I remember seeing it on the screen, about 2nd grade I think, and the videos of people falling out. I also remember hearing about 3000 people having died in mere moments, and the first responders getting cancer within the few years after. I remember having Muslim friends removing their hijabs the next day, and it wasn't until 3 years later that they told me why. I remember the hyper Americanism. I remember hearing that there were WMDs in the middle east, but the weapons inspector said otherwise, but got child porn charges shortly after. I remember hearing that were going to war. I remember being ignorant. I was just a child, or course I was. I had no clue what was happening, but I had faith in our government, despite what my parents said, because it's what school was taught. Years later, I learned over 4000 of our men died, but over 1.6 million casualties in the middle east. Well, they're all terrorists, the media said. I wish I hadn't been so young, so ignorant, because the blood of millions is on the hands of not our government, but on the hands of our citizens, for blaming Muslims (1.2 billion people) for the utter destruction and death of 3000 people, yet we attacked the wrong countries in the first place, because saudi Arabia is an "ally". We haven't spread democracy over in the east, but our actions since the '70s have lead to multiple terrorist groups. We are responsible. I mourn the loss of 3000 some americans, AND I mourn the loss of literally 500× more people in the middle east.
