20 Years
This Saturday the nation will record the 20th anniversary of the World Trade Towers destruction, the attack on the Pentagon and the plane that went down when passengers fought hijackers. It was the start of two decades of war against terrorists that continues today even though the US has left Afghanistan. That day is burned into memory and is the base on which Presidents and legal authorities decide how to combat terrorism. We don't want ever again a day like 9/11/01. It is a benchmark in history, a tragic symbol of how the world has changed. The phrase 9/11 communicates helplessness when the world watched in horror as the twin towers fell and the Pentagon burned. It was an event that proved to Americans that there is no safety from evil in the world. We have to engage in the fight against terror no matter where in the globe it rises.
