Attack Against America example essay topic

The tragedy of 9/11/01 shows the path America has been on. The loss of life should not have even happened. This idea that has been put forth by the anti-constitutional / anti -personal responsibility liberal left, that the government is the only one that can take care of us led to those tragic deaths. The American people have been programmed into believing that if a plane is hijacked that the government will negotiate and they will be safe.

There is no negotiating with religious fanatics. The passengers on the planes out numbered the terrorists. Everyone on those planes had the power to over take the hijackers, but they did not. Only the plane that crashed in Pennsylvania had people aboard that understood this concept. They died, but they died fighting and maybe if they had more time, they might have been able to land the plane safely. Why is that in a women's self defense / anti -rape class, the first thing that is taught is that you never give into your attacker and everything in your purse or hand can be a weapon.

This same concept must be taught when dealing with terrorists. All the passengers on the ill-fated flights possessed that power but did not take advantage of it. All through history mankind has been victim to small groups of oppressors that control and kill. Just go back a little over 500 years and remember the 178 Conquistadors that conquered a civilization with 10 million citizens and killed 14,000 of them in one day. There was no reason for all of them to die, they had the power of numbers to overwhelm the Conquistadors, but did not. In situations like these, we must understand that some may die trying to save the lives of others.

But to give up and let all die is a total waste of life. Making a terrorist resistance door will not help, if the pilot still opens the door because one person has died in the plane. The pilot has five choices in dealing with the hijacker and the fifth choice is the wrong one. The pilot already knows that the hijacker is not seated, his choices are make a steep climb, a steep dive, and a roll to the left or a roll to the right. All these choices incapacitate the hijacker and the passengers must take control of the situation to over power the hijacker. The fifth choice is what the liberal left would have us do, turn the plane over to the hijacker, because the government will take care of us.

That is not how it works with these fanatics! After the attack President Bush said America would get justice. This meant we would take them to court and make them suffer with the parking in New York. Then our President and Country declared war on terrorism and the American people rallied behind this idea for a few days.

Now we are told that some of Bin Laden's assets have been seized. As Americans we must ask why have not these assets been seized before by previous administrations? They knew Bin Laden was behind previous attacks. So now we are supposed to be at war. How can we as a nation expect to put the fear of our God and religions into these fanatics and win the war, when we have to change the name of the operation 3 times as to not to offend anyone of a different religious persuasion. Why did the Attorney General when discussing the letter from a hijacker have to keep apologizing and saying that in no way does this reflect the Muslim faith?

We are defeating ourselves from the very beginning. America must stand tall and not bend with the winds of words. Our enemies have never worried about offending America. No American has once celebrated in the street over the death of a Palestinian as they did. When the Christian holidays arrive, will the terrorists call for a truce on attacks against America? I think not.

But when the Muslim holidays arrive we will not be able to fight them out of respect for their religion. You don't win a war with these tactics. If you think I am wrong just remember the last attacks on Iraq. We could not fight them during Ramadan.

And during that conflict a soldier did what soldiers have done since time began and man had conflicts. He wrote on a bomb headed for Iraq that said Happy Ramadan. Well the liberals saw this and wanted the soldier court martialed. They said that it was insensitive to write something like that. Well excuse me, it is a bomb, what the hell do you think a bomb does. In 1967 the Arabs attacked Israel on yom Kippur, a religious holiday.

Because of this blaze n act the Arabs got their butts kicked. They don't care or respect other religions, so why should America stop fighting during their Ramadan? Maybe it is because we don't want to upset the coalition? Yeah right. It has been proven that besides Bin Laden, that Egypt and Saudi Arabia was also involved in the attack against America. We must remember that the Arabs like to threaten America and say how they will give us the mother of all wars.

They talk good trash, but when push comes to shove, they cry like little children. As in Iraq the soldiers dropped their guns when they saw us coming. The Arabs only fight good against each other. They are no real threat if we actually fight a war as a war should be fought.

The most ridiculous event of convenience to take place since the bombing was the Muslim firemen in Florida that refused to ride on the fire truck because the American flag represented oppression. So all of a sudden these guys feel compelled to say that America is bad and oppressive. So what great country did they leave to come here? These guys should tell us where the best country is?

