Well, I guess I should comment on 9.11, huh? It is, after all, a turning point in our country's history, sort of. Well, it could have been. It could have been the point where the U.S joined the rest of the world again. But, we rose up, then fell back on our old ways.
9.11 was shocking, but it wasn't surprising, at least not to those of us who take a more global view of the world than your average American. It was inconceivable, unimaginable that a terrorist group could and would hijack all those planes and fly them into the Twin Towers, and let's not forget the Pentagon and the crash land one in a field in Pennsylvania.
Why is 9.11 only associated with New York City?
But, back to my point: it was shocking, but not surprising because I wondered what took al Qaeda so long. Terrorist attacks had been going on around the world for years. And they continue today. The United States was insulated for years. And we haven't had an attack in six years while the rest of the world spins out of control.
