The Screwed
Up Country \ USA: Destruction of the Twin Towers and Such
In my years of living here in America, I have questioned what it's done and
could have done, should have done and would have done. Although my views
of America were questionable, I believe the attack on the Pentagon and the
World Trade Center, was totally uncalled for and unnecessary. What terrorist's
believe to have been the start of America's downfall, it actually turned
out to be an uprising. America's spirit's have risen greatly and it's a shame
that it took this incident to do so. Never have I seen Americans' work together
so greatly, donating blood, digging through rubble and so on. When I heard
these events, I almost cried. The horror was part of it, but also the joy
of a nation actually working together. The world, in fact, working together.
Hearing the apologies from all the countries including England and Canada
made this world seem more united. The unexpected help from Russia also made
me content. I went to work and realized I couldn't get my paycheck because
of the airplane ban. What did I think about it? I didn't care. I did not
care in the least bit. I went home, grabbed my American flag, and hung it
outside. That's the effect the terrorists made on me. The anger is there,
no doubt, against the people who did this and helped do this. I think about
the people in the buildings and in the planes, as they new in a few minutes
they were going to be killed. That they would never see their love ones again.
I can't imagine being those people, I can't imagine suffering in that way.
I hope that if there is a heaven, they go there and if there isn't a heaven,
I hope one is created for them. They deserved none of this whatsoever. Terrorism
never helps anything except the death toll. The death of innocent victims
is just wrong. No other way about it. The people that did this deserve the
punishment that comes to them, but all I ask is that they suffer for it.
A quick death would be too short. My disgruntled ways against George W Bush
are over, I cheer for him now as I would for anyone else in office looking
for action against the terrorists. We cannot let the terrorists win, and
winning doesn't just involve barrages of terrorism, it involves the idea
that the "losing side" (The term losing is used as in the side that just
took in the biggest hit from the opposing side) is losing hope and faith
in their society. If we think that, we have lost the war. If we imagine that,
we have lost the war. If we stand up after we have been hit, we have won
the war. War is what it has come to, I feel. But a different kind of war,
a war against terrorism. That war will surely deliver a blow to the evil
in the world and will greatly lift the good side. I believe in the American
Dream now my friends, and that dream is defeating the evil in the world one
step at a time. Now that's a dream that doesn't take a fairy tale to come
true, but rather united nations and people. I am proudly one of those people.
