9/11
In my opinion i honestly think we are winning this battle we have with the terrorists who attacked the world trade centers because their leader, Osama Bin Laddin, is now dead and we are still searching to find the others that were invloved in the attack. The United states are not going to stop until they are all found and get punished for what they did. 9/11 has effected the whole country especially those who lost loved ones and now have to suffer still to this day not having their loved one around. I, myself, have to suffer...i lost my uncle because a group of people decided they didnt agree with what the u.s was doing and attacked it to prove what? that they can kill people and destroy buildings? i still dont understand why they did this. ive never gotten an answer from anyone... i still wonder..
