Why? the US was funding mujaheaden (now Al-Quada) because they were fighting soviets when they stopped, Osmaa bin ladin declared juhad against the US because
1. We were funding Isreal
2. Islamic vs. christian
3. US troops in Saudia Arabia
4. keepUS culture out of Middle East
Also Al-Queda thought we were going to take over them.
what did the US do in response? They called war on Afghanistan because thats where we thought Al-Quida was hidding out.
It also brought our country together for the first time.
Also the president at that time said that if any commerical airline wasnt doing what was told or the people couldnt get ahold of the plan then they were told to shoot it down.
What impact did it have on the united states? Democrats and Republicans actually working together after this happend. President Bush made it known that we were going to go after them who went after us.
