9/11: An Unforgivable Event

The art of war is a sword that cuts deeply with both ends, leaving many wounded, scarred, confused, and angered. 

The most difficult and agonizing truth about any war is that it only takes a diminutive number of terror touting radicals to cause a multitude of chaos and destruction throughout the entire world; leaving the innocent and those who are dispassionate about a cause to pay for the deliberate action made by the few; and what’s worse is having someone know about the plans of terror touting terrorist, sit still and just wait for an event such as 9/11 to happen. When a missile falls, its exact destination is not promised, nor are the lives of those who maybe ignorant to its target. It is now 2006, and nothing has seemed to change about the ill wind that is referred to as operation freedom. What about operation “U.S. Soil?” 

Some may disagree and argue with my point and say that there has been a multitude of change because our government and armed forces have managed to prevent another attack on United State’s soil, which is true, but our fears have not been removed, but are sustained. Some may feel that the deaths of our soldiers are justified in the name of peace, and that the 4 year war, all the hits and missiles misses, along with the tax increases are all within a justifiable means to attain and restore peace to our nation, or something close to peace, but I feel that no death is justifiable. There are those who would prefer to remain consciously blind, deaf and objective to the entire situation because of fear of expressing their honest opinions about our government’s effort on the war. However, I am not one of those people and I have no difficulty candidly stating that I still feel unconvinced and threatened as I sit in my room, at my desk, in the United States typing this article that the United States will be able to prevent another catastrophe such as 9/11 from happening again.
