No blog assignment this week. Talked about our 9/11 blog.
Motives for 9/11
1. US/west support of Israel
2. Christian/Jewish vs. Islam
3. US Troops in Saudi Arabia 1990-Iraq invaded Kuwait. Jihad- "Holy War"
4. Keep our culture out
Mujahaeden-1979- Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan, the US helped them out. Mujahaeden ended up becoming al-Qaeda and the Taliban.
The Taliban was the Afghanistan government they were a strict Islam group so they let al-Qaeda train there.
9/11 took more than 9 years to plan. The Twin Towers were a symbol of United States buisness. Brought the US together. The Department of Homeland security was set up and airplane security increased.
