9/11

9/11 is always a sensitive time of year for everyone. people remember the terrorist attacks on the world trade center and the attack on the pentagon. more importantly, they remember the lives that were lost that terrible day. i was in 4th grade in math class when the news was announced on television. at the time i hadnt realized the heaviness of the event. it hit me a little later when i found out that the united states had gone to war. this event had changed american history forever. safety precautions have severely increased and the government seems more paranoid by the minute. as americans we have developed stereotypes about other races and now the muslim people have taken a hit for it. it wasnt their fault for the attack. its stupid to think that people should be judged by how they look or what god they pray to. it doesnt matter at all. there has only been one good thing that has come from this attack on american safety; its the way we have come together as a nation and how we are as close as ever. patriotism has increased a lot since this devastating event in history. we need to stop the stupidity of the governments plans to wage war and carry on with the fighting. the racism and stereotyping needs to come to a stop. we're americans and we'll be better than that.
