Question 1: How was your topic affected by 9/11? Click edit, post the power paragraph for question 1. The attack of 911 called into question our relationship with all of our allies. First, the Isralies are always monitoring the Middle Eastern countries for there own security which could mean they overheard something about this plot. Also the 19 people that hijacked the planes, 15 were from Saudi Arabia, another ally (Shuster). Pakistan had diplomatic relationships with Al-Qaida which also raised the question, did they know of this attack? These are the reasons why we are questioning our relationships with our aliies.

If there was suspicion that the Pakistan and Saudi Arabian Goverments knew about this plot, that is going to make the U.S ponder to what extent can we trust them? Pakistan's intelligence service, the ISI, had firm links in Al- Qaeda and also was very close with the Taliban (Shuster). Further more, Osama Bin Laden was found in Pakistan. For Saudi Arabia after we had a man named Zubayda in custody, 4 other men named Zubayda died in bizarre circumstances (Shuster). Also the hijackers received money when they got to the U.S through the Saudi Arabia Embassy, therefore the Saudi's had a relationship with the hijackers. This is why we are not sure we can trust our allies.

This has made our country stronger because we reevalulated how much we trust our allies. It has made our intelligence progams work harder,not depend so much on our allies, and take all information into consideration. As of result, we have thwarted 19 attacks (Carafano,Ph.D). The US has transitioned into a more aware country and has kept us safer since 911
