West escalated the mafia-like tactics from Britain, Israel, U.S. and France which resulted in reprisal from Arab nations that culminated in the 9/11 terror attacks. This paper details historic incidents over the last 100 years, from the four nation coalition, that brought about mistreatment and prejudices towards Islamic nations in the Middle East. This paper also delves into the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian crisis. This paper contains two illustrative graphs that back the writer's claims. Topics covered in this report include: Introduction The Creation of the BUFI Mafia Loan Sharking Using Violence or Threats of Violence to Bully and Steal The Ability to Murder and Get Away With it An Unwillingness to Compete Without Monopoly-like Tactics Options Terrorist Responses Sayyid Qutb Escalation of Oil Consumption/Terrorist Activities 1968-2001 War on Terror Conclusion Sources Cited
From the Paper
"Arab countries like Egypt, Iran and Iraq were on the receiving end of loans from the British Government with dire consequence for each. In the late 1800's Egypt had borrowed millions from both Britain and France, and, unable to pay it back, was transformed into a mandate of both Britain and France. Known as the Public Debt Commission, representatives from Britain and France took over Egypt's finances, and when King Isma'il tried to oust them, he himself was ousted and replaced with someone more friendly to this takeover. This helped Britain gain control of the Suez Canal, one of the most important waterways in the Middle East. Both Iran and Iraq sold Britain oil concessions in order to help stabilize their economies."

The 9/11 Terror Attack.
This paper discusses the terror attack of 9/11 and the resulting Homeland Security Act.

Abstract
This paper explains that a basic principle of government, even in democracies, is that, when a country faces great danger, such as the 9/11 terror attacks, it may be necessary to curb some personal liberties to ensure the safety of the country. The author points out that, after September 11, the country was suddenly and unexpectedly at war, but the laws protecting our personal rights, which were made stronger after excesses during the Viet Nam war, tied the hands of those charged with finding out where the threats lay and how to best protect us. The paper relates that, to put the country's laws more on a war footing, Congress passed the USA PATRIOT Act, which gives the government greater latitude to look at communication from suspected terrorists, to ferret out money laundering, to detain and expel suspected terrorists, to tighten the borders to keep terrorists out, and to allows agencies to work more efficiently when attempting to stop both domestic and international terrorists.

From the Paper
"Although we have been aware for some time that terrorists attacked on soil foreign to them, having seen it occur in Japan, Canada, Great Britain, France and countries in Africa in recent history, concerns for our internal safety ratcheted up several times, including the first attack on the World trade Center in 1993, the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City in 1997, and of course, the destruction of the World Trade Towers, the damage done to the Pentagon, and the crash of a plane heading for a second government target in 2001. The marked coordination of the September 11 attacks was clearly an act of war."

Abstract
This paper examines the 9/11 Commission Report: "Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States". It explains all the problems and intelligence failures leading up to the attack. The writer discusses the Commission's recommendations on how to improve intelligence gathering and sharing so as to prevent a future attack. The writer also looks at the Commission's recommendations on how to improve the response of authorities so that if an attack did take place, damage could be minimized.
From the Paper
"The attacks on America on September 11, 2001 caused a major national trauma in addition to the deaths of thousands of people. Two major questions were raised immediately, the first how did this happen, and the second, how can it be prevented in the future? The two questions are related so that finding what went wrong the first time points to what needs to be corrected before any recurrence. To answer these questions, the 9-11 Commission was formed and charged with investigating the attack and making recommendations for the future. The Commission was bipartisan and made up of ten members who issued the required report, which has since been widely disseminated so that the public can judge the job done, can understand the problems found, and can weigh in on efforts made to correct those problems for the future."

The paper provides responses from various British journalists for and against the war on terrorism that has been declared by the United States.
From the Paper
"In a BBC News article dated Thursday 13 September 2001, it was reported that it was on September 11, 2001 that a number of terrorist attacks were carried out on America. One attack was launched on the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center, located in the heart of the United States of America, at 08.45 AM. Several eyewitnesses have reported to the BBC through e-mail and through direct contact that they were stunned beyond belief that such a thing could actually occur in the world's super power, America. One eyewitness, Mac Delaney, states how he was engaged in some work at the South Tower of the World Trade Center, when he felt the aircraft strikes the North Tower of the Center. Initially there was widespread panic thinking that there had been an accident of some sort, and people did not know what was actually happening. However, when the word came through that they were to evacuate the second tower, people who were in the building scrambled for safety, and as a result, the stairwells as well as the elevators were jammed beyond their capacity, and only a few people managed to get out and run, 'like there was no tomorrow'. (11 September, Key Reports and Video)"

Abstract
The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center towers and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 represented an event of such enormity that it demanded a full and timely investigation and the U.S. government's Final Report of the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States ('Final Report') attempts to do just that. This paper provides the background of the events of September 11, 2001. The paper discusses what the significant impacts of the report are to the nation and what lessons have been learned from the report. An assessment of the Final Report's effectiveness in addressing the issues it identified is followed by an analysis of what role Homeland Security authorities should play in the future to prevent a recurrence of the barbaric attacks of 9/11. The author's personal views on the report and a summary of the research is provided in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"The September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks drastically changed attitudes about personal freedom in the United States; fears that a terrorist could strike at anytime, anyplace made individuals more willing to endure personal inconveniences, such as longer lines at airport security and baggage checks in subway stations. This fear also compelled the U.S. government to implement measures that it believed would help track down terrorists and prevent future attacks (Schaffer 2003). The 9-11 Commission's Final Report purports to provide a full and complete account of the circumstances surrounding the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks, including the level of preparedness for and the quality of the immediate response to the attacks; the report also includes recommendations designed to guard against future attacks (The 9-11 Commission Report 2004). The report states that authorities in the United States knew, or should have known, that Islamic fundamentalist terrorists would attack the U.S. at some point, and that the World Trade Centers represented a favorite target, having been attacked once before already.

