A sad day indeed ,but also, a rude awakening that we can not afford to live in a bubble mentality.
Foreign affairs are crucial, and understanding of peoples and cultures is a matter of survival for the future generations. ( cultural exchange programs, internships abroad, study of foreign languages and cultures, but also, making sure the USA is adecuately armed w weapons, info, culture, knowledge etc)
The attackers in 9/11 were beyond barbarians, no question. Ignorant savages.
