September 11, a normal Tuesday morning in the United States, American innocence was ripped away as hijacked planes crashed into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Pennsylvania. The crimes these people had committed against America was the worst act of terrorism the world has ever seen.

Terrorism is not like any other crime although the it is set up like a crime. It has a victim and it has a perpetrator and the perpetrator aims at harming the victim. We will never be able to eliminate this basic concept from our country or the world.
