No, I dont know anyone in the 9/11 tragedy...but when I heard aobut it, I was freaked out, but I was still a naive kid, but I wasnt screaming 'Mommy! Mommy!' I was in school when it happened (I think) and I had no idea until I got home when my mom told me. I wasnt too concerned...until now after I watched Farenheit 9/11 (really cool movie) and saw Bush's reaction to it, which got me against him. I mean, he's our leader and when some dude next to him says 'The nation's under attack', he does nothing except read to the little 1st graders. My point being: I HATE BUSH! and that I was freaked out about 9/11 :P

I agree 100%.\n\nI was living just outside Philadelphia when 9/11 happened.  I had several friends and family members in NYC - one of which we lost (a 30 year old brother in law who was giving a speech on the top floor of the building at a conference).  It was only a stroke of luck that kept my own husband out of NYC that day.\n\nAt that point we got a glimpse of the kind of horror that the civilians in the middle east have been suffering - explosions in restaurants, schools, hospitals, temples - it is mind numbing.  I caught my heart in my throat for weeks after 9/11 everytime I heard an airplane or helicopter over head (we lived near and Air Force base).  I have little children of my own - and my heart goes out to the families that must live through the violence.\n\nWhat is so upsetting to me about the war in Iraq is that it feels unnecessary to me.  We stormed into Afghanistan, hot on the heels of those who had done us wrong and liberated a community that had been terrorized by the Taliban for years.  We had reacted to tragedy decisively and with class - in myopinion - helping others along the way.  It felt great to be American.\n\nThen this stuff with Iraq -  I mean, lots of people say that Saddam Hussein is a terrible man, and that maybe.  But we don't really have a right to bomb the crap out of another country (out of another group of people) just because their leader doesn't do things as we do, do we?  The war on Terror had become a horror.  I watched, dumbfounded, as we bombed the living daylight out of that civilization.\n\nIf we feel that we have a right to bomb other because we disagree with their leaders, then we are being repaid in kind when they bomb us because they don't agree with ours.

Uh, a Boeing DID  crash into the Pentagon.  My sisters' friend's uncle had just left that part of the Pentagon to get coffee (or something) when the plane hit.  He's was lucky.

do you think BinLaden is alive? Do you believe in the existance of AlQaada? and moreover do u think that BinLaden did the 11-9 attacks alone with no inside player?!! Who killed JFK? Did Holucost happen? Did Iraq own Nuclear weapons? Who killed Harere in Lebanon? Did Arafat died or poisened? .. if you can answer these qutions then you can answer yours.. History is the distorted virsion of reality.. "The winner has the right to say whatever he wants"Hitler said ;O)

About two weeks after the 911 attack, I was watching on the news that most people that even LOOKED like muslims were being arrested for practically no reason at all. That´s on the police´s side, but on the civilians side of the story, New Yorkers, for example, went out to the streets and beated down anyone that resembled muslim walking on the street, and in their houses, they broke their windows, and smashed the windshields on their cars. and things of that sort.

let's begin at the beginning.  how about a REAL investigation into 9/11? stuff like ... how is it the Bin Laden family was flown out the USA (while all other planes were grounded) BEFORE they were interviewed by investigators?  and why wasn't vital info concerning the Saudi hijackers demanded from the Saudis by GW Bush?  and what were those Mossad agents doing on a roof top (besides dancing) as the Twin Towers fell?\n\nyou know.  stuff like that.  i'm just curious.

At work, like most Americans that day, A buddy stopped in the shop and asked if we knew what was going on,,,,,,From there, the atmosphere just fell apart.....We where all ,as you said, shocked, and in disbelief. Pissed and terrified at the same time. I will never forget that day. It has shaped me into a different and better person ever since.

Still a little in shock and such over the event. I was at my school (high school at the time) waiting for a class to start. The class clown of our grade, Sean, walked in saying his dad just called and said something about [I don't remember what he said exactly]. We all told him stop kidding. We then got the announcement over the PA of what had happened. I think at that time both towers were hit. We got to go home early. My dad worked in NYC but nowhere near there. As for people who passed on, a co-worker of my dad's wife was in one of the tower's on one of the floors that was directly hit. Her name is Laura Longing.

I was sitting in a dark room (I think it was my childhood home) with my head in my hands hearing bombs explode outside, knowing that I was going to die and waiting for a bomb to hit me. I could hear them getting closer...closer...\n\nI woke up really scared. Then I had the horrible realization that there are people in the world who are actually living that nightmare. (I'm not saying that to make some sort of statement; I really did have that dream)

If 9/11 was what many suspect it to have been,then the Axe needs to fall.  It rarely does, however, as we seem to be cursed with the JFK syndrome of believing the public can't stand to hear the truth.  Those that run things have a cynical view of humanity, and they don't seem to care about us at all.

Well, if the first one was 9/11, then they're way overdue.  911 days after 9/11/2001 was 3/10/2004.  Nothing of note involving Al Queda happend on that date that I can find.\n\nThe next dates in that cycle are:\n\n9/7/2006\n3/6/2009\n9/3/2011\n\nJust have to wait and see...

The terrorists who piloted planes into the World Trade Centers and Pentagon, and the other flight that was hijacked and crashed...horrible senseless deaths plus all the destruction and devastation of the families affected. Thousands of people killed, hundreds of thousands scarred emotionally. Evil in its most hideous form.

If it was an Arab who lives in the States I would ask them how their life has changed since 9/11.  Like have they been treated differently, what is that like and how have they coped.

You know, I wonder how many people actually pay attention to history.  It's been this way since the beginning of time.  Humans are just horrible.  Nobody made the Muslims the threat, they made themselves the threat.  Sorry, but we didn't just make a movie about 9/11.  It really happened.  People really died.  Do you watch the news?  Very few countries in the world aren't fighting some kind of war.  We don't have to make up any kind of controversy.

my dad was in Nam. i am old enough to remember the way he was before he went. he was never the same. i also remember how he was treated when he returned. i remember how many American died. a sad day in human history. i hope it never happens again. but knowing human nature it will.
