9/11 attack, why?

Question

I'm a bit unsure...why were we attacked by terrorism? Did the UK or USA provoke the Iraq community/area? Or was the whole thing about something in particular?

Answer 1

911 was not Iraq! it was osama! hes a soudi!
and no-one will ever know why!

Answer 2

No - no. It had nothing to do with the US! Heaven forbid!!!! Like Bushwhacker had this old buddy, friend of the family don't you know, and he wandered off to Saudi Arabia, and then 911 happened. Bushwhacker and buddies accused him Osama bin Laden of orchestrating the assault on the World Trade Center with commercial jet airplanes. It was easy to do -- http://youtube.com/results?search_query=9%2F11 -

Oh MY God! Tell me when time began. I'm itching to know.


glittershelly -- duh --

Did time begin about 15 billion years ago -- or did time begin about 4.5 million years ago on Earth by a very insentient microbe OR when the US got it's Independence.

thumberlina -- an impressive history. Never=the-less -- you are out in deep water. The reason Americans are disliked is because they are out for what they can get.

I don't say this to make you angry, heaven help us if we have one more angry American. You know with you people the thing is to win at any cost.

As far as the world goes the US is still infantile and ill informed. They impose themselves on the rest of the world like they were kings. There is no living with Americans.

9/11 was a pinicol of lust for the Bush family, the only people that could gain from the 9/11 attack on the towers other than the new owner of the World Trade Center Silverstein. He bought for 15 billion dollars and claimed 700 billion dollars when the Trade Centre was destroyed. He got paid! A lot of people died -- and they still are in Iraq - an innocent by-stander for once.

Its OK to wonder why you have been attacked as long as you investigate what was going on. Investigate and tell your peers why you have reached your conclusion. It may be too difficult for you to do. It's a difficult society out there. I hope you can persevere.

I don't expect that any one of us can put this crises together. Its been along time in the making. The US has been pushing buttoms all over the world with little help execpt which which is pro American. I don't think that anyone's view of the world will change by what I have to say. But I hope that Americans quit acting so superior and join the rest of the world.

Answer 3

i can only imagine that you are trying to provoke a hostile response by asking this stupid question. it wasn't Iraq who flew the planes into the trade centre buildings but osama bin laden and his group of mad men (who's family just happens to be gw bush's friends).
the problem with any super power is that they will step on every ones toes as they go about their plans for world domination. if you push long enough someone will crack and try to push back. unfortunately the result was the dreadful 9-11 attacks.
the worst thing was g w and his cronies tried to use this to suit their own strategic aims and try and get a bit more oil out of the middle east.this of course has just fanned the flames a bit more and made the arabs a bit madder.
as we now know these countrys have never and will never be tamed (in the western meaning of the word). if russia couldnt do it in afganistan with a far larger army than nato are using at the moment then we are buggered.

Answer 4

A former Bush team member during his first administration is now voicing serious doubts about the collapse of the World Trade Center on 9-11. Former chief economist for the Department of Labor during President George W. Bush's first term Morgan Reynolds comments that the official story about the collapse of the WTC is "bogus" and that it is more likely that a controlled demolition destroyed the Twin Towers and adjacent Building No. 7.

Answer 5

If you want to know why 9/11 happened do research on Afghanistan in the 1970's and find out what our goverments(U.K, U.S) took part in alot of people say Islam when that is not the case Islam is a religion that Al Quaeda are using to there advantage to recruit (also learn about guirella warfare & hearts and minds). You have to find something you have in common with people for them to be more willing to join your cause such as declaring war on the ''infidels'' and they are using religion. But the case of the matter is our Goverments done more than fight communists in the middle east in the 1970's directly and indirectly that is all im going to say the matter (just research and avoid using the web to do it becaue you'll get alot of bias information).

Answer 6

All anyone can offer is an opinion !It is mine that the foreign policy's of the US has never dealt fairly with this area of the world our extreme support for Israel ,has cost us friends within Islamic world.Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11,a well connected ,angry and organized terrorist's took us on,please don't lump Iraq in this mess.I am 56,30 years of watching my country's strange dealings with this area of the world, a US citizen with an opinion.please read your us history and see how you Feel it may be different than mine!

Answer 7

9/11 was planned and carried out by Osama bin Laden, a Saudi millionaire. He was a religious nutter who had been trained by the US and let loose in Afghanistan to fight the Russians years ago. When that fight finished he came home to Saudi Arabia to find it was full of US soldiers and businessmen (Saudi Arabia was an ally of ours). Osama figured the presence of the US on Saudi soil was an affront to his religion and wanted them 'out'. The terror campaign was designed to persuade them to leave. Osama was not Iraqi, he hated the Iraqis and they returned the sentiment twice over. Saddam would have had him shot if he could have got his hands on him.

Saddam's particular bit of terror, apart from the insane invasion of Iran (encouraged by the US) and of Kuwait (to the great annoyance of the US), was that he tried to have George Bush Senior, and his wife and daughter in-law (wife of GW) assasinated during a visit they made to Kuwait after the Kuwait War.

***Edit***

Sadams idiocy extended of course to trying to bluff the world that he was still a 'big man' by pretending to have WMD, and of course his idiocy was matched by some other folk's gullibility. Meanwhile the 'clever' one (Osama) still directs attacks on US interests and is still waiting for the US to pull out of Saudi Arabia. The irony here is that if had his way, and walked back into Saudi Arabia as a 'hero' he'd be bumped off by some local with a grudge against him. The Crusaders back in the 1100's - by the time they'd learnt to play the game of Middle East politics - knew that the best way to defeat their Arab enemies was to let them defeat each other. It's not the lack of military experience in current US leadership that ought to be the worry (although it is a worry), but their profound ignorance of history.

Answer 8

9/11 was planned and orchestrated by the U.S Government in order to persuade public opinion so that they could go and start a so called 'War on Terror'.

If you still believe that it was actual terrorists that caused this atrocity then you'll believe anything.

Answer 9

There are numerous reasons, but I can explain a few here...

Islam abides by the Qu'ran. The Qu'ran instructs Muslims to kill any Jew, Christian, or non-Muslim. A Muslim does not know if they will go to heaven or not. The only guarantee they have is if they are martyred. If a Muslim kills an "infidel", they believe they are assured "paradise". Thus, they would not hesitate flying into a building, killing thousands, and themselves.

Secondly, the U.S. supports Israel, a sworn enemy of Islam. And by doing this, the Muslims deem the U.S. their enemy also. That is why they call us the "Great Satan".

The U.S. did not provoke anything. Actually, these terrorists gained entry visas into the U.S. as "flight students". As soon as they had organized their plot, they put it into play.

Here's the nuts and bolts of the whole issue, my friend... Islam has one goal, and that is to make the world Islamic. And to do that, they must either kill all they consider "infidels", or get them to submit willingly to Islam. And as long as there are nations unwilling to submit, they will be the target of terrorism by these murderers.

Answer 10

there is no link between Iraq and 9/11. The official story is that bin Laden (who is saudi) was trained by the englishs, pakistanis and americans to do terrorism against Russians in Afghanista. And afterwards bin Laden used his knowledge against US (mainly because he wants american troops to leave Saudi Arabia).

Answer 11

for as long as time began, there has been a divide in east and west, that is the root, only beliefs, teachings and laws changed, there has always been a divide, and there will always be one, only the way we behave changes, centuries ago, the divide wasnt on a terrorism scale, but because teachings, faith and the way behaviour can change through history, it is, the terrorist attck was because he believed and tought many others to believe that this was the only way, they want what they would call revenge on their behalf for the divide between east and west.
