re: #986 Mich-again

9/11 was an attack on NY specifically, but it was also an attack on the entire USA. True, I can’t possibly feel as traumatized by it as those who were there or lost loved ones, but I do think it was a life-changing moment.

WTC + Pentagon + whatever was the target of Flight 93. Yeah, that made it pretty much an attack on the entire USA.

I was home alone that morning, due to a dentist appointment later, so I was watching live TV reports beginning about 8:55 or so. I’d seen Behind the Veil the previous summer, a documentary about the Taliban regime in Afghanistan, and I’d already seen OBL’s interview in which he essentially declared war on us back in 1998.
