America's Breakable Incrustation
The calamity of September 11th were not random acts of evil, rather they were calculated attacks on the attitudes that every American held prior to September 11th including myself. My lack of knowledge on American foreign policy proceeding to the measures of September 11th underscore, in my understanding, why the attacks occurred in the first place. The destruction on September 11th, 2001 symbolized Americans paramount inaction in receptive to not only the symptoms of the terrorist organizations, but the very reason why they are created. The values that Americans hold dear have negative consequences which must be presented in our discussion to fully understand the initiative of September 11th. America's individualistic culture has formed, on some levels, an international- anti American sentiment embraced by less fortunate citizens of country's to which we have influenced negatively. If there isn't change, September 11th could be a prelude to similar or worse acts of violence on the United States. Though American culture might have its flaws, the fundamentals of democracy and the prosperity that stems from democracy as a heuristic can be more accurately re-embraced by Americans as well as the international community.
Don't get deceived by my ideas of America's culture, it's a superb country to live in. To a great extent, Americans have a respectable sense of decorum which allows us to live in a free democracy. We are an individualistic country and each American has equal rights. Now, with all these great attributes comes manipulation by terrorist groups all over the world, especially those living in the Middle East. America is last great super power in the world and the wealthiest of them all; and having Israel as one of its great allies in the Middle East tends to create a catastrophe for America. Each year the U.S. gives about 5 billion dollars in financial aid to Israel, in which more 4 billion of it goes to military provisions. Basically by funding Israel with its necessities, it's creating a message to the Arabs and Palestinians saying "If you mess with Israel you're messing with the U.S.". America's relationship with Israel is not altruistic in nature. America doesn't really feel sympathy for the Jews living in Israel that migrated their after the Holocaust, but has a relationship with Israel more so to form a geographic political leverage in the Middle East. Another example of the U.S. making an ally for their own interest was when Iraq invaded Kuwait in the Gulf War. The U.S. either could have defended Iraq or Kuwait considering both sides had abundance of oil, but Iraq back then was more of a dictatorship and more militant where as Kuwait was more peaceful. Also since there is a finite amount of oil, America was more than happy to make peace with Kuwait for its own interest. Repeatedly we hear of bombings in Israel
