On Sept.11,2002, I was at work in a tool shop, and I heard the first report through my radio headphones. I, as most, thought it was an accident, but after the second plane hit we all knew we had been attacked. Being attacked was not surprising, as I knew we would be someday. I just didn't know when or where. Soon jets would roar overhead patrolling the no-fly zone for nearby Camp David. The most impressive point about this day was the courage of the passengers on Flight 93. The most disheartening point was the failure of our government to prevent this. Clinton's incompentence certainly contributed to this attack. What really enraged me was the fact that pilots are not allowed to be armed. What a difference that could have made.The sad part is our leaders have learned little from this. Although we should have armed pilots soon, the idiots in Wash. are still pushing for more aliens and open borders. We will be attacked again.
