Ward Churchill's View On 9/11 Summary
Brenda Carino
English 104
Ward Churchill Response Ward Churchill’s perspective on the September 11, attack in 2001 is very intriguing because he states that the United States had done the same damage in other countries specifying
Iraq mostly, therefore deserved what the terrorist had planned which was bomb the World Trade
Center and the Pentagon. In his article he states that there was 500,000 iraqi children whom the
United States army supposedly murdered intentionally which he has no proof of, so it completely contradicts his point of us murdering innocent people. The article states that the American public basically ignored all the suffering that was going on in Iraq, as “...brown­skinned five­year olds sat shivering in the dark, wide eyed in horror, whimpering as they expired in the most agonizing

Churchill is spreading hate against the United States by twisting facts and pointing the finger at the US for making it possible for innocent people to die. He compares the victims killed in the WTC and Pentagon to one of the most crucial blood thirsty man ever known as Adolf Eichmann who murdered thousands of Jewish Nazi’s and was happy to say he “... if it has to be i would gladly jump into my grave in the knowledge 5 million enemies of the rike have already died like animals.” He goes about this by saying that “you do not have to be the one who turns on the gas in order for it to be lit as long as you 're making sure it is there,” which means you don 't have to kill in order to be a killer if you have an army to do the dirty work for you, you are just about guilty as them, which is understandable but definitely not fair to what the outcome was. I oppose to the statement he makes when saying the United States got what it deserved because no innocent person deserves to die and whether other people like the government, did any harm to the terrorist’s family, it is really between them and I don 't believe anyone else id to blame but whoever it was who pulled the trigger first because in all honesty I do not know if

    Two planes were slammed in the twin towers killing 3,000 people and injuring 6,000. Another plane plunged in the Pentagon killing 186 people, the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania after the passengers on the plane charged the hijackers which caused them to lose control of the plane, in result everyone on board died. Iraq felt the United States got what they deserved because of past and present U.S. policies in the Middle East. Palestinians praised the terrorist attacks against Americans because U.S. continuing support for Israel and its military presence in Saudi Arabia. However the policies towards the Middle East do not justify the 9/11 attacks by the Al Qaeda network. The attack was acted out of frustration by people who failed to confront the oppressive governments internally in their dual struggle. President George W. Bush confronted Al Qaeda and demanded that Afghanistan turn Bin Laden over to the U.S. After Taliban failed to meet the demand, the U.S. provided military assistance to the Northern Alliance. In March troops were deployed in the land and the act was called “war against global terrorism. The expenses of these attacks were out of control. The international community pledged 1.8 billion in 2002 to help rebuild Afghanistan and another 2.7 billion to come in subsequent years. The U.S. continued to escalate the war even after Taliban power had been removed and the money to rebuild their country was not handed over. The Taliban has shown that they are going to fight until the end and for America, this is Vietnam being…

    SS lieutenant colonel Adolf Eichmann represented the epitome of desk murderers. “A hundred dead people is a catastrophe,” Eichmann told. “Six million dead is a statistic” (Rice 57). Born on March 19, 1906 in Solingen Germany, it wasn’t long before Eichmann moved with his family to Linz, Austria to finish schooling and get a career. Upon completing school, he wanted to study mechanical engineering, but couldn’t complete it because of the rough economic situation in Germany in the 20’s. Eichmann moved from job to job, working shortly as a mining laborer and then in the Upper Austrian electrical construction company. Finally, he became a salesman for the Vacuum Oil Company from 1927 to 1933 (Jewish Virtual).…

    “The Army taught him how to be a soldier, how to carry out a mission and how to [eliminate] the enemy” (Wertheimer 2). His career in the military was very second-nature for him given the fact that he was “intelligent and well-mannered” (Wertheimer 2). As a “decorated veteran of Desert Storm” (Wertheimer 1) McVeigh decided to join the Green Berets, “[but] on the second day of a 21-day tryout for the Green Berets, McVeigh quit, and soon left the Army altogether” (Collins 2). After his discharge from the military, he went back home looking for work. McVeigh didn’t have much luck in that department so he “drifted, living in motels, visiting Fortier and Nichols” (Collins 2). Along the way, Timothy McVeigh picked up “The Turner Diaries.” “The Turner Diaries laid out for, Timothy McVeigh, a blueprint for political action. Blow up a building; start a revolution; change the country” (Wertheimer 2). All these examples of circumstances helped influence his decision to bomb innocent people. In McVeigh’s eyes, they were not innocent because they had wrong the American rights in the Waco Incident. A group of extreme believers was taken out because the government felt that they were a threat to the nation’s security and…

