Many feel that it was an attack on Democracy...Either way America changed that day, and in the days that followed. In many ways the terrorists whomever the were/ are, seem to have have won. America has changed.

Hopefully we can return to a world where things are not so sinister. So untrusting. I wish the world was a Fire House, then the people in the house would have the same goals, regardless of their dreams they would always protect life and property. We would call each other Brother and Sister. Does sound like a nice house/world. Well? Doesn't it! Love and Karma to all.
