Abstract
In the aftermath of September 11, many alternative histories have arisen. Some believe that the American government has covered up the real reasons why the terrorist attack occurred, while others have written books about how the event would have been different if someone else was president. This paper explores the alternative histories of September 11 that have been propagated through the media and in books. This discussion provides an overview of many different scenarios, including one that the Bush administration allowed the attacks to happen so as to obtain an excuse to gain control over Middle Eastern oil supplies.
Paper Outline
Introduction
Alternative Histories
Discussion and Conclusion
From the Paper
"O'Meara also asserts that the frustration of family members was fueled by the lack of cooperation that the White House and intelligence agencies had with the commission. Questions begin to arise concerning what the agencies and the White House was attempting to hide and what information they had before the attacks that may have signaled that terrorists were going to strike (O'Meara). The commission delved into both the Clinton and Bush administration to see whether there were any smoking guns that would indicate that an attack on the United States was imminent (O'Meara). Eventually the commission received more cooperation from the Bush Administration and was able to piece together some of the warning signs that signaled that the attacks were being planned (O'Meara)."

Abstract
The 1995 Porsche 911 (Type 993) is discussed in this paper. Firstly, a full examination of its form (materials, shapes, patterns, scale, color) and its function are explained. The paper then provides a brief look at background information that addresses the design principles from the stylistic period in which it originates. Thereafter the paper traces the historical influences within the automotive field that help shape the 1995 Porsche 911 (Type 993). The paper looks at other influences on the design of the 1995 Porsche 911 (Type 993) from the design of planes and submarines from the same time period. Finally, the paper presents a personal critique on the design including how its form functions. The paper includes pictures.
From the Paper
"The 911 is the signature and most recognizable Porsche ever to be designed. It has been on the market for over 30 years, has encompassed over 50 different models and it is still counting . The 911, initially called the 901 but soon after changed because Peugeot had patented all 3 digit combinations with zero in the middle , was originally designed in 1963 to replace the first Porsche ever designed, the 356. The 1948 356 Roadster will be used, along with the 1963 Porsche 911, to conduct a diachronic analysis on the design influences present on the 1995 911 Porsche (Type 993). The Type 993 was very consistent in its production between 1993 and 1996 with only minor adjustments to some components, therefore the 1995 edition of the Porsche 911 (Type 993) was chosen for the design project examination. The synchronic analysis will focus on relating how both the overall line and components of the Type 993 911 relate to aerodynamic/hydrodynamic design of planes and submarines. As for the components that will be analyzed, they will include the integrated headlamps compared to train engines and the rear-spoiler to the tail fin of fish."

Abstract
This paper discusses the 2004 docudrama film, "Fahrenheit 911" directed by filmmaker Michael Moore. The paper describes how the film takes an in-depth critical look at President George W. Bush's leadership of the United States, from the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on New York's World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., until the presidential election season of 2004. The paper claims that the film is highly entertaining to watch, but also contains a distinct ideological perspective. The paper analyzes the presence of a distinctly leftist ideology within Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 911".
From the Paper
"The film shows extensive preferential treatment, on the part of George W. Bush's presidential administration in particular, for the other "haves" of the world (as opposed to the "have nots" of the world). For example, members of international terrorist Osama Bin Laden's wealthy family are shown being given U.S. government-chartered flights back to Saudi Arabia after the 911 terrorist attacks, in a U.S. government effort to "protect" them. The film also implies a close previous (and ongoing) business association between the Bin Laden family of Saudi Arabia and members of George W. Bush's own wealthy and privileged family, including George W. Bush himself. "

Abstract
One of the main questions asked by the American public regarding the 911 terror attacks, was: Why was nothing done to prevent this? The 911 Commission Report is a bipartisan analysis set out to answer this question and many others. This paper discusses how the extensive thirteen-chapter review looks at everything from the history of al Qaeda and other terrorist networks, to the exact approach the FAA, NORAD and our countries' leaders took in deciphering the attacks as they happened. It shows how, in the closing chapters, the commission gives advice on reorganizing the U.S. government's foreign as well as domestic policy as to better suit societies changing ways. This essay evaluates all these circumstances leading up to September 11, as well as evaluates the entire volume as to the author's opinion of the 911 Commission Report.
Paper Outline:
The History of the Attack and our Response
Fanatic Islam
Counter-terrorism
Recommendations of the Commission
My Opinion
From the Paper
"While I can agree with the commission's foreign policy recommendations, their recommendations with regard to domestic security are somewhat suspect. I can accept a biometric screening system for foreign nationals; however their recommendations with regard to identity documents sound like a national ID system. While for border security this is not too big a concern, the creeping reach of government programs means it will eventually be used for tracking citizen's movements within the US. That is not acceptable, no matter how many people terrorists kill."

