They did break our spirits, the towers did stay down, and their archaic ways succeeded in ways I would have never imagined possible at the time.
in what ways do you think they've succeeded.
They got the world to be afraid and live in fear. I used to spend a lot of time in airports, and at one point I thoroughly enjoyed traveling by plane. Since the end of 2001 it has become a miserable process, I now absolutely dread it. We are still living in that fear to this day. Some would even argue that every time we loose one of our troops in Afghanistan or Iraq, he or she is yet another casualty of 9/11.
The Qur'an burning threats. The big stink about the Islamic Center in Manhattan. The aftershock of 9/11 lives.
