Now that you have read both the Challenge Editorial and Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz’s introduction, answer the following question:
How is Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz’s definition of terrorism so different from the way we are taught to understand terrorism after 9/11?
According to Ortiz, why would we call the corporations that controlled the World Trade Center the original and true terrorists?
How has the US ruling class instituted a policy of terrorism since the founding of the colonies in British North America?
Do you agree with the Challenge editorial’s assertion that the US ruling class indeed created the conditions that led to the 9/11 attack?
Did anyone “benefit” from the effects of 9/11?
How is your own response to 9/11 after seeing the news footage impacted when you read the 2 readings that accompany this module?
Give specific examples of the points that are made in both readings–quote from them—in your discussion posts
