Anthrax

            
             The threat of a terrorist attack of any kind in America at this point and time seems very unrealistic. Should we let our guard down? Even though nothing has happened in the last several months regarding terrorism in America. The last few months in the Middle East unfortunately has been chaos. Are the Palestinians planning something big against America or could it be some of Americans own citizens to perform the next act of major terrorism? We as Americans should still fear the threat of any kind of terrorism that me be brought before us.
             America has been a target with terrorism ever since our political involvement with the Middle East. The United States has had involvement with the Middle East ever since the Gulf War in the early 1990's. The United States became more involved in the happenings in the Middle East when the Palestinian Liberation Organization (P.L.O.) was recognized. The P.L.O. is an organization that was developed to help the Palestinians try to recover land that they lost when the country of Israel was established in 1948.
             America soon became allies with Israel, because America felt like the Palestinian countries were being a threat to the people of Israel. Which in terms is the major reason Americans and Jews are hated and despised by a majority of Palestinians. There is even an extreme an Afghanistan terrorist group called the Al Qaeda which whom Osama Bin Laden is believed to be in leadership of. The extreme terrorist group has training camps to teach kids as young as 14 years old how to use guns, bombs, and different types of weapons of mass destruction. These kids are even taught to hate Americans and Jews. .
             On September 11, 2001 two planes crashed into the World Trade Centers in New York City. This has been the one of the only major attacks on United States soil. Some things that transpired after the attack were a higher security alert for terrorists in America, a higher degree of patriotism, and one of the most major biological warfare substances in the world called anthrax.
