Are we recovering from 9/11?


     On September 9, 11 four planes were hijacked from the United States Airports by terrorist. 10 years Prior bush declared war on Iraq. Al-Qaeda operatives retaliated. They wanted to send a message to the U.S. and the president of the U.S. at the time George Bush. Flights eleven and one seventy-five hit the world trade center. Flight seventy-seven struck the pentagon in Washington DC. Next flight ninety-three crashed in a Pennsylvania field. This attack changed America forever.


    
     I believe declaring war in the same month as 9/11 was not the appropriate time. I think it would've been best for bush to let the country grieve by building memorials. After the country has had some time to morn for their loss then the U.S. should have talk with the United Nations. Talk about what would be the best way to deal with this terrorist threat. Bush believed 9/11 as an opportunity to have reason to attack Iraq. George W. Bush had an agenda to attack Iraq before 9/11.



  The question to “Are we safer” is no. We were attack on the day’s date that is the same as our emergency hot line! Then not to have full confidence in the government that protects us because they have a personal agenda doesn't make me feel safer. I don’t feel as we are winning the war on terror because it requires us to give more freedoms to the government. We have to be searched nearly naked by the airports which at times can be demeaning if it’s in front of our families.




 The government can listen to personal phone calls if they believe it’s necessary.


 I know these are sacrifices for protecting love ones and because of that I feel we are doing what’s best against these terrorist but this isn't “Winning”.

  1. Yahni,

    Ok post. It feels very rushed. The first paragraph is choppy, confusing, and there are many grammar mistakes. See, "September 9,11". That is very confusing.

    Your blog is missing the opposing view point. You say that the US did overreact, but who would say that it has done everything necessary to keep us safe (conservatives?).

    Your second paragraph should be focused on their point of view. Then, the third paragraph is your analysis. Your entire post should answer both questions - did we react and are we safer - but it must also include more analysis on both sides.

    Lastly, you should be including more facts, figures, and quotations in each paragraph. Try to include 3 facts per paragraph.
