I had a dream a couple of months before 9-11.  In the dream I was in a window with my mother and cousin.  We were looking out of it when a plan came into view.  The plane came right into the window and the building exploded. Then it was total darkness and all I felt was intense heat. Then I woke up.  I was freaked out for a while over that one. I thought it was a sign that I was going to hell. Then 9-11 happened and my dream popped into my head.  Scary but true. The amazing thing about all of this is, that Tuesday, I was going over to the city to go to my credit union. I live in jersey so i was gonna take the path to the WTC and go shopping at Century 21(which was right across the street from the twin towers).  I planned to get over there by 9am but I overslept.  Thank God! As I was walking out the door I got a call from my sister telling me to turn on the news, a plane had hit one of the towers.  I will never forget that.  Everything happens for a reason. I really felt blessed because had I not overslept I would of been there when the plane hit.

The first I wondered what was going on.....after I heard about it, and and a second hit...I wondered WTF......Shortly after, I began to realize just what was going on. By the time the Pentagon got hit and 93 went down, I was more than scared, upset, and wanted to know what to do to stop it.....Two weeks later, I had a Bumper sticker that said F@*$K terrorists on my car, and I went to see an Army recruiter.

Muhammad found guilty in second sniper trial\nhttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13049413/\n\nNot a huge shock- the jury only deliberated for 4 hours.  But I lived through this nightmare and people were shot in my town- one about a mile away from my home.  So, this is great news.\n\nAs far as "feel good" news, I have to say this:\nhttp://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13043875/

Yes, many military men and women were offended.  It was one of the most inappropriate and stupid things that Kerry could have said.  However, being the proud military personnel that we are, I'd say it was handled great.  The picture is a great and fun jab back at Kerry.  It was a true eye opener for many as to how Kerry truly feels about the troops.  Kerry and the Dems will feel repercussions from this for awhile.  It's really not shocking that he said it.  He's never liked or supported the military.  Anyone that knows anything about him knows that his military career was a farce.  He's proved his ignorance once again.\n\nKudos and thumbs-up for our troops in Iraq.  I love the reply from them to Kerry!!

We won a military victory.\n\nUnfortunately, this means very little. We've lost by just about any other account.\n\nFrom reading the other answers, there are still a fair number of people who believe that Iraq had something to do with terrorism. But that just isn't true. Saddam did not tolerate groups like Al Queada because extremist groups represented a threat to his power. Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. And Iraq had no WMDs.\n\nThis is all stated very clearly in the bi-partisan congressional report, which you can go and read if you'd like.\n\nAnother congressional report that the 9-11/Iraq believers should read is the congressional terrorism report. Terrorism has increased world-wide since the invasion, so again we have not won on that front.\n\nWe've also dumped over $500 billion into this effort and have nothing to show for it as far as remuneration goes. The government has had to borrow more money from countries like China to pay for it since there isn't enough tax revenue to cover it, ploughing us further into debt. So we have not won on the economic front.\n\nFrom a political standpoint, we've spit in the face of the UN and burned all our political capital we had. We ignored our allies. Everyone was warning against this. And still we went in. Our credibility is now quite low throughout the world, especially in the Middle East. Again, no victory there.\n\nFrom a humanitarian view, we've lost. The people view us occupiers, not rebuilders. Tensions are high. Thousands have been killed, with more dying every day. It is now looking quite probable that a civil war is in progress and gaining momentum. The CIA predicted this was a likely outcome two years ago.\n\nAll of this could have been avoided if:\n\nA) We didn't go in in the first place. The policy of premption is at best a double-edged sword and at worst an excuse for empire building (see Nazi Germany for an example).\n\nB) If a plan had been developed to win the peace. We didn't have one, or at least not one that was feasible. From looking at the old videos of the time, there seemed to be the notion that the Iraqi's would welcome us with flowers and then join together in harmony and democracy. I find this amusing considering the place has been a hotbed of religious conflict for at least the past 1000 years.\n\nIn the end, we can claim a military victory. But we can claim little else.\n\n~X~

i have been over there 7 times. i was also at ground zero helping recover bodies from the 9-11 attacks. My marriage has ended in divorce. I have PTSD, and need to take medication so i don't fly off the handle, and hurt some one. it has made me a different person. i think in the future we need to find ways to prevent this from happening, and maybe be more open as a government to the perception of other countries about why  we do what we do.\n  People all over are more or less the same, it just seems when we mix religious ideology and politics all into one big pot ....no good can come from it.  it's mostly just made me sad and introspective. I do love this country and our ideas, we just got to get better at sharing our strengths

Oh my lord I knew it wasn't the truth.When I first seen the towers go down they went down as if there had been a demolition crew sent there to make sure it went straight down.What are we suppose to do as americans.We only have the truth that the government wants us to have.I have a deep ache in my heart for all the innocent lives lost not only here but those still being killed in Iraq.Why can't we have peace and love back in our lives.I have to go now need to go hug my husband and my mom.

I am not sure I understand the question.\n\nFirst of all, I was impressed with the order and tact from the marchers I saw reflected in the major networks (although I've already spent more time here than watching the news.)  I saw few Mexican flags, and was able to believe those weren't meant badly.  In that sense, I think the protests were a success.\n\nHowever, did anything else happen today that we weren't expecting?  I think that is what people mean when they say 'it didn't change anything.'  We expected to see massive marches, and we did.  The areas that rely on low pay Hispanic workers (legal and illegal immigrants) were empty and many purportedly closed.  \n\nHowever, if you believe that had different, available workers from within the country been hired, the businesses would have stayed open, the only point that remains is that large numbers of people marched.  And, deserving of respect, they kept it peaceful, and upbeat.\n\nNot 12 million people marched, and we know there are 12 million illegal immigrants here, so, if people were surprised, they haven't been thinking.

This question is on the vague side, if it is a question at all, it appears to be more of a statement. The 9/11 hijackings and the aftermath have been documented. There is no debate in my mind and perhaps in those of other Americans minds. \n\nIt's done. One perpetrator has been brought to justice and we need to move so that this doesn't happen again for the sake of our children and grandchildren.\n\nI lost friends that I had gone through training with, it's still very hard to see and comprehend. I don't think that I ever will, when I do, I have become to callous for this world.
