With the U.S.-led bombing campaign on Afghanistan, there has always been more and more concern about civilians being caught in the middle. Indeed, by early December 2001, some 3,500 Afghan civilians were believed to have been killed by U.S. bombing. Furthermore, many aid agencies criticized the food and aid donors for not dropping enough help while this situation happened. One of the biggest fears, is that violence can result in retaliated violence and can lead to bigger problems. Because of this, civilians are affected on both sides of these wars. Going to war can turn into a never ending process for both sides. Violence is going to lead to even more violence and it can extend it and takes lives of many people even the citizens and civilians of the country. The thing about violence is that its a descending spiral and it goes on for so long that it forgets its main purpose it was set out to destroy. Instead of this madness getting demolished, the violence multiplies and it doesn't only affect the soldiers. It affects the civilians, and the families of the soldiers that been waiting for their son/daughter, etc. to finally come home. Darkness can not drive out darkness just like two wrongs dont make a right. Hate can not drive out hate, only love and embracement can do that.
As a result from the United States using their armed forces, Al-Qaeda training camps were destroyed and the plan made by the Taliban were disrupted. In September 2004, the U.S. Government commission investigating the September 11 attacks officially concluded that the attacks were conceived and implemented by Al-Qaeda operatives. In October 2004, bin Laden appeared to claim responsibility for the attacks in a videotape released through "Al Jazeera", saying he was inspired by Israeli attacks on high-rises in the 1982 invasion of Lebanon. By the end of 2004, the U.S. Government proclaimed that two-thirds of the senior Al-Qaeda members from 2001 had been captured and interrogated by the CIA.
Ventura stated: "How could this building just implode into its own footprint five hours later? That's my first question. The 9/11 Commission didn't even devote one page to that in their big volume of investigation." He also states that the Twin Towers appeared to be pulverized by the dust, that they fell at virtually free-fall speed, and that no other massive steel-framed buildings had ever collapsed in this manner due to the fire before. On May 8, 2009, when asked by Sean Hannity of Fox News, how George W. Bush could have avoided the attacks of September 11, 2001. Ventura answered, "Well, you pay attention to memos on August 6th that tell you exactly what Osama Bin Laden is going to do." 
Seventeen sailors were killed and thirty-nine others were injured in the explosion. The injured sailors were taken to the United States Army's "Landstuhl Regional Medical Center" near Ramstein, Germany and later, back to the United States. The attack was the deadliest against a U.S. naval vessel since the Iraqui attack on the USS Stark. This issue was taken to the court and the U.S. Government claimed that Al Qaeda could not have done this without the help of the Sudanese Government. On Jule 25, 2007, the court ordered the Sudanese government to pay $8 million dollars to the family of the seventeen sailors who died. To save the thirty-nine that were injured, Marines flew in towards the ship to get the surviving sailors out. 
In response to the bombings, U.S. President Bill Clinton ordered for Operation Infinite Reach, a series of cruise missile strikes on targets in Sudan and Afghanistan on August 20, 1998, announcing the planned strike on a primetime address on television. Investigations were conducted about the embassy bombings by the FBI and Kenyan and Tanzanian authorities. A list of suspects were made and the men were charged for the involvement in the bombings. The embassies were heavily damaged and the one in Nairobi, Kenya had to be rebuilt. In a telephone message relayed by his ally, Ayman Zawahiri, the fugitive leader of Egypt's Jihad organization, Osama Bin Laden warned: "The war has just started and the Americans should wait for an answer. Tell the Americans that we aren't afraid of bombardment, threats and acts of aggression. We suffered and survived Soviet bombings for 10 years in Afghanistan and we are ready for more sacrifices."
