America Stands Tall Back to home page

When I found out what happened on Sept. 11, I felt really sad for the families that lost their family member or members that were in the plane or in the building. If I was in that plane, I would be really scared because you would know you would be dying soon. And those Afghanistans are killing themselves just to make the United States ruined. But it's not working, it's just making us more powerful, it's making us care more about America.

So those Afghanistans can keep killing themselves, but they will never change the way America is and they never will. How would those Afghanistans like it if we killed family members and friends in Afghanistan? They wouldn't like it at all. They would all be sad and cry and feel the same way we do right now. Everyone is the same no matter how rich or poor they are, we are all the same no matter what.

Today I see teenagers pick on other teenagers because of the way they look, like if they are fat or something else. At school there are different kinds of groups, like there are ones that are geeks and the other are popular (preps) or people with less friends. That's how the Afghanistans are acting, they are mad at us because we have a better quality of things in America and they basically have nothing. So they shouldn't take it out on us.

But the way I feel about this is that someone shouldn't take out on someone for something that's not someone's fault. If a family member is reading this or a friend of a person who died on September 11th, I feel really sorry for what happened and I think that someday America should get an apology from Osama Bin Laden himself and say it on TV so that everyone will hear it and then I think he should die for what he has done.

So I feel really sad about what happened on Sept. 11 and I think that everyone is the same no matter where they came from or what they look like. So I feel really sad about Sept. 11 and I'm scared if it happens again because it might be worse than before.