Does that country allow them all the freedoms and that nice paycheck that they have been earning from this oppressive country? I am sure we all would like to go to that country. Is it a secret? Somebody please tell us where this Utopia is?

But the real problem here was that they won and the flag was removed. Now this takes us to another area with the state of American War. We here all these people saying I don't want to see innocent people die. So are they saying the people in the planes, the Pentagon and the World Trade Center were not innocent?

Bombing empty buildings and factories does not end tyranny. If it does then why don't terrorists bomb empty American buildings? Buildings get rebuilt and the bombings do not bring down the governments. America must retaliate and retaliate hard. If America does not, the terrorists will see this as a weakness and attack us again.

The anti-war activists are marching in Washington for us to forgive, forget and negotiate. Our enemies love this sign of weakness. If we gave into their demands, as these protesters would have, where do you think we would be? We would be dead. These fanatics want all Americans to be dead! Would someone please ask these activists how you negotiate something like that?

Bill Mar tells America that firing missiles is not courage, but being a terrorist on a plane that kills innocent people is what courage is. What is wrong with this liberal picture? Why is it that the liberals would now have us believe that we made the terrorists attack us? That now the terrorists are the victims, not America.

Terrorists stand for nothing other than control of other people. If they really looked at themselves they would see that they are what they hate. But that would be using logic, which these fanatics do not have the word in their vocabulary. Innocent people will die in wars and they will be remembered. But without this fear, war will not be feared. We have not fought a war, as a war since WWII.

In Korea we were afraid to take it downtown to the enemy and we lost thousands of American soldiers. America had the chance to go to downtown Baghdad and did not. Sad am is still in power oppressing his people and living the good life downtown. In Vietnam, we did not take it to downtown Hanoi and we lost 60,000 American soldiers.

To win a war you do not just defend, you take it to the enemy! Surgical bombing has been proven not to work. America lets UNICEF deliver 50 million dollars worth of aid to the Afghanistan rebels. And the U.S. government gives money to help with the refugees. This is because America wants them to know that we are not the bad guys.

We want to put the rebels in power in Afghanistan so the people will be free. Oh please! Can't we remember Somalia? America went there to help.

The warlords were put in power and were given aid, food and money. And what did they give us? They killed our soldiers that were there to help them and sold the aid supplies on the black market. In Bosnia we gave aid to one side to stop the ethnic cleansing. Then when it was over the side we were protecting became as bad as the side we were fighting.

They started their own ethnic cleansing. The only thing that America did that made mankind safer in Yugoslavia was when w the Yugo Auto factory was bombed. That is the only instance when surgical bombing a building worked and saved mankind. As Americans, every time there is a disaster in the world we rush in to help and to give money. As of 9/11/01 how many countries have sent money to help cover the cost of cleaning up New York? How about Vincente Fox of Mexico?

Since he became President, all he can do is tell us how much we need his citizens in America. I may have missed it, but I don't remember hearing him offer to send people to help in New York and to work for less than minimum wage. I guess you know who your friends are when you live in America. The world hates the American lifestyle, but none of them will return any American dollars.

Why is that? How about France? That is the country that would not let us fly over them to get Khdafy. Paris is where every terrorist has a cell and this is a well-known fact to the world. Then the President of France says they are behind America, but that they will not commit troops. Well we all knew they would do that.

But let them need help and who do they come running to? Yes that is right, America. And when we are done helping them, we are the Ugly Americans to the French. We need true American history to be taught in our schools again. It use to be taught that Freedom was earned and not given by oppressors. Lives had to be given for America to become a nation.

In 1776 America did not go to King George and ask that America become a free country. And if they did, do you think the King would have said, "Hey, that's a great idea. You go and have a great time". America had to fight for freedom with the loss of life and America must fight now for freedom.

War is not glory. War is not bombing buildings that can be rebuilt. War is horrible. War is death. War is the maintainer of peace and freedom for periods of time in the future. As long as man can have different opinions and beliefs there will always be wars.

It is freedom that guarantees different opinions, beliefs and speech. These freedoms at times must be preserved by war. America may have a lot of problems, but America is the closest thing to a Utopia that world has seen.
