Junior Theme the Infamous

Last Thursday I finally settled on a topic: Why did 9/11 happen? My largest source is the book The Looming Tower. I'm about 15 pages in but so far it's an interesting read that seems a promising mine of useful information. I've also picked up afew smaller sources by writers Mr. O'Connor told me to look into. After today's discussion about non-textual sources I decided to watch Charlie Wilson's War. I remember at the very end Tom Hanks pleaded to the U.S. government to fund and education system in Afghanistan but his request was denied. Because of this the middle east was left only with the rubble remaining from the Russian attacks and no means for the people to rebuild their lives. Progress is being made slowly but surely. Goodluck to all my AIS fellows suffering the notorious JT.
