Formerly a large world trading center in the middle of Mannhatan, New York. Often times these towers had been used to give a sense of patriotism to those who dwell in the city. On September 11, 2001, planes, hijacked by terrorists, crashed into these towers and destroyed them, leading to the loss of about 3000 innocent lives. This major world event has sparked an ongoing political debate on fear of Islam; whether it is rational to fear an ongoing spread of terrorism or whether the event is being exploited by the U.S. government. Right-wingers pick the former, claiming that the war in Afghanistan and Iraq are justified for preventive security reasons and the removal of potentially dangerous tyrannical dictators. Left wingers claim that the war is nothing but an attempt to gain more oil, and that the Bush administration is corrupt. Some also claim that 9/11 was a conspiracy by the U.S. government.
