911

On 911 I was in Mrs. Chapdelaine's 4th grade class in Jessie F. George School. All the teachers went into the hallway, whispering to each other about the events that just went down. When Mrs. Chapdelaine came back she asked if we all had rides home that day. After school I walked home to find my dad and my little brother's babysitter sitting on the couch watching the news. It was scary to see my father so upset about something. I sat and watched with them for hours, watching replays of the attacks over and over again.
I think we're still at war with Iraq because we want their oil. Iraq has a lot of natural resources that America wants and since we're the most badass country in the world we think we can just invade their country and take it. I think the attacks on 911 were an excuse for Bush to declare war on Iraq - I think he would've done it regardless because we're greedy and think we deserve things that don't belong to us.
