5 years on, and we still remember the events of 911 like they were only yesterday. I remember it well. For some reason, I was home early. I was living in the Vauxhall Road flat at that time with Hannah and Emma. I switched the television on, and it was all over the news. A plane had crashed into one of the WTC towers. As I watched, another plane flew right into the second tower. It was so unfathomable at that time, nobody had the foggiest clue what was going on. As the events unrolled the words 'terrorist attack' were used over and over again.

All I can say is this. Whatever the media says about George W. Bush, I actually like the man. It's never easy being the leader of the most powerful nation in the world. We get terrorists bombing us all over the place and mad dictators killing their own people, you can't expect him to just sit there and do nothing. Rightly or wrongly he went into Afghanistan and Iraq. Yes, there have been loads of casualties, but casualties happen in battles and wars. All this the media is harping on, why doesn't anybody acknowledge the amount of aid that the USA gives? So, everybody will criticize anyway. I say Mr Bush, pray for the right decisions to be made, and be strong. My thoughts and prayers during this time for all who lost their lives on this tragic day.
