September 11th 2001 has been etched into the minds of millions worldwide. Etched because it was a defining moment in modern history. This was totally unexpected and un-provoked. It was a day that saw 4 planes come crashing down to a fiery doom. It will be remembered as a day when the US was attacked. A horrible, despicable, cowardly act by Islamic terrorists headed by the mastermind, Osama Bin Ladan himself.
But the law of nature/karma states that what goes around comes around. If you do something to someone, it's likely that they will do something back to you. And that could be said about what happened on that Tuesday morning in September... Actions do cause reactions. The truth is that the US for far too long did both encourage and do terrorist acts that for years that the Western World was oblivious to. For far too long the US caused pain and suffering in the middle east and third world countries. The events of September the 11th 2001, was a direct result of that.
Osama Bin Ladan and his supporters are no angels, but their ideology holds sufficient weight. And to pull off something like that they needed to have a great deal of support and loyalty among many different people. The US claims that Osama Bin Ladan is a Madman who wants to destroy humanity as we know it. If that really is the case he would not have a strong network that he has now. If you ask a kid from any Arab country what he wants to be. He is going to tell you that he wants to be like Osama. He is today the George Washington of the oppressed.
I really feel for the Muslims that have been oppressed for decades because of the US. I think that the USA has become too powerful and too blind that they put their own interests before riotousness. They want to have influence everywhere. And that has already cost them. They know that they should not put military bases in areas that are holy to Muslims. But they still choose to do this. This is the main reason why the Arab world hates the US. This and other stupid US foreign policies has turned the majority in the Middle East into US hatters. Whatever the US does they want to do the opposite.
I have been reading about Osama Bin Ladan for about 8 years now. In 1998 I read in a Readers Digest magazine that was the most wanted man by the CIA and had a $10 million bounty on his head. After that his name was mention quite often after that. But he became gupt after that for some time. Until the September 11 attacks... He was the first person to be blamed for the attacks. It was as if the US state department was just waiting for something to happen, and when something did happened they would blame this guy and send troops after him.
So on September the 11th, I had an English test. The night before I forgot to study for it. I found out in the morning that I was supposed to study for it. So I decided to skip that class. I had cable interned then, and I thought that I would download some kirtan from the internet. I ate some fruits with milk and nuts. Then I went to my brother's room and stated to download some kirtan. Then I thought that I should watch the news. I had a full version of realplayer and started to watch the msnbc network. There was a story about Bush doing a rally or something. I turned up the volume and came to get a drink of water. When I came back real player crashed. I turned it back on and there was a little window showing a huge building being hit by a plane.
It had happened. This was the first plane that hit. It was 9:**am PST when that happened. I was in total shock. Totally in disbelief. I could not believe when was being shown. I thought that this was a prank. I turned on the TV in the family room. And there too there was the same horrifying image. And all channels had stopped regular broadcast and were covering this event.
From the time between the first plane crash to the second one in new York. The impression the reporters gave to the viewer was that this was an accident. That the plane had accidentally crashed into the WTC. But then as the second one and the one that hit the pentagon came to knowledge, it was certain that this was no accident-it was a terrorist act.
That reality would not sink in. I could not believe what had just happened. It took time for me to realize what had just happened. Finally I know that this was planned by someone. Within a few hours reports came to surface that this was an Al-Quida operation led by Osama Bin Ladan. Initially I did not believe that. A man sitting in a cave with no power, no resources, no logistics, few men, a man with no connections, a man cut off from the world could even attempt to do something like this. I was quite skeptical about this whole blame Osama thing. I did not buy this for some reason.
Then the way that the third place crashed in a field looked fishy too. I thought that it was shot down by F-14's. They knew that it was headed towards another target and they wanted to shoot it down before it ever got there. I think some people reported that too, but then they made up a lie that "Oh some guy called his family on his cell phone and told them that he is getting ready to 'roll'..."
First of all when the plane is at cruising altitude cell phones do not work! Where did they get this from? This just proves that the American public takes everything at face value and never bother to critique the "facts".
The next day I went to class and I had a lot to talk about. There was a big discussion about what happened. Israel was discussed. It was me on one side and the teacher and the rest of the class on the other. I took the stand that it was a Jewish conspiracy that they caused it and planted evidence against Osama. The rest of the class said that it was done by no other than the Islamic Terrorists. There were no Muslims in the class, so I decided to defend them. It was really fun. In the end I came out victorious. It was because I had gone to this one site and read all the material there. I think it was this. By the end of the day I had convinced many people in the class that it was indeed a Jewish conspiracy to give Muslims a bad name.
The fallout from this event was bitter. Some Sikhs also felt the heat in the US. A few were killed in cold-blood. The brunt of this was faced by amritdhari singhs.
This one event has changed the 21st century as pearl harbor changed the 20th starting with Afghanistan and Iraq. More is sure yet to come...
