I was in the fifth grade, and my math says I was 9. I don't remember much, I just remember the TV being on. I don't even remember watching it. I do remember, though, one of the next day's papers front page. It had a huuuge American flag on it.
It's good that Amercan's all came together after the attack, it's good that we know to do that.
What's NOT good is my generation, in regards to the attack. We were disscussing it in one of my classes today, and a kid actually said "Well I think..like..since Bush wanted to like..go there and attack and everything..and Obama wanted to get out of there..". If I had been any closer to that kid, I would've been swinging.
I'm already sick and tired of all these weirdos running around saying "oh Bush was in on it, it's a conspiriacy." But, to say something like what that kid said..It's stupid, and even more ignorant to say something about it, when obviously he doesn't have a fudging clue what he's talking about. The kid has a reputation for being an idiot already, though, so I should've seen it coming.
Overall, I think the attack worked more than al-Qaeda planned it to. They got their 2000+ lives, and as an added bonus, they got a large number of people to turn against their president because they can't understand they difference between the war in Iraq and the war on terror.
So I'm just kind of disappointed that I can't remember anything about such a large event, an event that I've read, and watched, and listened about, that actually went down when I was alive..wish I had watched the TV..I might have..might just have a bad memory..
