Terrorism

Today was the first day since the attack that I haven't cried. I know I haven't written anything about it since then, and I don't really know why. I guess I've just been in a really sensitive mood these past few days, to the point where seeing something on TV, or reading an article in the paper, or even listening to a song will bring me to tears.

The last few days have been quite an emotional experience. I've felt shock, sorrow, pain, anger, pride. It's a shame that it takes a tragic incident like this to bring the nation together. When I'm out in public, people just seem to be a little nicer than usual. Perhaps this is because we all have a different outlook on life now, and the little things we used to bitch and complain about are nothing compared to what the victims, their family and friends had to experience.

It's good to see the nation coming together to unite, but what disheartens me are the reports of people threatening Arab-Americans and Muslims. Haven't these people learned from what we did to Japanese-Americans during WWII? These people love this country as much, if not more, than the rest of us do. Otherwise, they would still be living in their homeland. No matter where you are from, it's never right to threaten and terrorize innocent people.
