             Americans now have to get used to the idea that we are vulnerable. There hasn't been an attack on mainland America since the Revolutionary War. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was the last major attack on America, and that was a military base. Soldiers were the casualties in that attack, but in the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center towers on September 11th, civilians were the casualties. Since that terrible day, many people have asked the question,Should we fight??

By vigilance, I mean that we must be patient and constantly alert. We cannot afford to fall back asleep when our vulnerability has been spotlighted. America has had a long time of relative peace since the end of the cold war. Now we must grow up and take a hard look at the dangers of the modern world. .

There is no doubt that more lives will be lost in this new war. On the other hand, how many lives will be lost if terrorists are allowed to unleash their terror on anyone they feel has wronged them? .
             The terrorists in this attack gave their lives for the cause they believe in, which means they?re highly dedicated.
