Native Soil
Its been seven years since September 11th. When 9/11 happened I was only in fifth grade and knew very little about the incidents that occurred that day. I realized something tragic had happened and that America now felt extremely threatened. As years past and we continued to "remember" and discuss September 11th, i was able to learn more about what had happened. It wasn't until i saw On Native Soil, seven years later, that i was able to see and understand the view points of both, the public and the governments. When watching the video I began to realize how much power our government has and how much they had know about terrorism prior to the attacks. The plane crashes were seen by the public and couldn't be hidden by our government and because the public had witnessed this act of terror it was almost like all that prior knowledge the United States government had been hiding, was now revealed for everyone to see and question. It makes you wonder, what else isn't our government telling us? As for now September 11th has made me more patriotic and have greater apprecation for my "native soil".

i agree with allie, it makes me wonder what else they are hiding or just not telling us. as for september 11th, i dont understand how the people who had some sort of knowledge that we would somehow be attacked in some way went on with their daily lives just knowing that if they didnt tell higher authority that fellow americans would die becuase of their avoidable mistake. it seems almost unhuman to be able to live with themselves knowing that they could've avoided many people's deaths. i hope that america and it's government will learn from this mistake, and insure that it will never happen again.
