September 11th - Overkill
By: Logan Nauert

September 11th was a very startling and awakening moment. No one knew exactly how many lives would be lost, or how much of the country would be directly impacted.

The United States as a whole bonded together, which was an astonishing thing. President Bush performed admirably, as did news coverage the following weeks. 

However, constant mention and recollection have gone overboard. Yes, loss of life was significant - but on a historical scale, it was unsubstantial.

Americans think too close-minded. We are not the only people on the face of the earth. Americans are seen worldwide as arrogant, and stupid. We expect other countries to feel sorry for us, while we really have no concern for anyone else. America - yeah, we're selfish.
