Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: It's not very often that im lost for words- but i was that day. I know that not being there i cant even begin to imagine the full extent of the horror but on September 11th I was affected, really affected. In Britain we keep a very close alliance with America and a lot of Briton's worked in the trade towers that day- so on 9/11 your loss was ours- we were utterly devastated. I have never been the hating type of person but i cant desbribe how much i hate the people that were behind these unforgivable acts. Life seems so unfair- all the innocent suffer and after that day i seriously doubted my faith in God. I was asking the typical questions, you know, like "Why would something like this be allowed to happen?". In my teen's i remember reading an autobiography about a young girl's survival in a concentration camp in the 2nd world war. One particular part stuck out in my mind- young childen walked past her in 'role call', crying and hugging teddies and looking at her pleadingly for help- they were being sent to the gas chambers and one officer walked right up to her, with the knowledge that she was a devout catholic and said "Where's your God now?" On September 11th and days, even weeks after i did ask where God was and have never really known the answer- It just im so angry that this ever happened. A year on and im still bitter. Osama Bin Laden and all his followers make me sick- hide in caves and get protection from others like the cowards they are- get other people to do their dirty work. I hope and pray that one day, in some way, those people will experience justice in the worst way imaginable because its no less than what they deserve. They have absolutely destroyed people's lives. Families are now incomplete. Children without parents, wife's without husbands, Father's without son's- and the list goes on. It's so frustrating knowing that evil bastards like bin laden and the taliban are still at large in the world and you are totally powerless to stop them.May God have mercy on them because we wont. I cannot put into words how deeply deeply sorry i am for the people who lost their lives that day, on the four flights, the pentagon, and the towers. All my love goes out to you and your families.The people of Britain are right behind you.xxx Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
