Carol, Saugus
I do not fell afraid nor more vulnerable.
What I do feel is anger and frustration that anyone would feel they have the right to destroy other people's lives like this.
I will not give up my freedom to anyone.
If I do then "they" win.
H., Melrose
After staying up into the wee hours to watch the coverage of the events, one would think that we would feel a little sense of peace... "it's over." Is it? Is it really over? I feel nervous and afraid. They came from HERE... and how are we to know that there aren't more of them lurking around the city?
Rebecca, Duxbury
I am angry;I want the government of this country to get these people. This is war and I don't want to hear any words of backing off.
Bill, Stoneham
I will not give them the satisfaction of being afraid. We are a strong country and what the terrorist did not realize is that as bad of a day as it was, it brought us all a little closer with a common goal. To get who is responsible and make them pay. They have no problem dying for their cause so we need to be ruthless in getting them. Even if it means innocent people die we need to show them that it will not be tolerated. Lets see if more people are willing to do this if we kill their families their wives, mothers, and even children. This is a new day in America and its time to do what needs to be done to bring these people in and make sure it never happens again!
Noreen, Chelmsford
What happened was a horrible, senseless tragedy and while it is true that we were forced to watch the events unfold in terror it is also true that we were able to watch our great nation mobilize to action. Air travel was suspended, ground personnel were mobilized and regular, everyday people helped each other. In my eyes and the eyes of my sons (9 and 11), this country never came to a standstill and was never brought to her knees. Though shaken, the courage this nation showed in the face of such terrible violence leaves me with a tremendous feeling of awe on what it means to be an American!
Brenda, Boston
No, I do not believe we have lost our freedom but our sense of security and 'breezy confidence' has been shaken. We have seen evil at its worst and we must face its reality. We are living in the 21st Century where biological warfare can be used by those who care nothing for human life. Although we pray and mourn for those who died in this disaster, let us make sure that we honor their memory by taking the right steps in advance and not allow thugs to rule this world. Pious platitudes do not solve the problem of terrorism.
Ronald, Brookline
We knew it was only a matter of time
that something like this was going to
happen. People may have been surprised
and shocked when it happened, but this
time we quickly recovered by going to
blood donation centers, giving each
other support, standing strong and defiant, and ready to find who did this
and bring them to justice.
In Short, we are demonstrating that we
are NOT terrified, afraid or vulnerable, but ready to fight back,
keep on living our lives, and not let
any terrorists push us around.
I am impressed with how strong we are
this time and how we are ready to take
action and do what is necessary.
Matt, Boston
I don't think we've lost our freedom, but probably our false sense of security. Perhaps these attacks will make people realize that we live in glass houses and are throwing stones.
Dirk, Salem
I do not feel vulnerable. I feel anger towards those who did this terrible act and plead for immediate response by our government. I quote:
"No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory."
"I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost, but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again." - FDR, Sept 8, 1941, Pearl Harbor speech
"We have awakened a sleeping giant and have instilled in him a terrible resolve". - Isoruku Yamamoto, Admiral in Chief, Japanese Pacific Fleet
A., Roxbury
I am disgusted, sad, outraged and
tired. ( I work for the news)
I just want to say i agree, we can't run
away we have to turn and fight, and
show those people what the USA is
all about.
