Consider the following questions:
1) What is the War on Terrorism?
2) What events historically led up to it? How far back could/should we go?
3) Both major parties say of terrorists that "they hate us for our freedom". How likely is this as being true? Is there any evidence to support that stance? Who are they (Al Qaeda)?
4) Are there other reasons for the attacks besides supposed hatred of freedom? If so, what might these reasons be? How have the enemy, or they, defined these attacks?
5) How do we know what we think we know and why are certain stories selected for telling over others (the creation of official narratives vs. vernacular ones)?
