We are now coming up on six months since the September 11th tragedy. Six full months since The United States suffered it's most devestating attack on it's own soil. A half a year since New York and Washington, as well as the passengers on the plane over Penn., were devestated by the action of zealots who would have wanted to kill even more than the 3000+ they did.
As an American, has your life changed since 9/11? Are you still gung ho about the war in the Middle East now that it has gone longer than first expected? I know our war on terrorism was one that would last a long time, but, are you dissapointed that Bin Laden has yet to be confirmed dead or captured? Since most of us here live in the tri state area, do you feal safe in the city?
Yeah, I know we usually avoid the serious threads around here like the plauge but this one would seem to affect us all and rightfully so. I for one still support the war effort in it's fullest. I still want to see the men and women responsible for these henious actions to be made to suffer and die. It does trouble me a little that in my nieghborhood, I am one of the few people that still has a flag on his/her car. As far as safety goes since I live about 15 minutes from the city and spend alot of time working at JFK airport, I don't feel fear and despair. When I see the national gaurd with thier M16's patroling the airport, I actually feel more relaxed.
