I was in seventh grade, aged 12, and I remembered it and it was very sad. The difference is at age 12 I didn't know as much about it as I do at age 19 as well as the general public. I still believe that it was really sad, and it was a terrible event that happened, don't get me wrong, but all of the war in Iraq shouldn't have been started because of it, and more people starve to death in 1 day than die from terrorism in 3 years. And more people die from drunk drivers than from terrorists. The Iraq war was like lighting a match in a room filled with methane, a large problem made into a much larger problem. However, I still think it was an awful thing and my heart goes out to those who lost family members.
