Introduction:

The world is experiencing the twenty-second anniversary of one of the most significant global events in American political history . The event that caused 19 terrorists belonging to Al-Qaeda to destabilize the prevailing image of American supremacy, shaking it to its core and demonstrating that even the most formidable military, economic, and security powers can be vulnerable to acts of terrorism. At a time when the United States held the reins of all international policies, it woke up to the shock of four planes hitting three of its landmarks in different parts of the country within a few minutes between each strike. The first strike on the North Tower of the World Trade Center occurred at 8:46 AM, while the strike on the South Tower came immediately after that at 9:03 AM. Then, at 9:37 AM, the Pentagon hit the US Department of Defense, while the fourth plane crashed in a forest in the state of Pennsylvania , allegedly intended to target the headquarters of the House and Senate in Washington .

Andrew Cord, the White House Chief of Staff, used the phrase "America is under attack" to depict the scale of the sudden upheaval that gripped the nation within moments . In just two hours, the United States witnessed the loss of nearly three thousand lives , alongside the tragic collapse of the iconic Twin Towers, and the destruction of the western side of the US Department of Defense building . These were not just the losses caused by the incident, but its repercussions cast shadows on the sovereignty of many countries, destroying the lives of innocents and depriving thousands of their most basic right, which is "life." Unexpectedly, this became the winning card for the United States, allowing it to justify all its actions under the pretext of revenge, disregarding all its claims of democracy, freedom, and human rights.
