Since 9/11...?

Question

Has America become safer, stronger, watchful, or has it become a 6 year long episode of Fear Factor?

Answer 1

I think that after 9/11 we should have re evualuated ourselves, and stretched out a hand to help others. We should have increased our humanitarian efforts. Im not saying that the terrorists didn't need to be combated, but i think that we are looking for a military solution when we should be trying to help everyone have a better life around the world.

Answer 2

Considering that we're blaming the wrong people for 9/11 (And that's all I'm going to say about that.), we are definitely NOT safer.

Definitely a six year long episode of Fear Factor!

Answer 3

I think America is living in fear. The media and the current administration makes sure that there is some sort of threat looming behind ever corner. I do not think that the US is any more safer than it was before. As far as being stronger. I am dubious. Such a high number of our troops are over there fighting this "ghost war" it makes us more vunerable. Watchful? In a sense. Watchful almost to the point of paranoia.

Answer 4

I view 9/11 as though someone broke into my house. I would take precautions, be more watchful, and do what I could to prevent it from happening again, but knowing that there's always another burglar - just waiting his opportunity to repeat the process. From this American's perspective, we are stronger, safer, and more watchful. My only fear is a "peace at any cost" administration running our government.

Answer 5

The Fear Factor is a joke.

Airport security finds such minutia in my bags while ignoring other things.

They need to profile people by race.

Arabs who behave suspeciously should not be allowed at airports. There is reason to seach them more carefully than the rest of us.

The war has made us safer, there are several hundred terroriest now locked up in Cuba and the world is better place because they are locked up.

We need to see how Christians are treated when locked up in Muslim jails and us that as the standard of how to treat the Islamic terrorists in Cuba.

Its interesting to note that all the experts on Bible prophesy agree that the USA is not found at the end times.

Answer 6

Since 9/11 America has become a paranoid state, reminiscent of the McCarthy era of the 50's. I seriously believe that people will look back on this as one of the darkest chapters in American, and world, history.

Answer 7

Safer?? Not hardly. We were attacked because of deaths of innocents in the mideast so our answer was to invade a soveign nation to catch a criminal and then go cause the deaths of thousands more with this warcrime going on in Iraq.

The way your citizens stay safe is not to give others rage and revengeful reasons to attack.

Answer 8

Paranoid, uptight, police state- much scarier than Fear Factor.

Answer 9

We have always lived with a sense of false security,
Pear; harbor was one example of this, and then 9/11 brought it back again.
What will happen next, if we once again become complacent?
Do we once again become so secure, in our strength that this could happen again?
will history repeat itself?
very few of us have lived in fear since 9/11.
we have gone through some inconveniences, but I would rather go through that, than have one more person killed because of a lack of security.
