After the Red Scare many Americans had become afraid of alien citizens and some even went as far as to hurt and shun them out of our world. The same thing happened following 9/11; after the attacks many Americans had become petrified of and began to harass and put out hate crimes against South
After a terrorist attack of any kind there are always consequences that must be faced. Sometimes the point of the terrorist attacks is because the organization wished to send a message or to influence policy in their favor.

A big amount of the USA's budget was spent on the strengthening of the army and weapons to protect its citizens and also to help other states.
Imagine running through the streets observing people weep and yell, the twin towers perish before them. Every ten seconds another horn beeps loudly to get the attention of those that are in a trance.
