When I heard about the 9-11 attacks, I was surfing the web.
One of my friends hat told me that a plane had went into the
Pentagon. I thought that she was lying until I turned on the
news, and saw them replaying the planes hitting the WTC. I
couldn't, and still really can't grasp the concept that some
one could hate a group of people enough to take so many
innocent lives. It stills seems like a movie to me, it's
just to real to be real. I've always had a fear of flying,
after 9-11 it only got worse. Although I am still scare that
these attacks were just the beginning I refuse to let
someones hate for my nation dictate how I live. I'm worried
because my brother is in the Army and he is being sent out
to Bosnia. The question to me is no longer, "Where is Osama
Bin Laden and the Taliban soldiers", but what are we going to
do IF we find them. We can't punish them a little, nor alot.
If we punish them a little then the U.S citizens will call for
another war. If we are harsh with the punishment than there will
be more acts of terrorism on the U.S in honor of Bin Laden and
his soldiers. Sept. 11 (9-11) was truly a "911" call for us as
Americans to realize that there isn't a real right answers. For
every action( good or bad) there will be a reaction. We can't do
nothing, but it impossible for us to do everything to prevent
this again.
