Basics of war, even from ancient times, interrupt the enemies resources and watch them crumble.

America is the biggest superpower in the world. The rest of the world follows America and whatever happens in America effects the reat of the world. I live in England and we have had a really good economy for years now. The pound was strong, the housing market excellent. Even before the terriost attacks we had a good economy but what has happened with the american economy in the past year has affected our economy. So in a way it is all connected. I am currently doing research on this topic and anyone with some different views would be helpful for me. I think that the attacks have had a diverse affect on the world’s economy.

I don't think we can blame the terrorists for everything, but I think it's safe to say they contributed to financial uneasiness in America.

We were coming off of the most profitable decade in history in terms of stock market and real estate gains, and the uncontrollable growth had to correct itself. It began to, and then not too long after, we just happened to have 9/11, which accelerated the "corrective" action that the government took. This probably would have happened anyway, but not in such a short amount of time. The drastic measures that were taken as a result just made money even easier to get relatively close to the top of the market, so people had money to blow in real estate and the like. So, did the terrorists cause the housing mess? No, but their timing with the current state the of the economy, combined with the measures the government needed to take to right the ship didn't help either.

That way the terrorists don't win! Um, what? I don't think any sort of deep thought went into the attack, other than about flying an airplane into buildings.
