what do u think about 911?

Answer 1

On 9-11 my soul crumbled in unison with the towers of my beloved city...
I tried to re-assemble myself as I was before this madness.

And from deep inside the confines of my heart emerged an enraged echo...
That I cannot quiet.

Continue on, they say...
Do not let it destroy our way of life.

So I stumble through the day, not really seeing what is in front of me...
Trying to ignore the roaring rage so rarely heard...
It doesn't even sound like me.

And so I go about my day, my face a mask of calm...
The fury more persistent but less noticeable somehow...
Like an industrial droning that is constantly throbbing.
Or is it the beat of my heart?

I lie awake, images rolling through my mind...
It's like I am searching for something I have forgotten...
I make a mental checklist to find the piece of me that is missing.

I know I must find it. . .
it is important.
I know it is important.

Answer 2

I think there are still too many unanswered questions to reach an intelligent judgement at this time. Is it a coincidence that Bush's brother was the presiding officer in charge of the company that handled security for the World Trade Center and the Pentagon??? Did the Bush's ever really cut ties with their long time ally, Osama??? I don't know the answers to these; but, they are a reasonable doubts..preventing me from reaching a conclusion as of yet.

Answer 3

911 as in the emergency # or 9/11 as in september 11th?

Answer 4

9/11 is more than anything a terrible personal tragedy for the people affected. It is a direct challenge to peace and morality, civilization, and to America as a nation.

It is also a wake-up call in an incredible number of ways -- on believing that we are immmune to the world's problems, on the competence of our intelligence services, on how the world looks at America, on airplane safety, even on skyscraper building design.

It's amazing how fast America recovered economically and in spirit. Today people go about their lives almost the same as before, only with a little more pessimism about world events and with a greater toleration for government intrusion into their lives -- plus of course a huge federal deficit caused by our response to terrorism.

Unfortunately, I do not believe we have met the challenge well. We have spent an incredible amount of money on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan without gaining the results we wanted, still failed to bring the perpetrators to justice, lost much of our military and political power (when the world initially came together for us and supported us).

Also, the laws adopted and Administration conduct since 9/11 run completely against our ideals of justice, fairness, openness, and democracy. America is still one of the most free, if not the most free, nation on Earth, but it is still troubling to see how much of that freedom we are willing to give up in the name of stafety. History teaches that when you give up your freedom in the name of safety, you are neither free nor safe. Just vulnerable.

As bad as it was, 9/11 is nothing compared to the things that other countries have dealt with. I'm afraid that if we ever have to deal with another total war, or another major terrorist attack, we are a lot less strong than we think we are, both morally and militarily.

The terrorist knows this. That is the key to terrorism, that the response is often more destructive to the victim than the act itself. Terrorists kill people in order to get their nations to commit stupid blunders. Let's not prove them right.

Answer 5

911 is awsome, it has saved lives. It's an easy enough number that a 5 year old child can call it!!

Answer 6

I honestly laughed that people were surprised by the event. I am of course sorry about seeing meaningless loss of life, but seriously.. This event really should have happened 20 years ago

Oh Yes.. if you want to hurt America, you go for Natural Resources, not Buildings..

Answer 7

Yes, dialing 9-1-1 is a good thing if you have a medical emergency. If you are talking about September 11, what the HELL DO YOU THINK PEOPLE FEEL?

Answer 8

911 is a great emergency service and E911 made it even better!

Answer 9

Good number for emergencies and the other was bound to happen sooner than later. The next one will make that one look like peanuts I am afraid to say. Our borders have not been secured and they are probably already here waiting for the word to do it.

Answer 10

I think that it was one of the worst incidents in American History. I remember that day on Tuesday. I was flying to La Guardia Airport in Queens very early. While I was on the road I saw the towers. It was horrific. I couldn't even concentrate on the road. I wish it had not happened.

Answer 11

I Thought It Was Bad. And I Cant Begin How The Familys Felt.
