Every American today is effected directly by 9/11 but not just Americans. The people of Iraq/Afghanistan. Lot's of European Countries (the UN). People like Muslims are looked at with a certain prejudice from all 7 continents unable to sometimes safely and freely practice their religious beliefs. Unfortunately intelligence communities have had to crack down. Some privacy's are invaded but i'm not going to get into that aspect. Btw... before i continue anymore you're probably going to get some what are called 9/11 truthers saying "WAKE UP... 9/11 WAS IN INSIDE JOB!!!" Don't feed into that... they are some of the most unintelligent people on the planet including architects for 9/11 truth. Anyways... 2,976 people died on 9/11. You can multiply that by at least `10 people that were effected directly by each one of those deaths... people that knew them. The wars that have followed. The US Government and the people wanted justice and a form of vengeance for the attacks but it has now taken a new direction. It's not about getting justice now. The way you travel has been effected... every country on the planet has upgraded security at their International airport. Lots of people woke up. Americans like myself before i enlisted were living over here without a fear... without a thought... now the threat is real and there we can acknowledge it. Other countries can learn from the mistakes that were made by the US National Security Agency. Lots of terror and awful things happened surrounding 9/11 but it has also made certain elements rise from anew and work together. We can learn from the mistakes and prevent a possible future attacks. Pro's and con's.

I would suggest you also include the tremendous monetary cost to the United States of the (continuing) aftermath. Something along the line of $7-9 Trillion (with a T).

The opportunity costs are absolutely staggering, e.g. could 25 Billion dollars have gone to ... instead of being expended on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan?

well it was used to crack down on liberties there and in papa new guinea but true cannot have had much significence unless new zea land had green marxist government. as far as i know new zea land not thought of as big industrial centre but still is usefull as green marxist place .agriculture and what industry theiere is surely computer software a component made in green marxist world union good. trouble is 9/11 used as excuse by capitalists to intervene eveeywhere including new zea land.

It prompted many of us to research Islam, which is a violent religion.Those of the Islam faith expect everyone to convert to Islam or ultimately pay a price. We found out these people can never be trusted.

......don't believe me? Read their koran, which they all follow to the fullest.

This will help you a lot (especially the Aaron Russo Interview). Please watch this first video linked here. It’s only one minute. You’re going to be impressed. This is a local news video of a witness named Kenny Johannemann testifying to explosions that happened in the basement of one of the WTC towers. While he is testifying you still see both of the twin towers burning behind him in the background. This was live footage and it's only ONE minute long. Go ahead and watch this here:
