First sentence: The destructive power of the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, the two prime symbols of American economy and power, plus the failed attempt to strike the White House (or another prime target) by a fourth passenger jet, generated the media image of unthinkable madness, the outrageous blasphemy involved in attacking highly revered symbols, and the willingness to engage in self-sacrifice, in addition to the killing of roughly three thousand innocent individuals of differing nationalities and religions.
