The Faces in September 11

The September 11 came as a shock to most of the Americans, but it was not a surprise to the United States government.  “The attacks shocked the nation, but it shouldn’t have surprised the United States" says CNN. "The United States government was aware that al-Qaeda had had several attacks on the US overseas.  The government should have seen some kind of attack coming and should have prepared before the attacks happened.” I was 16 when I heard the news, it was in one of my classes that I remember watching the television with classmates seeing the scenes that I probably wont forget now.  The words “terrorist” “al-Qaeda” moved into our terminology as people were talking about who was behind this attack.  I remember the people who were different color of skin and who wear turbans on their heads were bulled by others, people looked down upon them.  Let’s just say, what happened on September 11, changed the world in how we view life—this even costed the Un...
