Title A name given to the resource TomPaine.com Stories Description An account of the resource TomPaine.com -- a liberal advocacy organization -- distributed a public call on August 12, 2002 for 300 word "opinion advertisement" similar to those that the organization had been running regularly in the op-ed page of The New York Times. TomPaine.com received hundreds of submissions from the public, most of which the September 11 Digital Archive has preserved here. TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story On 9/11 when the smoke cleared our eyes were opened to the frightening truth. We are vulnerable as a country as any. This nation is no where near invincible, and now we live in fear of a future attack. The people responsible for these actions not only killed thousands of Americans and caused billion of dollars in damage, they instilled fearing every American heart. When these events come to mind Americans ask themselves what were the motives of the villains? Why did they do what they did? Did they do this for revolutionary purposes? Was this some sort of crusade? I personally feel that this attack was for religious purposes. I feel these said individuals committed these crimes to prove that there religion or faith is above every other. I as an American believe that they are entitled to practice their religion or faith freely, but I ask myself what kind of a religion would promote murder? What kind of a religion would allow people to kill innocent people? What caused these events is not as important as what will be done to compensate for them. When will justice be served and who will it be served to. The response, of the U.S., for these crimes was timely and just. I realize that more people have to die but it is necessary for the sake of keeping our country safe. As our eyes opened on 9/11 after the attack we realized a number of things. Our pryers still go out to those affected by the tragedy. Now we as a nation can only learn and grow. We have to remind ourselves that when all is said and done, we are still one nation under God.