Abstract
The papers discusses the effect of the 9/11 attacks on the economy, both in the U.S.A and elsewhere. It begins by examining the impact on the aviation industry before moving on to the tourism industry. The paper also looks at the insurance and reinsurance companies, as well as investment banks.
From the Paper
"Some analysts believe that this ?hard market? will last until 2005, but I believe that by the end of that year, and if no major catastrophes occur, premium prices will start to decrease. What insurers and reinsurers are doing now is hiding their profits by strengthening their reserves; they are bound to do that in order to keep the rates high. The question now is for how long can they maintain this scheme? Analysts say that there is still a tremendous capacity for insurers out there because of the capacity that was lost after the attacks. Yet, this capacity was returned just a few months after the attacks when six new Bermuda companies entered the market. (Loomis 2002)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the aggregate demand and supply situation in the United States after the September 11 attacks. The paper explains that the economy is currently undergoing recession, which is not the result of terrorist attacks alone, but the tragedy has certainly hastened the process.
From the Paper
"It is generally believed by the experts that with the fund rate going down significantly, the economy will bounce back from its state of recession in the coming months. But people are not certain if the increase in economic activity will actually have an impact in the GDP and the general market condition as the unemployment rate is continuously rising. The profits margins of corporations in the Unite States have shrunk significantly which is the primary reason why so many workers have been laid off."

Post-911 Media Coverage on Terror, 2003.

Abstract
This paper argues that, ever since September 11th, the United States' media has aided the government's effort to direct the public's attention away from important questions concerning native terrorism and the administration's failure to prevent the terrorist attacks on the United States, despite the information it had on these attacks, by focusing attention on Afghanistan and Iraq as threats to the United States security.
From the Paper
"Furthermore, the Jordanian intelligence also reached such information and did tell the Bush Administration but the Administration did not take these tips seriously, either (Trifkovic). This failure and the names of the intelligence agencies and the agents themselves were all published in European newspapers following September 11th together with the accusation that the US government had been careless in its duty, but the only American newspaper that published that story was the International Herald Tribune (Trifkovic). Even so, the mainstream American media did not raise this important issue (Martin). As with the anthrax case, this shows that the mainstream media is considering the political position of the government and its image in front of the American public, instead of focusing on the right of the people to know such important information."

Protecting the American Homeland Post-911, 2003.
An analysis of the political rationalisations associated with the USA Patriot Act as offered by Robert S. Mueller, III, former director of the FBI.

Abstract
On December 19, 2002, Robert S. Mueller, III, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, addressed the Citizens Crime Commission of New York City and remarked on the status of the War on Terror, as well as the status of the FBI. Mueller's remarks, carefully crafted to legitimise FBI operations, clearly embody the spirit of what rhetorician Hugh Rank refers to as cause rhetoric. This paper attempts to analyse the basic pattern of persuasion utilised in cause group rhetoric within Rank's predictable, four-part pattern of the "Pep Talk," including (1) the Threat; (2) the Bonding; (3) the Cause; (4) the Response. Each element is analysed both in the context of Muller's remarks and within the current political context.
From the Paper
"Following the success of the USA PATRIOT ACT, the Bush administration soon announced plans for the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and on January 23, 2002, Congress enacted the "Homeland Security Act of 2002." To many it seemed the Bush administration and the 107th Congress had responded swiftly and appropriately to the realities of a post-September 11 America. However, upon closer scrutiny it has become overwhelmingly clear that individual Americans will pay the price for security, not only in higher taxes and reduced social welfare appropriations, but also through the calculated and unquestionable reduction of basic civil liberties."

Abstract
This paper takes a look at, and compares, the docudrama films 'Fahrenheit 911' and 'Bowling for Columbine' versus the docudrama films 'FahrenHype 9/11' and 'Celsius 41.11 - The Temperature at Which the Brain Begins to Die'. The paper takes a look at how these films influence the reputation of docudrama as a film genre.
From the Paper
"Within Fahrenheit 911 Michael Moore uses footage that is simultaneously disturbing and humorous, in which President George W. Bush is shown, immediately after hearing the news of the September 11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, continuing to read the children's book My Pet Goat to a group of Florida elementary school children, while also looking blankly off into the distance trying to figure out what to do next. The sequence of events leading up to that series of shots, in which Bush reads "My Pet Goat" and looks perplexed, for at least five full minutes, is obviously intended by Moore to illustrate that, even though Bush comes from a powerful, privileged family, he is still unfit, on his own, to be President.

This paper examines international legal developments since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States. The paper reveals that the most significant developments have been bitter disagreement within the United Nations Security Council over the legality of the American invasion of Iraq and disputes over the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court. In both cases, American interpretations of international law and how to enforce it have not coincided with the interpretations of most of the international community.
