Discussion Question Thread

Here's your chance to write a blog post for others to comment on and discuss...

Each of you must submit one discussion question on any topic or subject relevant to the book. Your post can be a question about the events of 9/11, the background on Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda, the recommendations of the report, the book itself (such as the artwork, layout or dialog). It can ask the students to share their opinion or identify their favorite or most interesting parts of the book.

The questions should all be "open-ended" in the sense that they should not require specific or one word answers. Make it the kind of question that might spark a discussion.

I will choose a couple of the questions from the comment thread and make them into blog posts for others to respond.

    Whats your opinions on 9/11?
    Do you put the blame entirely on Iraq and the other countries, or do you think america deserves some of the blame?

    As you read the book you figure out President Bush didn't find out till basicaly last cause he was at the Emma E. Booker Elementary School to do a reading and talk on education. my question why wasnt he told right away when it happened he should have known right away. Another question is how could the secrety people at the airports not catch the metal of the knives and guns( or what killing device they had)? I ask myself why would they not catch something like that, it has so much metal it should have went off. Did they even see anything suspiious about the guys boarding the commerical airplanes?

    Is there a way to do something to planes so if a plane ever gets hijaked again, someone in the conrtol room on land could push a button, put the plane on auto pilot and make it turn around and land back at the air port safely?

    why do you think they pickied the date 9/11? they could have picked any day later that year or the next year. also if the could not hae gotten on th planes with what they need, do you think they would have waiting for another time or just tryed to do it the same day?
