Those who were old enough to remember Sept. 11 vow to never forget what happened that day. But the next generation, it seems, already has-- or never knew to begin with.
When asked by the Young Americas Foundation what caused 9/11, many students at George Mason University in northern Virginia had no clue, gave vague responses, or were just flat out wrong.
When you take this level of ignorance combined with the fact that at many colleges across the country students are now being taught that the US is to blame for 9/11, the next generation may actually grow up believing this to be true. And this in turn will lead to a whole new generation of anti-American leftists.
The blame for this, however, cannot rest solely on the students. It is the responsibility of the countrys education system, the media, and parents to teach kids American historypast and present.
College Students Totally Clueless About Why US Attacked on 9/11 (Paultards?)
Answer: The US federal government allowed all 19 terrorists to enjoy life in the USA without valid visas or reporting methods. Indeed, the US federal government paid some of them to come to the USA to train in USA flight schools so that they could later perform their dastardly deeds. Yep, 9/11 was fully encouraged by the US Government.
Just like illegal immigration is still encouraged to this very day.
It was part of the continuing global war against the infidels.
It was quite a bonus that they could attack the chief infidels directly.
Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
The funniest comment was "because Bush did something bad."

College Students Totally Clueless About [stick an anything here]
I bet they know who won what in college ball or the Grammy's or who is sleeping with whom as celbs.
Most of the kids under 25 probably never heard of 911 other than it was bush's fault by Michael Moran even though bush had only been in office less than a year. If they wanted to blame a president blame Clinton!
Before anyone gets too cocky, why were we in Viet Nam? Korea?
It was part of the policy of dealing with Soviet Communism through containment. Korea was first,then Vietnam.

"What motive do you think kids should be taught was behind these events?"
The real one. The Arab world hates the Jews and their treatment of the Palestinians and believe Israel wouldn't exist except for the financial support and protection of the United States. Meaning they hate the U.S. and want us out of the Mideast.
This isn't being taught for obvious reasons. Plus, testimony to that effect was kept out of the official 9/11 Commission Report.
Yeah, because as everyone knows, the Soviet Union just got stronger and stronger and the Berlin wall was built even taller.

The USA has about 20 TRILLION dollars in debt because of failed US foreign intervention policies. No US citizen shall ever see the USA pay down this burden for centuries to come.

Containment of communism was the stated reason.
IMHO, the real objective was to weaken the U.S. by draining us of blood, treasure, and our will, bog us down in unwinnable wars, and divide us politically internally.
To establish the NWO and to get the US involved, the US had to be broken down. At the conclusion of WWII, the US was the lone superpower. Being the superpower, not likely the US would go along with the NWO. So, the US had to be weakened. Both of those wars were steps in that process.

Boy, you get a shitload of mileage out of the national debt. Just a few days ago you blamed the entire debt on uncontrollable FBI spending. Today the debt was caused by the Cold War. lol
I'm the infidel... Allah warned you about. كافر المسلح
Yep, all the alphabet soup agencies of the US federal government has lead to America's decline. There is not one positive perspective about their respective value to America other than their requirements to drag US taxpayers into perpetual tax debt while the US sovereign border is completely neglected with the exception that US Presidential candidates welcome illegals with open arms and a kiss.
The US bureaucratic infrastructure is destroying the USA. The priorities have shifted to world cop as opposed to our own nation; 9/11 is just one symptom. Retired cops after twenty years of doughnut munching and koffee slurping is another.

I'm not a fan of those over powered, over paid, over staffed federal police agencies either, Buckster... but they are probably busy watching people like you. lol

If you read some of what are now considered "old right" folks like Robert Taft and George Malone during the early years of the cold war you find warnings about that. Even guys like Eisenhower and Keenan had an idea of the danger, and some of the air power advocates like LeMay and deSeversky warned about the danger in matching the USSR across the board in military capability. They seemed to have an idea of strategy, rather than just throwing resources at a problem.

NAW ... they get more doughnuts & koffee than anyone else, including retired school crossguards. They just put the expense on their tax payer charge card whereas you just walked in the doughnut shop and the local Vietnamese worker was afrain you would turn them in.

The US embassy raid in Iran was because Carter gave sanctuary to the former Shah who was installed by US covert operations. This man was wanted for crimes against humanity allegedly committed against the Iranian people by him during his reign.
Of course that was never mentioned in the US news at the time. Americans were just left with the impression that the Iranians were just mean, American haters, and Iranians have been an evil people ever since.
former Shah who was installed by US covert operations
I might know you would respond with some ancient conspiretard bullshit. He came to power in Iran in 1941, and was in a long line of secular kings. But I don't want to go into all that crap. I was in college during that time, and knew a number of Iranian students. While many were critical of the Shah, I didn't know any who were eager to return to the Muzzie Iranian society after the Shah was ousted by the the Muzzie Theocrats (especially the women).
