Attacks on America Reviews

What have we become, can anybody make sense of the world anymore. I lay awake at night wondering what the future holds for my children, and will there be any future left for them when we’ve finished destroying the planet and each other? What do we teach our children these days? If someone hurts you hurt him or her back only better. If ...  Read the complete review

I cannot begin to imagine the feelings that the survivors of the atrocities of September 11th 2001 have to deal with now and in the coming months and years. I cannot fully imagine what the families of the victims will have to go through. I think the one feeling we all share is total disbelief. This is not an act of war in any ...  Read the complete review

When I first heard about what was going on in America, I couldn't really get my head round it. It was only when I arrived home and switched on the television, that I realised the sheer scale of the disaster. One of the first things I saw was the planes crashing into the WTC. I couldn't believe it, and as the story unfolded, what ...  Read the complete review

For obvious reasons, Miami Airport will be shown at a later date. I don’t think America really know what do military right now. Their tactics are either vague and unsure or sophisticated at this point although i suspect the earlier. It looks like they are using riot tactics were the cops flood the housing estate to quell the ...  Read the complete review

Like many others, I suspect, I have waited a while before posting any views here on events unfolding in recent days. As a BBC World Service journalist producing programmes covering these events, I've probably watched it all more closely than most. But what has got me over recent days is the sheer level of ignorance about the options in front ...  Read the complete review

Are you worried? I am. I, like many others, am appalled and shocked at the events of September 11, 2001. The human tragedy is beyond belief or calculation, and my thoughts and wishes go out to all those families, friends and colleagues of all those who perished or are missing as a result of the terrorist attack. ...  Read the complete review

One word sums up this awful event: disaster. When I switched on the TV on the afternoon of Tuesday 11th September 2001, I couldn't believ my eyes. The pictures I saw were amazing in a terrible way. The famous landmarks on New York, the twin towers (or the World Trade Center) were no longer standing. There was just thick layers of ...  Read the complete review

Since last week's attacks on the US, events have moved at lightning speed. There has been almost universal condemnation of the acts, from both ordinary citizens and from governments. Nearly every government in the world has condemned the acts, including Afghanistan's Taliban. The only people who have spoken up in praise of ...  Read the complete review

My family and I were on holiday last week when the World Trade Centre was attacked. We weren't anyway flashy, just down in Cornwall, but my husband, two sons, myself and my parents were having a great time in the swimming pool, teaching my mum to swim. Whilst we were all laughing and joking and having a great time, halfway across the world ...  Read the complete review

I like many, watched the events of the 11th September, unfold live before my eyes. Who will ever be able to forget those shocking and dramatic scenes, be broadcast live into our homes like some latest Hollywood blockbuster, ‘The American’s Versus….’, only this time it was real. This time it wasn’t just some computer ...  Read the complete review

To say I am shocked and horrified by the events of last week in the USA would be a crass understatement. My prayers and thoughts go out now to the survivors and their family and friends, and to President Bush, that he will show true statesmanship and moral courage. Hopefully Mr Bush will not display the weaknesses of other USA governments and ...  Read the complete review

My condolences to the families who lost their loved ones. Indeed my heart goes out to the Americans this time of trials and tribulations. My prayers are for the dearly departed that eternal peace grant into them by God the most high. But, where do we draw the line and who are the group of people to define “Tragedy”. When do we ...  Read the complete review

Tuesday 11th September, a day that will stick in the hearts of every civilized citizen's heart and mind as long as they live. On the afternoon in question, I was sitting an exam and couldn't understand why there was so much noise outside the room of what was usually a silent area, until being told the news at 5pm. I ...  Read the complete review

The attacks on America, an issue and topic that has definitely affected all of our lives in the past week, and something that will go down in history, and will never be forgotten. The fact that discussions of war are now all over our news programmes and papers shows that these attacks were not a good idea, especially in the view of the people of ...  Read the complete review

Within hours of the tragedy that took place last week, we heard stories of generous donations to an emergency fund from America's Top Corporations - $10m from Cisco was one that stuck in my memory. Their gifts drawing numerous comments on newscasts, and the cynic could argue a good public relations exercise. All fine and well. BUT, ...  Read the complete review

I was sat on a game site when I noticed that people were typing that they were so sorry and couldn't believe what was happening. Me, I didn't have a clue what they were talking about and then someone typed "my God the towers have fallen down". Well this roused my curiousity and I switched to the news on the T.V. I ...  Read the complete review

Since the attack on the WTC and the Pentagon I have seen so much blame being placed, too many things passed along in e-mail and a general feeling that while each of us is entitled to our own opinion, people seem to be arguing over why, who is to blame and so on. If we are going to argue among ourselves as a small group of people compared ...  Read the complete review

It had seemed an ordinary Tuesday afternoon. The kids were at school, I was watching Crossroads. Suddenly, instead of the expected adverts, there was an ITN news flash. I kind of expected it to be the Queen Mum – well, you do at 101, don’t you? Instead, some images of a plane hitting a skyscraper were shown. It was America; I ...  Read the complete review

We are at war! Thousands dead, and if the polls are to be believed, then thousands more are willing to give their lives! The mere thought sends a shiver down my spine. All reading this will already know all the details of the American bombings of the twin towers, pentagon etc, so I shall not bore you by repeating what you already know. ...  Read the complete review

The premises behind this opinion may be overtaken by events as there are conflicting reports coming out of Afghanistan. On the one hand we are led to believe that they have declared a jihad on the USA, alternatively we are told they are prepared to have Osama Bin Laden put on trial in a neutral Islamic country. I hope and believe that the second ...  Read the complete review
