The word papyrus refers both to the writing support invented by the ancient Egyptians (35.9.19a–e ), and the plant from which they made this material. Excavators of a tomb at Saqqara discovered the earliest known roll of papyrus , dated to around 2900 B.C., and papyrus continued to be used until the eleventh century A.D. even as paper, invented in China , became the most popular writing material for the Arab world around the eighth century A.D. In ancient Egypt , texts could be written on papyrus in hieroglyphs, hieratic script, or Demotic script, and later papyrus was used in Greek (09.182.50 ), Coptic, Latin, Aramaic, and Arabic documents. With minor variations, the papyrus roll was produced essentially the same way throughout its approximately 4,000-year history. In addition to its function as a material for writing, papyrus was used in rope, basketry, sandals (10.184.1a,b ), and other everyday items.
President Bush was referring to the<em> terrorist attack to the World Trade Center twin towers on 09/11/2001</em><em>, </em>in which 4 airplanes filled with civilian passengers kidnapped by a total of 19 terrorists were intentionally led to collide with strategically important commercial and governmental buildings.
The first 2 planes were led to hit each of the twin towers, which caused them to fully collapse 2 hours after the impact. The third hit the Pentagon, and the forth was unsuccessful due to an attempt of retaking control by passengers and crew members. It was on its way to Washington DC when it fell at an open field close to Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
None of the passengers on board of the planes survived, and the total deaths count reaches close to 3000, among which citizens of more than 70 different nations.
The attacks were claimed by the terrorist islamic organization Al-Qaeda led and found by the infamous terrorist Osama bin Laden, at the time. The US immediate international course of action was the launch of the War on Terror (a.k.a. Global War on Terrorism) started by an invasion to Afganistan, in order to take down the Taliban (group that was harboring the Al-Qaeda terrorists in the country). Along with the war, the US approved the <em>USA Patriot Act</em>, as a domestic act, which allows the government, among other things, to intercept phone calls and e-mails between organizations and people (american or foreign) with suspicion to be somehow related to terrorism, without any need of Justice approval. Many other great nations also reinforced their antiterrorist legislation and expanded the law reach towards the matter.

The Weimar Republic was created at a time of confusion and chaos after Germany had lost World War One. People were starving, the Kaiser had fled and the new Republic got off to a troubled start for two reasons:
Many Germans hated the government for signing the armistice in November 1918 - they called them the November criminals. The defeat in the war came as a huge surprise to the German people, which led to a theory that the brave German army had been ‘stabbed in the back’ by the politicians.
Many Germans felt their country had received a very harsh deal in the Treaty of Versailles. They resented the government for agreeing to its conditions and signing it, even though they were forced to by the Allies.
The Weimar Republic's unpopularity meant it faced violent uprisings from both sides of the political spectrum during 1919 and 1920.
