Without falling into jingoism or being over-sentimental‚ Robert Pinsky’s poem "9/11" generates a commendable ode to the spirit that drives this country‚ in addition to revealing the American culture for what it truly is enthusiastic and frivolous‚ courageous and fallible‚ petty and resilient.

Let me give you an example. 9/11 was considered one of the most impacted times in our American History. We panicked‚ everyone thought we were going to die and we had a feeling that people were going to have to go to war. We were doing the right thing...in the beginning. We went to Afghanistan to try to find Bin Laden and to no avail; we couldn’t find him so what we did? We‚ or the president I should say‚ decided to go to a place where it had nothing to do with the 9/11 incident and that was Iraq.

1.What impact did the events of 9/11 have on your sense of security/vulnerability? The events of September 11th brought a harsh reality to light. I remember sitting home thinking this wasn’t real and when I finally did catch on and see this was really happening I was overcome with fear.

Fahrenheit 9/11‚ is a documentary directed by Michael Moore. It all starts with the elections of the year 2000‚ with George W. Bush‚ Republican and Al Gore‚ Democrat. As they finished counting the votes all news channels gave Al Gore as winner‚ but friends and political allies of George W.

9/11 was a defining moment for terrorism in the 20th century. As a result‚ it seems that many of our government’s decisions regarding security are driven out of fear‚ which is exactly what terrorists want.
