Conclusion
The bombing of the World Trade Center marks a turning
point in the United States' confrontation with terrorist
organizations. Previously, American citizens overseas have
been targets of terror groups, particularly Middle Eastern
ones, leaving U.S. territory virtually unscathed - until
now. The challenge to the United States and other countries
which face this threat is twofold. It must protect the
security of its citizens from terrorists who abuse the
rights granted to them in a free society. At the same time
it must preserve those same rights which democratic nations
cherish.
