9/11 Pros And Cons

`

On September 11, 2001, three planes crashed into the Twin Towers. It was initially seen as an incident but with the arrival of two additional planes, it became clear that the attack was on purpose. The 9/11 attack on the U.S. was carried out by the terrorist group Al-Qaeda ( managed by Osama Bin Laden ) resulting in the loss of thousands of lives creating a comprehensive response from the US government. This attack can increase the paranoia and trust issue among the American people, which would result in a possible increase in national security that would erode civil liberties. On the other hand, the US can become more aggressive in response to the terrorist attack. They would put more money into the military and would become more concentrated

Since the government was afraid that the attack had chances to come from the inside as to come from the outside, they enhanced national security by spying and controlling every move of American suspects. Those actions can lead to a violation of freedom.

In addition to the previous declaration, the FBI spied on Orange County Muslims without their permission. This follows

After the attack on the twin towers, the US Congress gave full authorization to the President to use the full military part. They hoped to find the group of Al-Qaeda by sending a full military force. According to Authorization for the Use of Military Force, “ The President is authorized to use all necessary and appropriate force against those nations, organizations, or persons he determines planned, authorized, committed, or aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001, ( US Congress ) “.This declaration from Congress highlights the fact that the U.S. could use any military force. This could lead to monopolizing the army and maybe concentrating more money and attention on the foreign military. The idea of appropriate force underlines that they could send any necessary military and consequently focus more on foreign attacks. The US Congress who gives full authorization to the president to take full action would create some pieces of evidence about the how government would use the authorization of the congress. The need for statistics is proof to show how the government managed the military during the crisis. During the replication of 9/11, the
