Here's the thing, in my humble opinion...
9/11 wasn't some blockbuster Hollywood movie we saw on the big screen of our local cinemas.
It was a day of multiple terrorist attacks, played out on the world stage- of the United States.
The blood was real, the crashes were real, the lives lost had been real people- living, loving, breathing, hoping, dreaming people. The devastation was not only real, but history changing.
In the eyes of Al-Qaeda, the attacks were a HUGE success. In their minds, and towards their goals, the terrorists were successful beyond their wildest dreams.
In their eyes, 9/11 was just the beginning.
