11 September 2007
6 Years Ago
6 years ago, September 11, 2001, I was watching evening news on TV. Breaking news came up, I saw the scene that one of World Trade Center towers was burning. First, I thought it was a terrible accident. I thought the building would survive. Actually, I hoped so, because I've been there. The other tower was hit, and I realized it was never an accident.
After an hour, both buildings collapesed and then another news came, Pentagon was hit.
I could not believe what happened. After this incident, that week's news reports were all about the terror incident.
After that, the U.S.A attacked Afghan, and then Iraq. Tens of thousands of innocent civilians were killed and Binladen was never captured. Hussein was hanged to death but he had no link with Al Quaida. No weapons of mass-destruction was found.
Some say "911 happened because it should have happened."
One recent Dutch movie "Black Book" that depicted Nazis occupied Holland had an interesting scene. One German officer made a speech and said "Let's strike down terror resistance and get back free Europe." This scene overlaps the speeches made by the U.S. officials.
Who are the real terrorists?
What caused terrorism? What kind of situation are we in now?
Since 911, I began to think about what to do to change things better. That is why I became so interested in history.
I think 911 made documentary films like Micheal Moore's become so popular. There are a lot of problems on earth. Reality is much more thrilling and cruel than fictions. We all have to think about that and seek the solutions for those problems.