Abstract
This paper describes Michael Moore's documentary film, "Fahrenheit 9/11", which dissects the most sensitive incident to have affected the United States. The author gives a comprehensive overview of the content of the film and illustrates how viewers can become vulnerable to Moore's propaganda and readily accept his interpretation of truth.
From the Paper
"Credited authors tell of their knowledge of the departure of many Saudis from the US after the attack. The film then defines the rationale behind the Afghan war, which Moore claims to be for an oil pipeline. The Iraq war is based far more upon oil and power then it is freedom. Seemingly, the Bush Administration and their corporate allies saw an opportunity to control the world's second largest supply of oil and thus, like any savvy businessman would do, exploited it. George Bush as Moore states in his documentary used the war on Terror as a smokescreen to exercise a plan, which he and his associates had awaited since the first gulf war. Moore finely incorporates comic relief into the documentary by showing the ridiculous items bought by Americans. People were so drawn in by the media messages that conveyed danger, that many excessive items were being purchased. In addition, the film portrayed Iraq as a peaceful nation that had no ill intentions towards the United States. Bush was shown being a tyrant that only wanted to conquer Iraq and strip its people emotionally and physically. Moore explains the failures of American intelligence as there were no whole weapons of mass destruction. Moore then explores the mourning mothers and family members who have lost young ones in Iraq. Moore then calculates the numbers of deaths due to the war, his findings conclude a death toll rise from about a hundred to nearly a thousand people dead. The Lipcomb family is featured given that their son died in the Iraqi war. The distraught mother tells of her suffering from President Bush's economic polices. Moore's interview with Lila Lipscomb provides an insight into the pain felt by mothers whose children had died during the war. Moore effectively moves the audience when the screen goes completely black and a soundtrack of persistent cries, sirens and radio communications sorrowfully project. This is followed by the image of faces filled with discomfort and fear of formerly happy New Yorkers because they are terrified by the indescribable horror of the collapse of the towers."

Abstract
To determine how and to what extent the controlling of employment legislation has changed following the terrorist attacks of 9/11, this paper provides a review of the relevant literature, followed by a summary of the research and a presentation of the findings in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"Before World War II, American workers began organizing to achieve a more equitable share of the benefits of their labor, and the changes in the social contract following World War II resulting from a series of downsizing, mergers and acquisitions have fundamentally changed the relationship between the American worker and employers. No longer was there a patriarchal system in place that guaranteed life-long employment in exchange for hard work and loyalty; instead, the competition for good jobs - and jobs at all - became increasingly fierce. However, during this period of history illegal immigrant workers were not aggressively prosecuted because they were merely working at jobs that "no American would want." After the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 though, many unemployed U.S. citizens might scoff at that argument. While many components of the immigration laws that control employment in the U.S. remain unchanged following September 11, there have been some profound changes that have nevertheless affected the ability of immigrants - legal or illegal - to find gainful employment in the United States.

Abstract
Since the terrorist attacks on America, the activities of the American Red Cross have expanded extensively. This paper discusses how the voluntary organization had in the past proven to be an efficient disaster relief organization; however, the writer asserts that never have their skills being so essential and tested since the events of September 11th, particularly in New York City. The paper then looks at the activities of the Red Cross in its advocacy of those in danger of negative backlash, notably Arabs and Muslims.
From the Paper
"The ?International Red Cross? which has branches in over 175 countries of the world, works to provide extensive refugee relief activities to the victims of drought, war and ethnic conflicts all over the world. It was through the commitment of Clara Barton who organized the ?American Red Cross? with its headquarters in Washington, which received the support of millions of Americans who donated their time, talent, and financial resources to this voluntary organization. And since 1943, the month of March has been considered to be ?Red Cross Month? to recognize the lifesaving efforts of the organization."

Abstract
In this article the author looks at the events of 9/11 and its aftermath through the eyes of Carl Jung. He examines how Jung would have reacted to the events of 9/11. He points out that Jung believed very strongly in coincidence. But, would he have thought that 9/11 was a coincidence, something hidden in the collective unconsciousness. Maybe the unconscious beliefs of government officials, the CIA and FBI who knew that there was something going to happen, but didn't know when or where or even how. The paper goes on to describe how Jung would have categorized the different reactions of the American people after 9/11 in his terms of introvert and extrovert personalities. The author examines the different archetypes that Jung proposed in terms of 9/11. The paper concludes with the statement that even Jung would have not have been able to explain the "why?" of the terrorist attacks and what they hoped to accomplish.
From the Paper
"Jung dreamt a great deal about the dead, the land of the dead, and the rising of the dead. These represented the unconscious itself -- not the "little" personal unconscious that Freud made such a big deal out of, but a new collective unconscious of humanity itself. It would be interesting to assume that the thousands who died at the World Trade Center, the Pennsylvania field and at the Pentagon were somehow part of a Jungian dream. But, while we might think of Freud and Jung as seeing psychosis in dreams, Jung was more realistic. "Jung felt that, if you want to understand the jungle, you can't be content just to sail back and forth near the shore. You've got to get into it, no matter how strange and frightening it might seem" (Boeree 1)."
