Do you like terrorist attack in the world?
no never because I hate the terrorist I think they are dumb. Because they kill a lot of people and when people died is sad. In 9/11 a lot of children lost their perents and more than 2500 people died.
Yes, these terrorists are barbarous and savage. 9/11 is only one such incidence where many innocent people lost either their own lifes or the lifes of their loved ones.
But it feels really bad when someone who claims to be the protector of humanity (America) itself is responsible for the largest displays of terrorism in the history. Much more innocent people died when America bombed Japan, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Cuba, Afghanistan, Iraq etc than the victims of 9/11. And many countries were destabilized due to America interference.
Big shame on you America.
