9/11

Wow, it has been seven years since that awful attack. I was sitting in homeroom when I heard about it, but did not believe it until it was announced in chapel. I remember that whole day huddling by a small radio in shock trying to figure out what was going on. In one day we were attacked at both World Trade Centers, the Pentagon, and the third major attack was thwarted by some brave passengers aboard United 93. It really does not seem like it was that long ago because as soon as the day comes, I feel the exact same as I did in 2001. I woke up this morning as as I turned off my alarm I saw the date, September 11, and immediately started praying, thanking God for our leaders, our military, and especially George W. Bush. I watched a dvd about the radical Islamist movement around the world and it is absolutely terrifying what is going on. Praise the Lord we have a President who understands the threat and has done everything he can to keep us safe. And I take comfort knowing that since 2001 we have sent hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of radical Islamists to the grave. But if only our dimwit President in the '90s had looked past his fear of hurting his "image" and taken action to stop these radicals, we could have stopped 9/11. But I hope that everyone in our nation today takes time to remember what happened and thank God for President Bush, our brave troops, and everyone else in our government who have supported them. Also, I hope people stop blocking out the memory of this event so they can see clearly who they should vote for in November. The choice is absolutely clear.

Here is a video shown at the Republican National Convention having to do with 9/11, it is really good.
