On the morning of 9/11/2001 there was 4 plains was hijacked by terrorists from the Al Queda network. Two of which were flown into the World Trade Center towers in New York City, one hit the Pentagon, and the other plane was forced to crash in western Pennsylvania before it could hit a target in Washington D.C .The after math of 9/11 has changed  the government prospective on terrorism and the American people’s daily lives. Anytime we bring 9/11  it stirs up fresh memories  like it happened yesterday and things seem much less settled no matter what side of the argument you come down on.


I do not feel that U.S. over-reacted to 9/11. I think they did everything they were supposed to do in order to keep the American people safe. Many people believe that the steps the government has taken have harmed the nation without adding to our security. As Nicole Belle wrote “Between bankrupting the nation on an Iraq war that had nothing to do with 9/11, approving torture, and letting the TSA grope grandmothers,” conservatives exploited 9/11. 
 
 

 
I honestly don’t know if we Are safer today. It is hard to say what might have happened without the steps that were taken. We haven’t had anything happen as big as 9/11 but here have been similar events happen in other countries, like the bombings in Spain and England. These events may not have been as spectacular, but killing people is killing people.
 
I thank no one is winning  the "War on Terror" because for every step we take. Our opponent comes up with a way around it .We were not attacked by a country and it is very difficult to kill an idea.
