NO Terrorism! Next Let us see some aftermaths after The 911 Attack, which is consisted: Immediate nation

15、al response War on Terrorism Domestic response International response Conspiracy theories Immediate national response The 9/11 attacks had immediate and overwhelming effects upon the American people. Many police officers and rescue workers elsewhere in the country took leaves of absence to travel to

16、 New York City to assist in the process of recovering bodies from the twisted remnants of the Twin Towers. Blood donations across the U.S. also saw a surge in the weeks after 9/11.For the first time in history, SCATANA was invoked forcing all non-emergency civilian aircraft in the United States and

17、several other countries including Canada to be immediately grounded, stranding tens of thousands of passengers across the world.Any international flights were closed to American airspace by the Federal Aviation Administration, causing about five hundred flights to be turned back or redirected to oth

18、er countries. Canada received 226 of the diverted flights and launched Operation Yellow Ribbon to deal with the large numbers of grounded planes and stranded passengers. War on Terrorism The NATO council declared that the attacks on the United States were considered an attack on all NATO nations and

19、, as such, satisfied Article 5 of the NATO charter. Upon returning to Australia having been on an official visit to the US at the time of the attacks, Australian Prime Minister John Howard invoked Article IV of the ANZUS treaty. In the immediate aftermath of the attacks, the Bush administration anno

20、unced a war on terrorism, with the stated goals of bringing Osama bin Laden and al- Qaeda to justice and preventing the emergence of other terrorist networks. These goals would be accomplished by means including economic and military sanctions against states perceived as harboring terrorists and inc

21、reasing global surveillance and intelligence sharing. The second-biggest operation of the U.S. Global War on Terrorism outside of the United States, and the largest directly connected to terrorism, was the overthrow of the Taliban rule of Afghanistan by a U.S.-led coalition. The United States was no

22、t the only nation to increase its military readiness, with other notable examples being the Philippines and Indonesia, countries that have their own internal conflicts with Islamic terrorism.U.S. officials speculated on possible involvement of Saddam Hussein immediately afterwards. Although these su

23、spicions were unfounded, the association contributed to public acceptance for the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

33、ople,Ithankthemanyworld leaderswhohavecalledtooffertheircon dolencesandassistance. International response The attacks were denounced by mainstream media and governments worldwide. Across the globe, nations offered pro-American support and solidarity. Leaders in most Middle Eastern countries, includi

34、ng Afghanistan, condemned the attacks. Iraq was a notable exception, with an immediate official statement that the American cowboys are reaping the fruit of their crimes against humanity. Another publicized exception was the celebration of some Palestinians. Conspiracy theories Proponents of conspir

35、acy theories have suggested that individuals inside the United States possessed detailed information about the attacks and deliberately chose not to prevent them, or that individuals outside of al-Qaeda planned, carried out, or assisted in the attacks. Some conspiracy theorists claim the World Trade

36、 Center did not collapse because of the crashing planes but was demolished through the use of explosives. This controlled demolition hypothesis is rejected by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and by the community of civil engineers, who, after their research, both concluded that th

37、e impacts of jets at high speeds in combination with subsequent fires caused the collapse of both Twin Towers. Long Term Effects Economic aftermath The attacks had a significant economic impact on the United States and world markets .North American air space was closed for several days after the att

38、acks and air travel decreased upon its reopening, leading to nearly a 20% cutback in air travel capacity, and exacerbating financial problems in the struggling U.S. airline industry. Health effects The thousands of tons of toxic debris resulting from the collapse of the Twin Towers consisted of more

39、 than 2,500 contaminants, including known carcinogens. This has led to debilitating illnesses among rescue and recovery workers, which many claim to be directly linked to debris exposure. The first question Ever since September 11 happened in 2001, whole world has been appealing to combat terrorism.

40、 As we can see, people in different country hold very different opinions on the issue how we should combat terrorism. Obviously, Americans think that they can keep them away from terrorism by evanishing all their so-called enemies such as Iraq and Afghanistan, and now both country are under their co

41、ntrol, however, terrorism does not disappear as they have hoped. Contrarily, there seems to be an ever-increasing trend, just leaving countless guiltless people suffering from the war。It is said that about 5451 people died in the disaster of 9.11, while the casualty of common of Iraq has reached mor

42、e than 6087 according to the statistics freshly released by white house. So we should always keep in mind what we are supposed to do and what are not, do not make yourself a terrorist because of your hate of terrorism. In my opinion, in order to combat terrorism, firstly, we should combat all inequa

43、lity and injustice deeply rooted in our society. There are so many people had been and are wrongly and unfairly treated : you are not allowed to sit in some special preservation in a bus just because you are a black, you are forbidden in entering some occupations because you are a black, you do the

44、same job like others while getting lower rewards than others just because you are a black or you are a women .you are turned down again in a job applying because of your age. If all above happened inside a country, then following are among countries: some countries request for illegal rights interfe

45、ring in other countrys national affairs rely on their enormous economic and military power, they suppress and crack down on Muslim countries, separate their people from their religion. Can you believe that all this things happened in a society claimed to be more and more democracy and free? No one w

46、ants to be guilty unless they are forced to be. Now you see， many people are thirsty for equality and justice as you for peace and quite. Giving them what they want, then you will get what you want. The second question In the modern world, peace and development have become two major themes. But some

47、 areas in the world are still involved in wars. Take the ongoing lraq War for example. The war is hurting peoples welfare. So people all over the world pay a lot of attention to these issues. People usually compare wars to disasters. They are right because wars often bring about not only great harm

48、to people but also a lot of waste of wealth. During wartime, peoples lives become so miserable that they dont have enough food to eat and no shelter to live in. And in destroyed cities, the residents find themselves homeless all of a sudden, in addition, if a country wants to win a war, it has to sp

49、end a lot of money on both arms and armed forces. Then there is very little money left to develop its economy. Even if the country wins the war, it is still difficult for it to recover from the damage of the war. In a word, whether the world can develop steadily depends on whether the world is at pe

50、ace. So peace and development are still hot topics in the world. I am sure that the majority of people who love peace will appeal for a world without war. war is not just a matter of two persons or two-family fight. It is related to so many victims interests . As a leader, one must always think for

51、all the people, so will his country be prosperous for always. As a human live in the world, we have the duty and responsibility to against the war and terrorism ,and we have the privilege to seek and enjoy the world peace! People all around the world should unite to fight against the war and hegemon

52、y! In harmony Let us work and unite together hand in hand and should to should, live in a peace and harmony world! That all. Thank you for listening. Enjoy your life. Good bye.
