On native soil, and the war on Iraq.


It is sad to see so many families lose their loved ones during the September 11 attack of the terrorists on the world trade center, but America has not yet seen what a long lasting war on its soil would do to its popular cutlure. So, after seven years of the attack it would be best to say that the horrific incident is forgotten by most of America's popular culture. It might of been shocking for most citizens of the United States to see their country getting hit, but the impact of that event is only strongly memorable by the people who have been largely effected by it. I for once have seen a war and lived through it in Iraq, and for four years after the contradiction I'm careless to say that it had a big impact on my life, even though it did. Not only my heart beats fast when i hear loud noises, but the suffering that my family went through to get here was tremendous. Some events that I have seen can be disgusting, but when people try to look for the future and forget the past that's when it does not matter anymore. Popular culture was only doing what's best for its country at the time, but soon enough things went back to normal, even though there is another side to the story where normal is not an acceptional term for recent results of actions committed by the Bush administration do to the impact of September 11.
