¶ … 911 tragedy has set off the war against terrorism worldwide. United States led the battle against the Osama Bin Laden and his troops.

Pearl Harbor & 911 Similarities and Differences: Pearl Harbor and 9/11 Sixty years separate two of the most infamous events in American history.

Socio-Political Factors of 911: Motivations and Responses Whereas terrorism against American targets abroad has been all too common, most Americans have tended to believe themselves safe from such horrors at home. However, September-11 terrorists' attack on World Trade Center at New York ended this illusion (White, 2003). To end the threat of terrorism against the American people, we must know the true reason why we American are so hated in other
