The terrorist attacks are causing a lot of verbal and some physical abuse in schools. There are many cases already where someone in a class has said a remark and gotten someone mad and caused a big disruption in school. Also there has been some kids getting beaten up for doing nothing but being part of that race. It’s like our society wants to go back and treat people like they treated African Americans decades ago. Only this time it’s at the Afghanistani people.
Our country shouldn’t go after every Arabic looking person we see. We should all focus on the leader of this whole mess and put him and all the other people involved in this to rest. And maybe it’s not even someone from a different country. It’s possible considering passengers were talking with friends and family before the plane went down – but what if they were wrong? What if they are Americans – what if this mess is centered here in America? I think the FBI thought it was bin Laden without checking all information. How do they know he’s involved? Did he turn himself in? No. Was he on any of those airplanes? No. Yet they thought it was him within 24 hours of the attacks. Maybe they did look into it more and I’m sure they did but they came to their conclusion way too fast.
Those are my thoughts about this disaster and I hope this ends soon. We will never forget it but we can put in our record books for the past instead of the present. Hopefully we get the crooks and move on.
