One thing I remember is how quiet the cafeteria was at lunch. Everybody was in deep thoughts.

2 years ago today I was helping out Miss Moneypenny (Susan) at her work (she works at an Animal shelter).

And we heard about it through people when we where in the middle of getting ready for lunch (still cleaning the kennels and what not).

I remember how the news hit me ... and because I had no access to radio or TV the news came from people passing by the shelter.

At first I felt that the people telling me the news were playing some kind of sick joke, but it was only until we managed to get back to the office that we found out that it was for real.

It was only until I finished and got to my parent’s house to check that everything was ok that I saw it for the first time.

I remember feeling more angry at the people who done it than the shock at this time… maybe it was because I was kept busy until we finished the closing down the centre for the day (which happened shortly after lunch and when we all heard the news).

I remember I was sitting right where I am right now, at my desk at work.  My buddy here at work got a call from his wife, telling him that a plane crashed into the WTC.  For some reason he told us it was just a little cessna sized propeller plane, so we figured no big deal and went back to work.  Then someone walking through our offices yelled that the second tower had been hit.  At this point we rushed into the break room and turned on the TV.  About 30 seconds after the tv was turned on the first tower fell.  All of us at work, including my boss sat around watching it on cnn for most of that day.

Such a sad day.

I remember every moment of that day very clearly.  My dad works about 2 blocks from where the towers once stood, and I knew plenty of people in the area, including one that died that day.  I didn\'t even find out if he was alive or not for quite a while after the event.  Really sad the way everything happened there.

Little late to the rememberance...but here I am.

I remember...two years ago to...I guess would now be yestarday, it was my summer vacation before heading off to my freshman year in college. The only thing I worried about was going away to college before that day. I woke up, around...lunch time I guess (summer vacation and all with nothing to do except goof around) turned on the computer to go online when I say a little news blurb on AOL (when I still had that crap. Not anymore) about planes hitting the WTC. It never occured to me that that was real. I just thought "oh, a what if story. Okay..." so I decided to open up Internet Explorer and head to Yahoo to do my surfing. Thats when I saw...it was no joke. It was real. I immediately turned on the TV, and there it was...a scene I never thought I would ever see in my life. Two planes crashing into the WTC. For the rest of the day, I watched what was happening. To this day, I remember how my day began, how I thought about it, and how everything changed from that day forward.

Its amazing how, I kept relatively calm back in this thread who were quick to blame say, the whole Islamic religion on these terrorist. Heck, I even dismissed the idea that Gore wouldn\'t have done the same. How times have changed. Since then, I have grown more conservative, and am glad it was Bush, not Gore that was/is the President of the United States then and now. I still say Islam itself is respondsible for this attack. But the bastardize version is still being preached, and is still killing people in Iraq, Israel, and, while we have been lucky so far, if they ever get a chance again...in the United States. We still have a long way to go to fight this terror. And no matter what you try to say, these fanatics, extremist, whatever, that book they have in their hand is still, the Koran. May these bastards get what they deserve for, bringing down that religion, and preaching hate in a world that doesn\'t need it.

May god deliever us from darkness in this time of need.

I have muslim friends that are open minded and taking their religion down isnt a nice thing to say.Its not their religion that has to be brought down.Its those religious fanantical leaders that have to be brought down.Those and USA\'s foreign policy.Even christianism has a dark blood spilling history.The holy testament was even worse than any dictatoship regiment that exist in our days.
There are certain muslim territories that are in dispute with others because of their non-religious approach.

I need to apoligize. I said Islam is respondsible, I should\'ve said ISN\'T respondsible. Due to the fact that I didn\'t proofread as thoroughly as I should have, the meaning of what I said had intended completely changed. For that, I\'m sorry.

But, what I was trying to say though is...all the terrorist so far that has been against the US and the perpetuators in many places of the world are...Muslims. Yes, in the past, people have used Christianity (and other religions mind you) as a reason for killing, and that itself is terrible. However, that, I repeat, IS in the past. The closest thing to Christianity terrorism in the modern time would be Northern Ireland terrorist. But...then again, this has also been a battle between Christians and other Christians (Protestants vs. Catholics). Now, the argument could be made about Timothy McVaugh, but from my understanding, he isn\'t a Christian. Just a angry white male.

However, from the FIRST WTC bombing, the attacks on the Cole, the embassy bombings, Somolia, and finally 9-11, all terrorist attacks, all be believers of the bastardize version of Islam (and particularly, Al Queda...Osama Bin Laden). I wasn\'t trying to blame the religion itself. I have/had many friends that were Muslim. Arab even. But to think that there is any other group (FANATICS of that group I keep pointing out. But still a part of that group) that is behind the terrorist attacks is ludicrous (which a few people would try to paint otherwise).
