 * Questions:**

1. A truck exploded in front of the Alfred P. Murrah Building in Oklahoma City on April 19th, 1995. A citizen from our own country, Timothy McVeigh, placed bombs in it. He killed 168 people on that day. At first they tried to blame it on terrorists. They didn't want to suspect any of their own people.

2. On September 11th, 2001, two airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center, due to a terrorist attack. Many people still think that this is a hoax, done by our government, but even I have trouble believing that our government would stoop that low and kill so many people, just to have us start a war. 2,999 people were killed.

3. One of the reasons given for terrorists attacking the Twin Towers is that The Twin Towers were an accomplishment for us. They wanted to destroy one of our federal buildings.

4. Three accomplishments of the presidency of Bill Clinton were these: Bill Clinton wanted to create the Clinton Foundation Climate Change Initiative (CCI). He got into a partnership with the Large Cities Climate Leadership Group in 2006, agreeing to provide resources to allow the participating cities to enter into an energy-saving product purchasing consortium and to provide technical and communications support.

5. President Bush reduced and is working to ultimately eliminate the estate tax for family farms and ranches. He requires states to conduct criminal background checks on prospective foster and adoptive parents. He successfully executed two wars in the aftermath of 9/11 (Afghanistan and Iraq). 50 million people who had lived under tyrannical regimes now live in freedom.

6. George Bush beat Al Gore in the election in 2000. There was a controversy over who won Florida's 25 electoral votes. There was a recount of the votes from Florida.
