Tonya Wood October 4, 2001Dr. AnnanFreshman SeminarThe Attack On AmericaI was quite saddened by the event that took place on September 11, 2001. An unfortunate calamity occurred in New York that will go down in history. Two airplanes crashed into the World Trade Center, causing them to collapse, injuring and killing thousands of people. When I first learned of the catastrophe, I was in my dorm room asleep because I dont have classes on Tuesdays. My mom called me and informed me of the horrendous episode and it actually took me a while to realize what happened. But when I turned the television on, everything was clear as day. I saw people falling and jumping out of windows. It was horrific. My initial feelings were hatred toward the culprits behind this cowardly act. I couldnt comprehend exactly what the purpose of this was proving. I hope and pray that Osama bin Laden and whoever else is responsible for this inure act is given capital punishment.If I were in the position to do som ething I would donate clothing, blood, counseling, and anything else that would assist anyone who needed emotional support. But unfortunately I cant donate blood because Ive had body tattoos done recently.My feelings toward the people that live in the Middle East are good nor spoiled because not all of them can be held responsible and not one individual can be pinpointed. But it is unfortunate for them because even though they are Americans, they are considered as one of them who were involved in this hate crime. Its quite sad.Its very difficult to say why exactly we were attacked, tho Im sure whoever was responsible for this had more than one motive. Ive heard numerous reasons and some people think we should attack others think we should crop peace. I personally think that if we dont fight back and let everything go, well be attacked again. If it takes bombing Afghanistan, then thats what it takes.
