What hapend to the twin towers and why?

There was a terrorist attack. Osama bin laden hired suicide bombers to hijack several planes and crash them into various American landmarks. Two of the planes hit the twin towers and that was the site of the worst damage. The reason it happened is because bin laden was an extremist and thought that anyone who wasn't Muslim should be killed.


Who planned the 9 11 terrorist attack?

Its still not claimed by anyone, but however there is a doubtable chance that is done by the US government according to Polls conducted in the US. Lets say its Bin Laden until the day comes that G W Bush says Sorry I did it. George W. bush did it all and planned every second of it. He is a traitor to his family and his country. He sould be burned and killed with forks. I laugh at his jokes and i depressed because my wife left me last night o im taking it out on wiki answers and on everything i see in my path except for mmy ovely labtop.

Where does the us get most of its crude oil?

I jumped over to the Department of Energy's website to take a look at what they have to say about this matter, and it turns out that they have some great information about the matter. I guess that I should have thought of this before, but I guess I have been too preoccupied figuring out which gas station I should boycott. They thinking that "most" of our oil comes from the middle east is wrong. Sorry people...keep boycotting Citgo if you must, but I am here to tell you that THESE are the top ten countries that the U.S. imports from: 1. Canada2. Mexico3. Saudi Arabia4. Venezuela5. Nigeria6. Angola7. Iraq8. Algeria9. United Kingdom10. Brazil=====Uh the Saudis are related to Osama bin Laden, the Nigerians are laden with rebels and extremist Muslims who would gladly give their lives to Allah to kill an American. Algeria is in a state of revolt, and also filled with the extremists. Mexico is battling drug cartels for control of their own country. That leaves three stable countries here folks! Who cares where we get it from. There is more to things than the media probably leads on anywho!
