25 Years On, Extremism Tops U.S. Concerns
Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks, polls indicate that American concerns about the country's safety are increasingly shifting toward domestic threats, with 33% of respondents believing that internal terrorism poses the greatest threat, compared to 20% who view external terrorism as the primary danger. The survey also revealed that six out of ten Americans support a military response in the event of a major terrorist attack, despite their opposition to domestic surveillance, particularly the monitoring of communications without a court order. Additionally, the results showed a decline in support for the wars that followed the 9/11 attacks, with about half of Americans opposing the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, while support for tightening airport security measures has grown. It is noted that Americans believe the 9/11 attacks had a significant impact on the country, with more than 60% expressing ongoing concern about the threat posed by local extremists, considering these threats today a top priority over external dangers.
