    drastically. i usually do not watch the news or think about war. but after 9/11 i now know how scary this can get. it has gotten to the point where others are killing civilians. a hate crime. i give 9/11 the respect it's due and take this day off every year to pay my respects. Like singer Darryl Worley put it:

    I hear people saying we don't need this war

    I say there's some things worth fighting for

    What about our freedom and this piece of ground?

    We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in

    Before you start preaching

    Let me ask you this my friend

    CHORUS 1

    Have you forgotten how it felt that day

    To see your homeland under fire

    And her people blown away?

    Have you forgotten when those towers fell?

    We had neighbors still inside

    Going through a living hell

    And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden

    Have you forgotten?

    They took all the footage off my T.V.

    Said it's too disturbing for you and me

    It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say

    If it was up to me I'd show it every day

    Some say this country's just out looking for a fight

    After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

    CHORUS 1

    Have you forgotten how it felt that day

    To see your homeland under fire

    And her people blown away?

    Have you forgotten when those towers fell?

    We had neighbors still inside

    Going through a living hell

    And we vowed to get the ones behind Bin Laden. Have you forgotten?

    I've been there with the soldiers

    Who've gone away to war

    And you can bet that they remember

    Just what they're fighting for

    CHORUS 2

    Have you forgotten all the people killed?

    Yes, some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field

    Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?

    All the loved ones that we lost

    And those left to carry on

    Don't you tell me not to worry 'bout Bin Laden

    Have you forgotten?

    Have you forgotten?

    Have you forgotten?

    I didn't think it would be possible but, now I hate all religion even more than I did. And now I want to wipe out anyone that thinks they can push their religion on me.

    Source(s): Now I am a devout atheist.

    It made me hate muslims and Islam. I will not do any buisness with any towel heads. If I do, I triple charge them.
