We were discussing about September 11th in our RE lesson today. There were a lot of comments made by students that where talked about, that made a lot of sense. It's amazing some of the statistics that people have calculated. But are the Americans right to be retaliating too such an extent. When you think about it, America has bombed so many places and done so much damage to peace in the Middle Eastern countries. They have killed millions of people and they think that they can just walk away with their nose held up high! I don't think so. It was a catastrophe waiting to happen. When it finally does, it so coincidentally happened to be a terrorist! But it wasn't just Bin Laden who wanted to do it. It was all the places that had been bombed by America previously. The innocent people didn't do any thing wrong. So what if they have a different religion. It’s not illegal to practice it, is it? So basically, a lot of people wanted to do something to the USA. Americans are just using the "War on Terror" theme as an excuse. So when 9/11 happened, there were pictures in the paper of Palestinian civilians cheering. Then there was the retaliation. And again, the civilians started dieing. And so America has no sense if they are going to bomb Iraq. It had to stop soon. Or I reckon it might get out of hand.