    On September 11, 2001, Islamic terrorists executed attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. killing nearly 3,000 people. Later that day, President George W. Bush released a statement to the public describing the acts that occurred, the steps that were being taken to return communities to peace, and the steps the government was taking to retaliate against the people that committed this heinous act. President Bush explained the horrifying events, and then reassured the public that his administration would be unfazed by the attempt to disrupt the American way of life. Although this event was not something that he or the American people would soon forget, he stressed the importance of remaining positive…

    In his primetime televised speech on Tuesday night, President Obama addressed the nation on the supposed threat of Syria’s chemical weapons. He tried to make a convincing case for why the U.S should intervene in the Syrian civil war. He argued that the U.S should respond to Syrian president Bashar al Assad’s use of chemical weapons as this a was a crime against humanity. He also argued that by responding to this attack that it would send a message to the “tyrants” who might use such weapons again in the future. However his case wasn’t strong enough. He failed to convince Americans citizens that intervening in Syria’s civil war was a good decision. He was not able to provide a strong enough argument why the Syrian regime should be punished for their actions as majority of the points he made were weak, and there were multiple contradictions presented in his case.…

    However it was not the first time terrorist attacks came to surface within American soil. In fact the world trade centre was once bombed before. The bombing which occurred on February 26 1993 has long since overshadowed by the attack that brought the twin towers down on September 11 2001. Yet at the time it occurred, the attack loomed as large on the American landscape as the towers themselves one did on Manhattan skyline (Dywer 1994). The attack killed six people and injured more than a thousand. The perpetrators Ramzi Yousef, Mahmud Abouhalima, Mohammad Salameh, Nidal Ayyah, Abdu; Rahman Yasin and Ahmed Ajaj were from Islamic countries. Although this event was never justified it was still America’s first foreign terrorist attack. This incident was the baby stone to a much catastrophic and monstrous event which is…

    John Updike's [comment] from The New Yorker focuses on "something great and horrendous" and represents the trauma associated with the 911 attacks. Although the author did not stay at the lower Manhattan at that moment, he expressed a feeling of empathy in Brooklyn heights. He worried and sympathized with the sufferings of people. "We knew we had just witnessed thousands of deaths; we clung to each other as if we ourselves were falling." At that moment, everyone's hearts are connected together to face the confusion together. The human's lives are fragility when people have experienced the war and death. However, they also are fortitude. "We have only the mundane duties of survivors-to pick up the pieces, to bury the dead, to take more precautions,…

    Mostly everyone knows about 9/11 and it goes down as one of the scariest days in U.S history. I can say myself that 9/11 has impacted me in so many ways to make me the person I am today. You may be wondering what I mean but surely enough by the end of my college essay, you’ll know exactly what I'm talking about. Since that day my life has been changed in so many ways.

    It just made me wonder how we do it, how our society functions. It only takes one Person with bad intentions to cause a ripple that's irreversible (mass destruction); we are almost like a colony of ants except for the fact that if one of us goes crazy we have more than mandibles, we have bombs and guns and an impossible amount of weapons to control. I realized that it is now a different time than our parent’s life, where men self detonate out of radicalization just to scare a country and cause damage. However our country has a way to persevere and we didn’t stop what we were doing; we just kept going on with our lives. We know America will be a target but we will still be accepting of all races. We didn’t stop muslim immigration because of the attacks. Granted, we still do screening but it shows our core principles. To be American is to persevere and accept others while prospering by understanding that just because one person of a religion, political group or ethnicity does something that is either bad or good, it does not and will never be a representation of that whole religion, political group or…

    Martin Amis uses exquisite imagery from the very beginning of his essay. The metal pictures he creates enable the reader to visualize the events of 9/11, and feel the same emotions as witnesses of those events. Amis also deepens the reader’s emotional experience by personifying America: “Until then America thought she was witnessing nothing more serious than the worst aviation disaster in history; now she had a sense of the fantastic vehemence raged against her.” By personifying America, Amis identifies the devastation of all Americans on 9/11. He articulates that it was not only the residence surrounding the twin towers, family members of the passengers on the planes, or the workers at the Pentagon or the World Trade Center that were affected, but rather America as a whole that was shaken by the attacks of 9/11.…

A country or society can only prosper in peaceful conditions,” he said. “In this connection, Jamiat Ulama-i- Hind has so far conducted nearly 200 meetings and conferences. We have achieved considerable success on this point and shall continue to fight unless peace prevails in the society,” he added.…
