Why was America became the target of terrorists first; why wasn't it Canada, Russia, France, or China etc. 1st

Question

Why did the terrorists target Britton first, or India first, or Spain first or some othjer country first than US?

I mean why didn't terrorists target ----?

My understanding is that US (orAmericans)was targeted by terrorists more times than any other country. Why?

Are there reasons other than Wealth, Spreading of Fredom culture, Intruding on other cultures? Are there reasons that relate to more fundamental aspects of society such as attitudes, discrimination, oppression, suppression, injustice and twisted American national values, at home within the American society that bread the hatred of terrorist groups?

Answer 1

Because the owner of the twin towers had just taken out a huge insurance policy on the buildings.

Answer 2

American foreign policy is the primary reason, particularly the US support of Israel.

If you have a country like Israel, which is viewed by the majority of the middle east to have been unfairly created, displacing the people who lived there; and if that country is then armed to the teeth by a major superpower (the US) who gives it disproportionately more weapons and money than any of the other countries in the region; and if that country happens to be at war with pretty much all of its neighbours... unfortunately the result of that is some of those people in the middle east are going to get a little riled up.

Obviously that doesn't make it right at all, but I definitely think the USA's foreign policy would be cited by 'the terrorists' to which you refer as one of the main reasons for their position.

On a slightly different note - the US hasn't been the first target of terrorists. Terrorist groups have been targeting various other countries for years (the IRA bombing British cities; ETA attacking Spain; the Tokyo underground gas attacks etc.).

Answer 3

Most terrorism is conducted by the secret services, primarily CIA/MI6/Mossad/ISI, who between them are responsible for 9/11, 7/7, Madrid train bombing, Bali bombing, Mumbai train bombing, Lockerbie air disaster, and loads more.

What the war on terrorism is all about is to keep the people frightened enough so that they give up their freedoms in exchange for ill-perceived security.

The Patriot Act and further acts and presidential signings have now resulted in the fact that ANYBODY can be arrested for no reason at all, then told that they are a suspected terrorist, and imprisoned for an unlimited period with no recourse to law.

They can even be shipped off to a foreign country and tortured!
This has happened already, and it will happen again. It can happen to YOU.

The idea of terrorism is to promote the agenda of the Illuminati/New World Order, who control the governments, and their secret services. That agenda is to take control of the entire world, remove over half the population, and reduce the freedoms of the remainder to the levels of slavery

Answer 4

where did you get the idea that America was attacked first? there have been a number of attacks by Islamic terrorists in France and the French over the years, British and German tourists seemed to be a favourite target for the Muslim brotherhood in Egypt for a while too. there is constant Islamic terrorist attacks in Russia and western china. America has come to experience terrorism at home in recent years. if i were you i would get a better news service, the one you've got does not seem to be telling you everything

Answer 5

Simple really. It hasn't Canada, Russia, France or China who have led any of the military action in the Middle East in the past 15 years. In addition, the USA is the largest, most obvious symbol of western corruption, waste, excess, globalisation and generally everything the Muslim world is opposed to. Yeah, there are plenty of countries classed as "the West", but they're not all as obvious as the USA. Plus of course attacking the USA has a bigger impact and bigger consequences than attacking France for example. Grounding every plane leaving US airspace, such as in the aftermath of the World Trade Centre attacks, has an enormous impact on the global economy. Grounding planes coming out of France hardly causes the same problem. Sorry France...

Answer 6

Terrorists have been hitting all over the world for a long time. Bin Laden wanted to have famous status because he had a failure as a leader in Afganistan and was percieved weak by some. Hitting the biggest kid on the block after being sanctioned by the very cleric who tried to blow up the WTC the first time did it for him.

Answer 7

Actually, some of those countries already had experienced a kind of terrorism, for example Russia, so America was not the first one. If it were be the first one it would be because of power, the power US wants to have over the other countries.

Answer 8

A) If you are talking about the idea of terrorism overall, it is as old as time itself and exisited before the U.S. did.

B) The U.S. is the one pushing their culture on the rest of the world, and the muslim extremists don't like that. I'm not saying 9/11 was right or anything, but the U.S. does tend to subject their culture onto other countries and let that countries own culture die in the flood of rap/hip hop music and our movies and television.

Answer 9

America wasn't first. The terrorists have been attacking all over the world for years.

Answer 10

Because we are "The Great Satan"; we have the most money; we are (supposedly) "the best"; we are the most arrogant; our way or the highway; we had the greatest symbols of commerce visible; we were unprepared; we had the lax security that made such a target relatively easy;....

We are Infidels!!!
