What events took place on September 11, 2001? How did these events reflect a rejection of American domination at the end of the millennium? Why was terrorism the chosen method for this rejection?
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER:
Students should be able to discuss the events of September 11, 2001, including the hijacking of the planes and the mission to crash into American landmarks. Students should discuss the reason for choosing these American landmarks and the organization and motives of the hijackers' organization, al Qaeda. Students should demonstrate that they understand that Usama bin Laden, a rich Saudi, was angry with the United States for its interference in the political, economic, and cultural affairs of the Middle East. By using terrorism as a method to attack the United States, al Qaeda hoped to bring a violent retaliation that would draw the world's attention, sympathy, and the overthrow of repressive Middle Eastern governments.
